can I give another clue ?

Contestants were always asked to 'enter and sign in, please'

yeah, they still have to play the games. Reminded me of last year when the Sox beat the Yanks 8 or 9 straight in the beginning of the year. The Yankees were going nowhere fast, and I still haven't quite figured out how they went from a bunch of wealthy individuals, to a TEAM, but they did. I do credit the rock that is Jeter,and as much as I've disliked him, the 'religious conversion' of Arod.I hope he doesn't forget come the new season.

And lest we forget, there are a number of other teams that aren't there to be doormats to the northeast.As much as we like to predict, the wisdom of Yogi says it best;"In baseball, you don't know nothing".

You Fenway franks are going to love Lackey's game, and determination. Just a shout out to prepare you for the first time the shortstop makes an error. Lackey tends to stare down offending fielders-at least he did in Anaheim. Heck of a pitcher, though.

not that it matters to me-but I don't recall '3 times 3' in that class. I remember 'thrice twice', which confused me anyway.

Of course it's been a long time...thankfully.

alright-since he's on my mind..

"some more blood, Chekov.the needle won't hurt, Chekov.take off your shirt, Chekov.roll over, Chekov.breathe deeply ,Chekov. blood sample, Chekov.marrow sample, Chekov. If I live long enough,I'll run out of samples"

I haven't seen that shirt.

I have no idea if he's cute or not. Just one great ballplayer.

not sure what that means....

not sure I want another season of Yanks vs Sox sniping in here either

and it was on the air for something like 17 years ! A few years ago, they were rerunning it, in sequence, every night, and it became an addiction for me to try to catch every one

I understand the Nomar love because it's similar to my Jeter love. There was a time when those two were compared like Mantle and Mays used to be.

Hey, Nomar had some HUGE moments in LA. The problem is they were moments-rising briefly from the dl-then just as quickly going down again.

Still, one of my 3 best days at Dodger Stadium , was the day Nomar hit a grand slam in the 9th inning to seal the division title. I don't recall if that WON the division, or put the stamp on it-heck-I'm having difficulty remembering what YEAR it was, but it was an amazing moment. It was also fan appreciation day, where cars and trips were being given away throughout the game, which made it a festive time to begin with.

I loved Nomar in LA-he just needed to take the field more.

I think the Strangers have a shot this year. The Angels aren't a lock. But it's the Mariners I'm really curious about. They made huge improvements this winter-like they're really serious about winning or something.

But do we all know what show you were referencing -'flip over all the cards' ? I know the answer-maybe everyone does.

is it ok if I add a hint ? Just like 'the Addams Family" and 'the Munsters" appeared at the same time-this show appeared at the same time as a similar-less funny, one did. They were both jumping on the Batman, comic book craze, and sank almost as fast.

Don't know the title, but that's the one where Riker learns to eat g'aaa (sic) for a sabbatical on a Klingon ship.

Good episode. Riker is one character I liked more as the show developed, but could never convince anyone else.

That 'some blonde lady' was Doris Day, and the movie was 'That Touch of Mink. It's right there with 'Safe at Home" as reasons why Mantle and Maris never became actors. Still, any footage of them is always nice to see. Yogi, as always, is perfect.

I cheated and googled it. I should have known it, though. Good one.

hmmm-I know I've heard some of these lines-but I can't place it-yet

my 'first thought' is the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour-but I'm not sure

Hope Kelly is ok-and the rest of the family as well, of course.

bullwinkle is kee-rect

Topo Gigo-the Italian mouse puppet, saying goodnight to Ed Sullivan

which made me think of this one, somehow

"Hiya Joe...hello Mr Dunahee"

I knew George would know it. That's funny about Speedy. I doubt he was saying 'jeepers' every 5 minutes like Jimmy Olsen did, though.

sorry-between 70 hour work weeks, and a ton of personal stuff, I somehow forgot it was my turn.

let's see if we can get this in 1 word-

"Jeepers"

I've only been to Brattleboro twice-but I love that place. A friend from high school moved there years ago, and a better fit can not be found. She never left the 60's either.

Most ballpark hot dogs have been disappointing for me. I must have missed the good one at Yankee Stadium. There and at Shea were barely edible-unless you found the 'independent' food stand. Dodger Dogs are ok when they're piping hot-brutal otherwise. Dogs at Angels Stadium are the worst-unless you walk out to the bbq stand beyond center field. The best I've had was probably in Cincinnatti.

Real good Super Bowl-now let's play ball.

I think Charlie Brown must have been on roids. Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire both developed Charlie Brown heads . Coincidence? I don't think so.
