Home Park: Our home is where the water is. City/State: We, uh, like to stay mobile. Team Captain: Quilvio Veras Honorary Manager: The guy in the minors who let Q run after he'd been caught stealing 34 times. Uniform Colors: Home: White and cranberry, Away: Gray on gray Song Most Played On Stadium P.A.: "Run Like hell" - Pink Floyd Baseball player I idolized as a child: Jim Rice Favorite active baseball players: Quilvio Veras, Rafael Furcal, Kerry Robinson and all the other Ryan's Razor guys out there. Favorite MLB Team: Boston Red Sox Favorite MLB Park: Chris is going to disagree, but it's Fenway. I love the wall. I love the triangle and I love that they chant "yankees Suck" when the Sox are playing Baltimore and the yankees are in California. Number of MLB parks visited: 5 Number of current MLB parks visited: 3 First MLB memory: That was before yesterday, right? The first specific memory was watching Jim Ed walk out to the batting cage for some extra work after the 162nd game of the '78 season and then listening to the playoff game on the radio. It wasn't until Reggie Jackson hip checked a ball into right field in the World Series that I started hating the yankees and everything they stand for. Cheaters. Every damn one of them. I hear they all have small penises too. Favorite MLB memory: Carl Yastremski at what must have been age 82 hitting a soft liner to right, feinting that he would go back to first and then taking off for second. The right fielder bit and didn't hustle to the ball. That old man who could barely walk used experience, wits and hustle to squeeze an extra base out of nothing. Favorite ballpark food: Foot long dogs!!! Foot long dogs!!! I guess you had to be there. You can't now, though. They tore that park down. The DH is: What I've always known. A fundamental difference between the AL and the NL. A distinction between the leagues that stems from and further fosters the bad blood that should still exist between the leagues. I remember when the All-Star game _actually_ meant something. But... I...digress... If I had Alex Rodriguez, I'd trade him for: A handful of magic beans. Even if I didn't get a beanstalk and a golden goose, I'd still be able to get Nomar, a #2 starter and a quality middle man. Favorite Sandwich: Chicken finger sandwich, ham, provolone, bacon, mustard and extra mayo and please, no charring this time. Favorite alcoholic beverage: I'm not sure that you'd call Rubbing Alcohol a beverage, but it's the only alcohol in my apartment. Favorite non-alcoholic beverages: Mmmmm...milk. There's always room for milk. Three people I'd love to play poker with: Chris Stoneman, Sean Gammon and the great American philosopher Jason Manfred Evans Three people I'd love to play strip poker with: Robyn (Chris knows), The Tin Can Lady, the super-mega hottie who hangs out in the UVM Medical Library from time to time First car: 1990 Hyundai Excel - "Are you crying? There's no crying in Hyundais." Three favorite Sunday comic strips: Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, Dilbert Three favorite comic book heroes: Superman, Gambit, and Lithium (I really have to get on that - then you'll know who I mean) Three favorite current TV shows: Mythbusters, Scrubs, Becker Three favorite cancelled TV shows: Sports Night, Herman's Head, Becker Three favorite movies: In order: Big, Groundhog Day, The Matrix Favorite baseball movie: Field of Dreams Seven bands I listen to: The Red Elvises, U2, The Talking Heads, Dr. Didg, Hepcat (maybe Alex Desert will rejoin them now that he's free of his Becker commitment), Steely Dan, Johnny Clegg and Savuka Favorite album: "The Joshua Tree" - U2 Return to the LGML Owners Page |
