Not game 6 in 1986? That game still gives me gas.

I think somewhere I still have a VHS tape of that complete game, although I'm pretty sure I don't have a working VCR. That night I saw the "Hrkac Circus" move to 6-0 on the season with a win against NMU. Before leaving for the game, I set my VCR to record Game 6, intending to watch it when I got home. Fortunately, by default, I just set the recording to record the full 6 hours available on the tape.

I was in Boston the night of game six. Afterwards I just strolled around and listened to the lamentations. Conan was right; it is the best in life.

True story.

I set my VCR to the 8hr format to record the games.
Tape 1 - games 1 & 2 - both Sox wins
Tape 2 - games 3 & 4 - both Mets wins
Tape 3 - The complete game 5 - a Sox win. Then it ran out of tape in Game 6 at the 10th inning.
Tape 4 - (The Zapruder film) the bottom of the 10th & Game 7.

The VCR hung around another year before it was consigned to the dump.

Still, if ya gotta go, that's about as good a way as any.
 
that hair is awesome.

Funny how in the middle there the crowd is standing dead still.

And what the hell where they thinking with that 2nd album. "You can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish" :p

I totally despise REO, especially after Kevin Cronin won the power struggle with Richrath and they turned into a schmaltzy power ballad band, but Roll With The Changes is just a great song. The way Richrath jumps in after the organ solo and drives the song home is just pure rock and roll.

Subway co-founder Fred DeLuca, leukemia finally got him.

Quite a success story until the past two years or so.

Mr. DeLuca co-founded Subway in 1965 when he was just 17 years old. With a $1,000 loan from his friend Peter Buck, a doctor, Mr. DeLuca opened his first sandwich shop, called Pete’s Super Submarines, in Bridgeport, Conn. Initially, his plans were to raise money from the shop to help pay for his education to become a doctor.

Instead, Mr. DeLuca became a sandwich magnate. The partners set a goal of opening 32 stores in a decade. In 1974, when Messrs. DeLuca and Buck had 16 sandwich outlets throughout Connecticut, they realized they wouldn’t meet their goal unless they franchised the brand. Mr. DeLuca, a pioneer in restaurant franchising, turned Subway into a global empire with more than 44,000 locations. Forbes this year estimated his net worth at $3.5 billion.

REO Speedwagon guitarist Gary Richrath, 65.

You do not want to see a recent picture of this guy. Talk about letting yourself go, you can see why he died so relatively young.

Boy you are not lying. He looked as much like Rocky Dennis as he did Gary Richrath. Sad.

REO was the absolute s h it e at my high school. Every single person I knew was a fan. They were HUGE all around where I grew up. After their heyday but before the current craze of "nostalgia" rock and 80s bands tourning and drawing respectable crowds, REO played a county fair around here and drew 30,000 people. The fair was completely unprepared for the crush of people and the traffic jams went on for hours both before and after the show.

Margaret Juntwait, way back in June.

Tonight is the 135th opening for the Met Opera (Otello, starting at 7:30 and being simulcast many places, including Times Square for free), and I tuned in expecting to hear her on XM. She was a warm, beautiful, profound voice for opera and greatly deepened my appreciation for it. She was only 58 (ovarian cancer). She had been living under that diagnosis for over ten years, unknown to almost everyone.

Bless you, Madam, you are missed.
