Does anyone know where Billy Taylor is? Richmond or Syracuse? He was taken
by the Jays in the Rule V draft, but not kept on the roster. Baseball Weekly
said that he was demoted to Syracuse, but a Toronto paper indicated that
the Braves took him back. Is there an Atlanta fan, or anyone reading this,
who knows? | rec.sport.baseball |
Might? You'd have to have no sense of humor at all not to! My favorite
stuff are the Zero Heros, players who haven't hit homers in a long time,
the LGTGAH (who is that named after, I can't remember), and the box score
line of the week. Incidentally, I just found out that the column has been
moved to Sundays. I get my Dad to send it to me up here in Boston every
week. Great stuff! | rec.sport.baseball |
Giant's have a five man rotation of John Burkett, Trevor Wilson,
Bill Swift, Jeff Brantley, and Bud Black/Dave Burba. Black has
been put on the 15 day disables and Dave Burba will take his starts.

Mercedes-Benz announced yesterday its plans to begin building sport-utility
vehicles in the US by 1997. They are targeted at the Jeep Grand Cherokee
et al. and will reportedly sell for less than $30,000.
Did anyone see a picture? Is it the G-wagon (Gelaendewagen) currently
available in Europe (and in the US by grey-market) or is it an entirely new
vehicle? Any details would be appreciated. | rec.autos |
Beleive it or not: NY state once considered eliminating tolls for motor-

Mario realized the foolishness of trading a few hundred K $`s a year for
some relief in traffic congestion.

]"Get the organization to act on it" is easy to say, but says little
]about what one really can and should do. What the organization
]actually will do is largely determined by the president and directors,
]as far as I can see. That's what makes it so important to vote in an
]election of officers.
if I remember right, I heard that in the last election, only 18% of the
members actually cast votes. I wonder if the current board and their
friends and relatives make up 18% of the membership :-) :-) I certainly
plan on staying with the club long enough to vote and to see the results.
]It does strike me that the BMWMOA is a lot less politically active (in
]the state and national arenas, not infighting) than other M/C
]organizations. Should we change this? Or just join the other groups
]that already are in politics?
I wouldn't support the MOA becoming politically active in that sense.
the AMA already knows how to do that and I'd rather see the MOA support
the AMA in a manner that the *AMA* needs. I think that more could be
accomplished from one strong front rather than two not neccessarily
coordinated ones.

You raise a valid point, but again it's a tradeoff -- how much money
do you want to spend for that kind of protection? You could buy a
Volvo, Saab, or 'Benz and get really good crash protection (and other
luxuries) but you'll pay significantly more for it. In my case it's
out of the question because *all* of those cars are beyond my budget.
Even in high-speed head-on collisions the most beneficial item you can
have is a good old 3-point seatbelt. Nowadays, at least in the US,
you get an airbag if you get a 3-point belt so (presumably) you get an
added safety benefit there as well. That's something I certainly look
for and which can be had in inexpensive cars.

OK, you guys stirred up my childhood memories, so I went and did
some research on the final month or so of the 1964 season. It turns
out that my recollections were pretty darn accurate, at least as
far as the Phillies record goes. On September 1 1964 this was the
top of the N.L. standings:
W L GB
Philadelphia 79 51 -
Cincinnati 74 57 5 1/2
St. Louis 72 59 7 1/2
San Francisco 73 60 7 1/2
This is a game-by-game description of the remainder of the Phillies'
season:
Date Score Opponent Lead Pitcher (starting and winner/loser)
9/1 4-3 Houston 5 1/2 Bunning (15-4)
9/2 2-1 Houston 5 1/2 Short (15-7)
9/3 0-6 Houston 5 1/2 Bennett (9-12)
9/4 5-3 San Francisco 6 1/2 Mahaffey; Baldschun (6-5)
9/5 ??Win San Francisco 6 1/2 Bunning (16-4)
9/6 3-4 San Francisco 5 1/2 Short; Baldschun (6-6)
9/7 5-1 Los Angeles Bennett (10-12)
1-3 Los Angeles 6 1/2 Wise (5-3)
9/8 2-3 Los Angeles 6 Mahaffey (12-7)
9/9 5-10/11 St. Louis 5 Bunning; Baldschun (6-7)
(Cardinals take over 2nd place from Cincinnati)
9/10 5-1 St. Louis 6 Short (16-7)
9/11 1-0 San Francisco 6 Bennett (11-12)
9/12 1-9 San Francisco 6 Mahaffey (12-8)
(Giants move into a tie for 2nd with St. Louis)
9/13 4-1/10 San Francisco 6 Bunning (17-4)
(Cardinals back in sole possesion of 2nd place)
9/14 4-1 Houston 6 1/2 Short (17-7)
9/15 1-0 Houston 6 Bennett (12-12)
9/16 5-6 Houston 6 Bunning (17-5)
9/17 4-3 Los Angeles 6 1/2 Wise; Schantz (2-4)
9/18 3-4 Los Angeles 6 Short; Baldschun (6-8)
9/19 3-4/16 Los Angeles 5 1/2 Bennett; Baldschun (6-9)
9/20 3-2 Los Angeles 6 1/2 Bunning (18-5)
(Reds move back into tie for 2nd with Cardinals)
Well so far so good for the Phillies. But now it all falls apart ...
9/21 0-1 Cincinnati 5 1/2 Mahaffey (12-9)
(Reds take sole possesion of 2nd place)
9/22 2-9 Cincinnati 4 1/2 Short (17-8)
9/23 4-6 Cincinnati 3 1/2 Bennett (12-13)
9/24 3-5 Milwaukee 3 Bunning (18-6)
9/25 5-7/12 Milwaukee 1 1/2 Short; Boozer (3-4)
(Cards now 2 1/2 back in 3rd, Giants 3 1/2 in 4th)
9/26 4-6 Milwaukee 1/2 Mahaffey; Schantz (2-5)
9/27 8-14 Milwaukee -1 Bunning (18-7)
(Phils lose 7 1/2 games in 7 days; Reds take over 1st,
Cardinals 1 1/2 back in 3rd)
9/28 1-5 St. Louis -1 1/2 Short(17-9)
(Cardinals take over 2nd place, Phils drop to 3rd)
9/29 2-4 St. Louis -1 1/2 Bennett (12-14)
(Reds and Cardinals now tied for 1st)
9/30 5-8 St. Louis -2 1/2 Bunning (18-8)
(Cardinals take 1/2 game lead over Reds)
10/1 4-3 Cincinnati -1 1/2 Short; Roebuck (5-3)
(Phillies halt 10-game losing streak; Cards lead Reds by 1/2 game)
10/2 Did not play; Cards lose to Mets, Reds tied for 1st, Phils 1 game back
10/3 10-0 Cincinnati -1 Bunning (19-8)
(Cards beat Mets, take first by 1 from Reds and Phillies)
Whew! what a finish! And the final standings were:
W L GB
St. Louis 93 69 -
Philadelphia 92 70 1
Cincinnati 92 70 1
San Francisco 90 72 3
Now it doesn't appear to me that Phillies pitchers Bunning and Short
were really overused, at least by the four-man rotation standard of
the day, until well along into the 10-game losing streak, at which
time Mauch was probably desperate for a win at any cost because the
Phillies substantial lead had evaporated. The way they were used at
that time may have made the problem worse, although Bunning had one
of his sharpest games of the year in the final day 10-0 shutout of
the Reds that cost the Reds a share of the pennant. Bunning pitched
a complete game six-hitter, striking out five and walking one. It
would be inetersting to see, though, how the total innings for the
year for Bunning and Short stacks up against the rest of the league.
Also notice that the Phillies played every day from at least September 1
through October 1; while they didn't play substantially more games than
the other teams, the other teams each had a couple days off during that
stretch.

On the other hand, if it can be proven, it's possible the changed
terms could be thrown out. The question will be whether the
agreement contains a merger clause. See UCC @ 2-202 (parol

UCC @ 2-316 should be looked at.

No, he's not nuts, WIP is second to none THE sports station. They
don't have Tony Bruno working ESPN radio and Al Morganti doing Friday
Night Hockey because they suck. I live in Richmond Va, but I visit
Phila often, and on the way I get WTEM Washington) and WIP. I hear
the FAN at night wherever I go (the signal used to be WNBC, when they
played golden oldies) because you can't avoid it. Of those three,
WIP has the best hosts hands down. Chuck Cooperstein isn't a homer,
and neither is Jody Mac. WTEM is too generic to be placed in the
catergory. In fact if you have heard WTEM and the FAN you notice the
theme music is identical...same ownership?? I think so! WIP is
totally original. Their hosts actually have a personality (this is a
knock at TEM (the TEAM) not the FAN because Mike and the Mad Dog and
Sommers are good) I mean comparing the morning guys in Philadelphia
to the ones in Washington is a total joke. Anyway, I like the FAN
and WIP, but I think the edge goes to 'IP.
When I get back from Philly, I go into withdraw cause Richmond has
nada except the national sports line (and those guys are totally
clueless)
I was really mad when WCAU was cancelled because they had Steve
Fredericks doing sports phone after the Phillies games. (WCAU is
another strong station, now it's an oldies station, but they still
have the Phillies) I started listening to the FAN because I heard he
went there. I finally heard him last summer and he wasn't the same
guy. Those NY fans got to him. I was glad to hear him back in
Philly when I went to see a few Eagles games.
I will admit, I am die hard EAGLES fan and WIP is basically an
Eagles station 365 days a year. BUT, I bet you the Phillies are in
control right now.
About the knock on G. Cobb, I like him. He knows the Eagles like a
book. I remember the weekend before they went to play San Fran,
(when everyone thought the Eagles would be blown away) Cobb said that
the Eagles usually play their best when no one believe they can win.
Well they were inches shy of pulling the victory. | rec.sport.baseball |

Indeed, if the color teal on a team's uniforms is any indication of the
future, the Marlins are in dire trouble! Refer to the San Jose Sharks for
proof... But I have hope for the Marlins. I was a sometime member of the
Rene Lachemann fan club at the Oakland Coliseum, and have a deep respect
for the guy. He's a gem. And, of course, Walt Weiss gives that franchise
class. But yeah... whoever designed those uniforms was guilty of a paucity
of style and imagination. Ugghhh! | rec.sport.baseball |
Perhaps instead of this silly argument about what backup lights
are for, couldn't we agree that they serve the dual purpose of
letting people behind your car know that you have it in reverse
and that they can also light up the area behind your car while
you're backing up so you can see?
Backup lamps on current models are much brighter than they used
to be on older cars. Those on my Taurus Wagon are quite bright
enough to illuminate a good area behind the car, and they're
MUCH brighter than those on my earlier cars from the 60s and 70s.
Insofar as Vettes having side backup lights, look at a '92 or '93
model (or perhaps a year or two earlier too) and you'll see
red side marker lamps and white side marker lamps both near the
car's hindquarters. Those aren't just white reflectors. | rec.autos |
Sorry I can't help you with your question, but I do have a comment to
make concerning aftermarket A/C units. I have a Frost-King or Frost-Temp
(forget which) aftermarket unit on my Cavalier, and am quite unhappy with
it. The fan is noisy, and doesn't put out much air. I will never have
an aftermarket A/C installed in any of my vehicles again. I just can't
trust the quality and performance after this experience.

PRESS RELEASE
TO:: ALL BMW RIDERS
SUBJECT:: RALLY TIME IS HERE
FROM:: BMW CLUB OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
BMW 49'ER RALLY, MAY 27-31 (U.S. Memorial Day Weekend)
San Francisco Bay Area - 20th annual BMW 49'er Rally, sponsored by
The BMW Club of Northern Califronia, will be held at the Quincy,
California Fairgrounds, from May 27-31, 1993
Included in the $42 pre-registration fee, $47 at gate, are 4 Star
camping, field events and trophies, two dinners, rally pin, door prizes,
Poker Run, vendor displays, Fun Run, English Trials, and live music playing
throughout the weekend. Plus extras like hot showers, Tours, a Concourse
D'Elegance and more.
This is first time in the 49'er Rally's 20-year history that the
event is being held in Quincy. And according to Pat Gardner, Rally Chairman,
"The 49'er Rally's continuing growth and the need for a larger and more
complete facility led us to Quincy. Plus we can get there on either of our
two most favrite highways- Highway 70, which goes through the Feather River
Canyon, or up from the South via the Northernmost part of the Gold Country's
Highway 49."
Day passes will not be available and non-BMW rider must be a
pre-registered guest of a BMW rider.
The Quincy Fairgrounds is located on California State Highway 70/89,
two miles South of downtown Quincy.
For pre-registration forms and additional information, write Doug
Hubbard, BMW Club of Northern California, 41236 Norman Court, Fremont, CA
94539, or telephone <US> (510) 651-2195
ADDITIONAL NOTES::
This is a not for profit event and riders DO get their monies worth.
Whether you've ever attended a rally before or not This is the one
to make. The only problem has been that there are so
many activities that attendees have to choose one over another.
Quincy is a beautiful campground, lots of grass and little dust.
For folks who have been to previous 49'er rallies at Mariposa,
Quincy has lots of space, all of it flat so room is not a problem.
There are buildings and such available if there is a change in the weather.
Also the people of Quincy are going all out to welcome us.
Registration will begin on thursday. Of course there are always early
arrivals who will show up monday or tuesday. The registration fee pays
for camping Thursday through Monday (5 days). There will be a tour Friday
with the main events beginning Saturday. Sunday Evening will be the
awards ceremony. | rec.motorcycles |

I can see the liability of putting stickers on the car while it was moving,
or something, but it's the BDI that chooses to start and then drive the car
in a known unsafe condition that would (seem to be) liable. Furthermore, they
would have had the last chance to avoid an unsafe situation, which is an
additional factor in attributing "blame".
Anyway, stickers on the window are less effective... no one has any problem
taking a blade to a window to remove a stubborn sticker, but it's a different
story with that that nice paint job on the door....

the transmission in my car contradicts both your assertions.. i get much
stronger acceleration if i let the convertor lockup.. which i can induce
by briefly lifting off, then quickly (but not too quickly to trigger
a kickdown) applying throttle. above 3000 rpms, the convertor will never
unlock; it would kickdown first.
who says there's no skill involved in driving an automatic? i think
of it as the throttle and shifter combined into a single pedal. with
my car i can pretty much influence its shifting patterns with my
right foot, while having both hands to steer.

Yes. Unfortunately, there is also the concept that the owner of a car
is not responsible for the actions of any (authorized) user of the car.
That's one of the biggest arguments against photo-radar ticketing
systems.
Trouble with that is, you then have no recourse if a mis-issued ticket
or a clerical error on a computer follow you around. The City of Chicago
(the informal motto of which being "The City the Works") issues dozens
of parking tickets each year to people who have never set foot (or tire)
in the city.

And thus, we come to one of the true beauties of baseball; these things, along
with many others will never be separated. Almost *everything* in baseball is
situational and interdependent. This is what allows us to carry on all the
arguments that we have. If everything could be explained and balanced on a
statistical basis, none of the wonder and mystery would be left. Why we might
have to resort to just going out the ballyard and enjoy the game itself.

Sigha.
1) Trying to figure out a way to put a halogen beam on my CB360T... Are
there any easy ways to do this (i.e. a "slip-in" bulb replacement)?
2) Was told by a guy at the bike shop that my "not damn near bright enough"
incandescent beam might be caused by a perma-low battery. So I went and
picked up this cheapo "Motorcycle battery and charging system tester"...
Hook it up to the battery, it's got 3 lights on "Very good charge"... Start
the engine (to test the charging system), and it doesn't even REGISTER. It's
supposed to light 5 or 6 lights if everything is OK, but it stays down at
the same point as just the battery.
My question here is, if indeed my charging system is just plain messed up,
how the HECK is the battery staying fully charged? I'd think it would be
darned near dead from supporting my lights, etc...
Do the '75 CB360T's have a problem with their charging system? Are they
just generally slower charging than what is normal for bigger bikes?
Is there an easy fix for this?
3) Happy noise: Put 300 miles on my bike this weekend, finally got myass an
endorsement.... which is REALLY GOOD, because my cage just quit running
worth a damn and I won't have money to repair it until the first... ;) And

: Also watch your mirrors any time you are turning. I just had another close
: one last night. Preparing for a right turn on a two lane road. Right turn
: signals on, starting the turn, and this lady behind me hits the throttle and
: starts to pass me on the RIGHT. This has happened to me twice before. the
I have had this happen to me often enough that I always look for it.
On my ride to work in the morning I come to a stop light where there are
3 lanes in my direction. One for left turns, one for straight through, and
one for right turns. All clearly marked. Plus there is a clearly marked
bicycle lane. I ride into the right turn lane with my signal on and stop at
the stop line. Looking left to see if I can make a "right turn on red" and
when I start to move discovered that some idiot has pulled into the bike
lane and is trying to pass me on the right. GRRR.
I always do a head check on bike lanes. Not always for bicycles. . . | rec.motorcycles |

Check with the local fire department. My buddy is a firefighter and they
have these small map books which are Amazing! They are compact, easy to
use (no folding). They even have a cross reference section in which you
match your current cross streets with the cross streets you want to go to
and it details the quickest route. They gave me an extra they had laying
around. But then again I know all those people I'm not really sure if they
are supposed to give/sell them. (The police may also have something
similar).

From this account, it doesn't sound like you even saw the goal, Mike. Smith
came out from behind his own net and fired a breakout pass that hit Fuhr in the
back of the leg. Fuhr was backing up at the time and never saw what
happened. The puck went straight off Fuhr's leg and into the net. Fuhr never
had a chance. There was no play back to the goaltender, in fact Perry Berezan
of Calgary had just dumped it in and Smith was retrieving it.
It was unfortunate that it happened; Smith is a nice guy and was only a rookie
at the time, and on his birthday too. But all the blame lies with him. Starting
in pee-wee coaches tell players never to make a cross-ice pass in front of
their own net. Too much chance of having it intercepted, or hitting the
goaltender, or whatever.
And to the people who say that Smith cost the Oilers the series, I can only
say that he certainly didn't cause the team to lose the other three games.
There was no reason for a powerhouse team like Edmonton to be tied late
in the third period of the 7th game of the second round. Everybody on the team
has to take responsibility for them even being in that situation. | rec.sport.hockey |

Been a while since you hit the PIP? The pavement (at least until around
exit 9) is for sh*t these days. I think it must have taken a beating
this winter, because I don't remember it being this bad. It's all
breaking apart, and there are some serious potholes now. Of course
there are also the storm drains that are *in* your lane as opposed
to on the side of the road (talk about annoying cost saving measures).
As for traffic, don't try it around 5:15 - 6:30 on weekdays (outbound,
rush hour happens inbound too) as there are many BDC's...

Pierre,
For purposes of the tie breaker, you only count the first three games in
each city. Therefore, Quebec cannot possibly be ahead of Montreal 4-3,
and there's probably only one game that counts remaining between Boston
and Quebec, which means Boston has probably already won. | rec.sport.hockey |

Hi netters,
My friend is seriously thinking of getting the Subaru SVX. There is
a local dealer here in Seattle selling them for $22600, with
Touring package, that's $7400 off from MSRP. He thinks it's a
very good deal (and I think so too). Since he knows I have access to
the net, he would like to get anyone's opinion about this car, especially
in the area of reliability and maintenanability.
Please send e-mail to me as my friend doesn't have access to the net.
My opinion about this car is, you get a lot for $22600:
auto everything (tranny, climate control, windows, locks, folddow rear seet),
full wheel drive, 2+2, fast (143 top spped), heavy (3580lb);-)
Thanks in advacne! | rec.autos |

But only in NY,NJ, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Everywhere else, the only
reason SportsChannel was available was for local baseball broadcasts.
And local baseball pre-empted the NHL playoffs. Thus far into this
playoff season, ESPN/ABC has given me more hockey in 2 days (1 game)
than SportsChannel did (0 games).
If people want hockey on TV, they should watch hockey on TV. I bet the
ratings for hockey on Sunday on ABC went into the toilet. Next week, there
will be far fewer ABC affiliates with hockey.
Someone in this thread said that he wouldn't watch the games even if
they were on TV, and this is a r.s.h. regular contributor!

for Springfield, while Nylander wanted to play for Sweden. The Whalers allowed
the NHL to decide, and the NHL chose the WCs. How does this differ from the
Rangers and Oilers? Did the Whalers have to go through the league, or could
they have forced Nylander to play in Springfield? | rec.sport.hockey |
Once, on Jeopardy, the category was "Jewish Sports Heros," believe it
or not. The answer was, "This pitcher had four no-hitters with the
Dodgers in the 60s." The contestant said, "Who is Hank Aaron?" Alex
Trebek said something like, "I don't think Hank Aaron was a pitcher." | rec.sport.baseball |

I'm not a redneck but . . . try a walk in their shoes first. Stereotypes
are usually of very limited value. I've seen as many ignorant
self-righteous "open minded" new age lovers of the great planet Earth
as I have ignorant "red necks". I don't see a correlation. I don't
believe that the "redneck" culture, if you can call it that, is
necessarily inferior or superior to any other.

Maybe I can help you. He's a major league coach with the Rockies.
So above prediction is doubly wrong.
My prediction: The Red Sox-Cubs Series and Vikings-Broncos SuperBore will
occur at the end of the world.
And one Rockie will finish in the top 10 of an offensive catagory this
year.
And no Rockie starter will have an ERA below 3.50.
And the Rangers fade will not begin until...August. They'll give way
to the Angels. But still challenge to the end.
Really. Not making any of this up. If I am, may God strike me down *ZZZZZZT*

I disagree. McNall has demonstrated with Gretzky that a star brings out the
crowds whether or not the team is expected to do well. Very few fans real-
istically expect the Kings to do well this year (although I do) and yet they
still go out to see Gretzky. This is the marketing strategy - selling the
game by selling the stars - that is employed by Baseball and, notably, the
NBA and this is the attitude that the new Bettman/McNall leadership is
bringing to the league. They have gone on record as stating that they are
trying to sell the game on its stars. Timo Salami and Brett Hull are perfect
examples of players that real fans know aren't worth a damn and yet, being
benificiaries of marketing-oriented coaching strategies, have goal totals
that would indicate to the casual observer, the very fans the NHL wants to
attract, that these players are indeed superstars.
It ain't nearly so simple as this. The casual fan doesn't think about much
at all. Can you actually find an adult with a 3 digit IQ who believes that
McDonalds makes good hamburgers?
Yes but apparently the Rocket has not lived up to his marketing responsi-
bilities has he? He was hyped, initially, as a superstar, but outside of
one Grey Cup game he has done very little to maintain/enhance that assess-
ment of his talents. Most Argo fans probably feel the team would be better
off without him.

We here are *VERY* interested in info on R12 substitutes (in fact I

I would really appreciate technical, supply, and hardware-upgrade

Also, R12 is a useful solvent/reagent in the extraction/production of

I am currently working with the local engineers who are making sure
we are compliant with the regulations. The trouble with regulations is
that they only tell you what you are no longer permitted to do, not what
you should do instead.
I think the cause of the new regulations is the Montreal Protocol
which has a definite CFC-phase-out schedule. (Of course the cause of
the Montreal Protocol was all the research done on the causes of the
Ozone Depletion Problem.)
Someone asked earlier about why the governments were working so fast
to ban the ozone-depleting (CFC) chemicals and not gasolines and other
greenhouse-gas-producing compounds. The greenhouse effect (produced by
infrared-trapping gasses like CO2 and methane) and the ozone-hole problem
(produced by long-lived, chlorine-containing molecules) are not the same
thing. It is a lot easier to do something about not using the CFC's
(chloro-fluorocarbons) than it is to stop producing CO2 and methane which
are natural byproducts of combustion and of living (animal) organisms.
Planting more trees and not destroying so many existing trees would help
the greenhouse-gas problem, but would do nothing for the ozone problem.

TSN Sportsdesk just reported that the OTTAWA SUN has reported that
Montreal will send 4 players + $15 million including Vin Damphousse
and Brian Bellows to Phillidelphia, Phillie will send Eric Lindros
to Ottawa, and Ottawa will give it's first round pick to Montreal.
If this is true, it will most likely depend on whether or not Ottawa
gets to choose 1st overall. Can Ottawa afford Lindros' salary?
Personally, I can't see Philli giving up Lindros -- for anything.
They didn't give away that much to Quebec just to trade him away
again. Not to mention that Lindros seems to be a *huge* draw in
Phillie -- and that he represents a successful future for the
franchise.
Ottawa may be better off taking the 4 players +$15 from Montreal
for the pick. | rec.sport.hockey |

$ The biggest hurdle for automatics (IMHO) is not shifting speed
$ per se, but rather the transmission's reaction speed when you
$ try to force it to shift manually.
$ [...]
I rented an Oldsmobile Achieva (is that a yuppie name or what?) and a
Nissan Stanza. They both had automatics. I'm a manual transmission
bigot but I have to admit that the transmissions on these cars were
better shifters than I am. And yes, they responded very quickly to
kickdown requests. The Nissan had a tachometer so I was able to figure
out which gear I was in. (The Olds may have also, but I don't
remember.) I believe it shifted all the way down to second at about 50
mph when my foot told it, "No I really want to accelerate quickly."
I would still prefer a manual, but I won't delude myself into thinking
that I can out-accelerate a modern automatic. And I'm very smooth at
shifting but certainly not as good as an automatic. | rec.autos |

I would e-mail this to you, but my mailserver doesn't recognize you or

Anyway, the worst pitcher on the Yanks. If you mean currently on the team,
then I have to go with Scott "I'm a schizophrenic...No, I'm NOT!"
Kamienicki. Sure, occasionally the guy can pitch well for 5 or 6 innings,
but then he starts to go insane. A sure sign that he's losing his stuff
(and his mind) is when he starts to stalk around the mound between batters
and yell at himself.
The worst all-time Yanks pitcher? Gotta go with Ed "New York? I have to
pitch in [gulp] New York?" Whitson. 'Nuff said!

But why would you want to use RBI? RBI is an attempt to measure is some
combination of clutch hitting and power hitting. If you believe in
clutch hitting, then look at how the guy hit with RISP. If you want to
see how good of a slugger he is, then look at his slugging average.
In terms of evaluating players, RBI totals are better than nothing. But
why use them when so many better stats are out there?

Well, with players, certainly. However, it is quite possible to win

Well as for team captains being traded
in there first year in the NHL the
Edmonton Oilers traded their captain
Ron Chiperfield to the Quebec Nordique
right at the trading deadline for
Goaltender Ron Lowe
In their second year of existence
The Edmonton Oilers again right at the trade
deadline traded their captain, this time
B.J. McDonald to the Vancouver Canucks
along with the rights to winger Ken
Berry for Garry Lariviere and the rights
to Lars Gunner Petterson
as for more captain trivia, the next Edmonton
captain was Lee Fogilin who was later traded to
the Buffalo Sabres, after him was Wayne Gretzky
who was traded to L A, then came Kevin Low who
only this year was traded to the N Y Rangers
so that every captain the Edmonton Oilers have had
has been traded.
The present captain is Craig McTavish and we'll
just have to wait and see.

Sorry, but this is the biggest load of bunk I've seen in a while.
a) The Pirates have been trying to trade LaValliere for some time now.
Nobody was even vaguely interested.
b) Several other teams had made it known that they would grab Prince,
who was out of options.
c) LaValliere's release had nothing to do with him being through. He
was released, because, in the event of an injury to Slaught,
LaValliere is no longer capable (they believe) of being the everyday
catcher.
Since Slaught is as good against righties as he is against lefties,
the offense should actually improve with this move. | rec.sport.baseball |

Sorry, Nelson, but you forgot to ask me. If you check the THN stats for

4/16 issue (1-3-4 with 13 PIM). Not exactly invisible.
Well, having gotten to a chance to talk to him a few times, this isn't quite
accurate. He injured his back (a disk injury) and did one stupid thing,
which was to hide it from the Sharks and he tried to play through it because
he knew he was on the bubble. The Sharks then sent him to K.C., at which
point he disclosed the injury. Since he didn't disclose it, the Sharks and
he disagreed about the responsibility and he was suspended for not
reporting. That was eventually worked out, the Sharks re-instated him as
injured and put him into therapy, and when he was able to play then shipped
him down to K.C. He fully expects to play in the NHL again, although clearly
not with the Sharks (hiding injuries is a stupid no-no, beyond just a
no-no).
Very nice guy. Always hustled his butt off. He disappeared because he was
hurt. I expect he'll surface with another team at some point (probably
another expansion team), but is likely to be a bubble player for the rest of
his career. Has a good work ethic and is good at getting other players
motivated. Unfortunately, he played himself out of the Sharks future with a
bad judgement call.
Always gave 110%, best work ethic on the club (except maybe Kisio), but
hustle isn't always enough. His future with the Sharks was made clear to me
one night against the Flames when he went behind the crease and tried to
hold Joel Otto against the board. He literally had one arm around Otto's
neck and another wrapped around Otto's stick arm. Otto casually turned
around and fed the puck in front of the crease for a goal, as though Carter
wasn't there. Hustle can only cover size so far.
The Sharks have told me, point blank, that he's gone for good (ditto HUbie
McDonough). He was one of the favorites of the staff, but as one said to me
"you have to make room for the kids". Carter, in fact, refused to report to
K.C. and has been suspended by the Sharks. That might be a defacto
retirement, but I haven't heard anything official. His only hope in hockey
now is the Gulls.
Because, at least from the games I saw him in, he was outmatched and looked
fairly lost on the ice. I think he shows potential, but I didn't think he
was quite ready to make the jump to the NHL.
Agreed (BTW, I still think a lot of your grades are more based on how you
wish they'd performed than how they actually performed. I wonder whether you
can really judge talent from radio and television, Nelson? I know I have
trouble, since you don't see the off-puck action. your views from home and
my views from the ice differ in numerous ways)
Coffee. Coffey is with the Red Wings.
You? Nah...
He was seriously unimpressive, even as a tough guy (his rep). However, as
few games as he had in a season that was at that point meaningless, I hate
to judge the talent too quickly. Butn in Dody's case, I"m tempted to make an
exception.
But I won't.

Lake State/Maine in finals...WHO WON? Please post.
| rec.sport.hockey |
Wales Conference, Adams Division, Semifinal
I'm hoping for a Fuhr miracle, but I agree that Boston will likely win the
series. Goaltending is about equal, top offensive players are about equal
(Mogilny-LaFontaine vs. Oates-Juneau), but Buffalo has no answer to Neely
(not to imply that Neely is not a top offensive player btw, in fact he's one
of my favourites even though he's a damn Bruin :) ). And the rest of the
matchup wrt lineup favours Boston anyway. But I think it will go six.
Agreed here...but Montreal will be pushed to the limit. Is it just me, or
does everything Montreal does in the playoffs come down to Roy? Go Habs!!
Final
I can't predict a Montreal victory because I've been watching them play for
6 weeks and IMO they severly need some tougher players, especially to play
in the Garden. Last time they beat the B's 5-2 but Boston had a clear
territorial advantage; the victory was Roy's. At the same time, I can't
bring myself to predict the possibility of a loss, so I'll just say I will
not be putting money on this series. :-)
Agreed. NY doesn't have the goaltending to stop the onslaught, independent
of the trouble they have given Pittsburgh this year. Pens in five, which is
credit to NY.
Agreed here too, but I think it will go at least six. Jersey has a decent
team, and Washington has done poorly against the division this year.
I think they will use Tabaracci more after Beaupre gets shelled. I don't
think it will go six either...*maybe* five.
If Pittsburgh plays Boston, IMO they win in likely five, possibly six. They
own the Bruins. If they play Montreal, I think it will go to seven, and once
again I won't be putting money on the seventh game. I say seven because the
Habs have played Pittsburgh very tough this season.
Chicago will win, but I think in at least six. Chicago is not that good,
IMO. And remember that they take ridiculous numbers of penalties.
Very true. The Leafs have much to be proud of, but they will soon find out
why Montreal did so lousy in the playoffs. Toronto might win two or three
at MLG though. Wings in six, maybe even seven.
It _will_ be a war...possibly the most intense playoff series of them all.
And yes, I think Detroit will win. Probert will have to come up big though.
Our first disagreement. Canucks are playing like shit. They don't use their
size *at* *all*, which may explain why they get hammered 8-1 by a team
chasing them (Calgary)....Winnipeg in six.
This is also tough for me to call, because I haven't seen the Smythe enough.
I don't think Roberts will be well enough to figure in, Coffey is a
non-issue, who cares what Carson has done before, and *never* underestimate
Gretzky. LA in six.
If it is these two, Calgary will not need six games. But I think it will be
LA-Winnipeg anyway, and LA in seven, because of home ice.
Wow, must've been tough to go against your team. But let's see, I picked
LA-Detroit. Detroit will win, probably in six.
If Pittsburgh plays Detroit, it will go longer than five, and I wouldn't bet
against the Wings. They are very strong, IMO, and nobody knows *how* strong
because they've been underachieving most of the year. If forced to choose,
though, I'd have to take the Penguins.
A side note. Vlad, last week you said that Selanne was a better player than
Gilmour. NO WAY. He is a more talented pure goal scorer...but aside from
the age difference, there is no way I would take him over Gilmour on my team.
I'm not asking for flames, either, btw....I've spent more than enough time
arguing on behalf of Selanne and I still say he's a great player. But while
he and Gilmour are both dangerous offensively (give Teemu an edge),
Gilmour *does* *it* *all*. I know a lot of Gilmour-bashing goes on, esp.
from Flame fans. But IMO you guys are letting your dislike of Gilmour cloud
your judgement when it comes to his skill. He is easily one of the best
all-round players in the NHL.

But they can put out a lot of particulate matter. I heard

diesel emissions". Is there anything in the works to
install "scrubbers" for diesels? How about the feasibility
of installing them on trucks and cars? Would it be any
different than a catylitic converter? I'd assume easier,
since we're removing particulate matter instead of converting
gasses. Let's hear people's opinions...

Ditto for me.. | rec.motorcycles |
I was at a Cincinnati Cyclones game a year ago when the local country
station sponsored a kazoo giveaway. After a particularly bad call by the
underexperienced ECHL ref, it was Kazoostorm time down on the ice. I
thought this was a pathetic display by the fans, but they were rightfully
unhappy. | rec.sport.hockey |
Make that worldwide coverage. I know numerous people who were planning
holidays to the Florida, and have now chosen another (non-US)
destination. You expect this sort of thing, perhaps, in third world
countries - but not the US! | rec.autos |
I can't tell if Matt is being sarcastic here or not, but to be honest, many
automobiles are worth far more to their owners (in $$ value and $$ investment)
than the people that would take them. I don't have figures on average property
tax in the U.S. or how much of it is allocated for housing projects, inferior
public schools, jails, or the like, but I have a feeling that the amount the
government steals from an honest, productive citizen to breed this trash is
significantly less than the value of many automobiles. And for those who will
argue that the animals out there stealing cars and everything else (not to
mention committing COMPLETELY senseless acts of violence, such as rape) cannot
be valued in terms of money because they are human beings, I submit that they
are not human beings. Jim Callison, I think, is on the right track. And
Chintan Amin remarked earlier that we cannot blame environment for the actions
of a single criminal. I couldn't agree more. One could trace any crime back
to the environment/upbringing of the criminal; should we let all of them out,
from pickpockets to rapists to inside traders, because what they did wasn't
their fault? Where does one draw the line?

I was hoping for something like "The chassis exhibits X
degrees of flex when subjected to forces of more than Y units.
Forces of more than Y units begin to manifest at Z miles per hour."
Not "Well, gee, it wasn't designed to go fast because, uhh,
well, gee, it wasn't designed to go fast. It's not a Porsche, you
know".
Well, as compared to the normal Taurus, the SHO comes
with more supportive seats,better brakes,a stiffer suspension,
different tires, and a body design that takes advantage of aero
effects to keep the car on the ground (or at least I think that's
what all that boy-racer plastic is for). You're kidding yourself if
you think any car on the road has a passenger compartment made to
withstand 130 MPH impacts.
Oh, right. Only 120,000 dollar cars should be driven fast.
They drive goddamn Rabbits at 120 MPH in Europe, pal, and I reckon
a Taurus is at least as capable as a Rabbit.
Of course not. "Speeding-is-bad. Speeding-is-illegal.
I-will-not-speed. I-love-Big-Brother." You had your mind made up
already.
It's interesting that lots of the roads out west had *NO*
speed limits until 1975. | rec.autos |
I don't understand the fascination with vent windows. They create a tremendous
turbulence and noise that makes even a simple connversation impossible at
speeds above 40mph. The current flow-throuh ventilation, if designed right,
are far more superior. | rec.autos |
It's normal for the BMW K bikes to use a little oil in the first few thousand
miles. I don't know why. I've had three new K bikes, and all three used a
bit of oil when new - max maybe .4 quart in first 1000 miles; this soon quits
and by the time I had 10,000 miles on them the oil consumption was about zero.
I've been told that the harder you run the bike (within reason) the sooner
it stops using any oil.

Detroit's going to beat Toronto in 6 or LESS!!!
Granted, Gilmour should get the Hart Trophy, NOT Lemieux... Just
Look at what Gilmour did for Toronto. When you think of Toronto,
who comes to mind, Gilmour, Andreychuk, Potvin...ah...did I mentio
n Gilmour?
Back to Detroit... There really isn't a team that could stand up
to them if all the players on the team play to their potential,
no one could stop them. Yzerman, Fedorov, Coffey, Lindstrom...
there's more firepower there than Pittsburgh... and they don't tri
p over their own skates!

Let's see how the weather is Saturday or Sunday. It sucks
today. What time is good?
You're welcome to give any of the ones I have a try. As
for the gargoyles, if you want mine you can have 'em. I
think the bridge of my nose holds them too far from my face.
Same deal for the two of my friends who tried them. For
people who use them with a full face helmet, all bets are
off. Sorry if they fit you well and took my complaint
personally. Yes the Oakleys are much more desirable squid
attire. Also the gargoyles aren't that ugly, even in my
opinion, or I wouldn't have tried them.
