I thought you just being on this board was your claim to fame.

Oh yeah. Tom Cruise was my brush with fame.  I once saw Hugh Grant crossing the street in NY and said "Hey Hugh" which sounds a lot like "Hey you!".  He totally ignored me.  Same thing with Martina Hingas with her bodyguards walking in NYC after being ousted from the NY Open in tennis.  That's about it.

Wait!  Ate at Rusty Staub's restaurant in NYC and he stopped at the table to say hi.  Seemed like a really nice guy.

Hung with sweet Lou Piniella at his bar/restaurant at a mall in NJ.  Also seemed like a regular guy.  Yeah, that's about it.  Unless I remember a few more!

Kind of pissed that I missed his 3 hit outburst but not so pissed when I remind myself that I went to go see the new Top Gun movie and how awesome it was.

Maverick>Adley Rutschman 

I saw it in 4DX. Moving seats, wind, mist, snow..

It was awesome

I also saw the Top Gun movie tonight.  It was good, but Adley has a higher ceiling with no chance of going below the hard deck.

My one criticism of the movie: the supporting actors had such short dialogue.  I don't think Goose's kid ever spoke more than one sentence at a time.

Adley is going to rip sh*t up moving forward.

As a kid, I got Muhammed Ali’s autograph while he was eating in the same restaurant we were in, and I got to shake Ted Williams’ hand in the dugout when he was manager of the Washington Senators after I was named “honorary batboy” for one game by getting my name picked out of a drum.   I was 13 at the time, and as far as I was concerned, I shook hands with a God.   

When I was 12, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.  His son enrolled at my junior high school that fall, and my friend and I were serving as hall guides at parent/teacher night when Armstrong showed up.  My friend spotted him, walked down the hall, “accidentally” bumped into him and came back to me and exclaimed, “I touched a man who touched the moon!”   Pretty cool, when you think about it.

You should have slugged your friend.  That way you could have punched a guy who touched a man who touched the moon.  Pretty cool, when you think about it.

Almost as if you punched the moon yourself and who hasn't wanted to punch the moon at some point?

Or, I could just punch you.

I met Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day. Not sure if he is related to Neil.He was eating lunch before a gig in the area  I asked him if he wrote Anerican Idiot about me.

I met Brooks Robinson twice (got his autograph both times) Rod Carew twice, Paul Blair, Richie Hebner, Bill Singer, Len Sakata, Floyd Raford and Aretha Franklin, Bob Denver (of Gilligan's Island fame) and Joyce DeWitt.  (Also, the Dali Lama.  He said upon my death I would achieve instant enlightenment so I've got that going for me.

Joyce DeWitt was completely random.  I live in Charleston, WV... not exactly a metropolis.  Walked in to a restaurant right after work with my girlfriend a few years ago and there she was sitting at the bar with a friend.  My girlfriend recognized her immediately and desperately wanted a picture.  So, me being me, I went up and asked and she said "of course."  Her friend was living in Charleston and Joyce made a detour to see her.

    • We have an off day to give Mounty an extra days rest. We have an off day next Monday as well with the ASB looming. Mounty is close to making the ASG so I doubt he wants to hit the IL.  Meaning a RP would have to go for Mayo. I think we’re trying to keep Urias this season and move on from him in the offseason. Mayo is on target to be added as our extra player in September unless we have an injury.  It sure would be nice to bring Mayo up and let him get a ton of ABs to be ready for the playoffs.  At the end of the day, what’s worth more?  Urias as an insurance policy that shouldn’t get ABs in the playoffs, or developing Mayo that should get playoff ABs?  
    • When Kremer comes back and if we get a #3 starter, would that help bolster the pen? You can move Suarez and Irvin/Povich into the pen.
    • Those three starts were going against @NYY, @Hou, and Texas. He’s slated to go @Oak with an extra day of rest.  We have to differentiate between regular season SP and playoff SP. Just like how we have to do with regular season RP and playoff RP.  Irvin, Povich, Kremer, and Suarez, are fine options to get you through 162.  Burnes, and Grayson, are our playoff options right now. We need a game 2/3 SP. The playoff RP core looks to be Kimbrel, Cano, Webb, Coloumbe(if healthy), and Perez. It would be nice to add two arms to the playoff RPs. 
    • I had thought Hell’s Bells was about trying to avoid your wife and family to watch O’s games. 
    • Westburg’s lack of lateral quickness has been pointed out there.  Then again, everyone will look less quick when compared to Mateo. I think Mayo’s more of a 3B/1B with us. Position versatility. That’s not a knock on him at 3B, but that we like players in different positions to match up. Mayo is no different. 
    • Irvin’s next start is scheduled for @ Oakland. As of right now, we’d be scheduled to have the back half of the rotation for the Yankees series right before the break. I could see us tinkering with the rotation so that we have Burnes and Grayson at least going vs the Yankees.  I could see us going with a 6 man rotation after the ASG. Especially if we were to make a trade for Scherzer. 
    • Thank you for your advocacy for Jackson on CF position.  My reasons almost same as yours .  Having said that , Jackson should also work on 2B .  There’s too many players and limited positions , ABs have to be rationed as well.  The upcoming deadline will likely reveal who’s staying and who’s leaving.  In the meantime , they should let Jackson heal any injuries and refine his positional skills
