  1. Well, I think your right on a couple of counts Twinky. When I played baseball in school I got hit by a beanball that knocked me out for 2 seconds. Batters who try to crowd the plate (the pitchers strike zone) can get brushed back off the plate to keep the batter back. Batters do this, because it distracts the pitcher. As far as being legal, to hit a batter intentionally in the head (or anywhere for that matter) it is against the rules. Umpires (they are guys with facemasks and are suited up like a catcher) can eject a pitcher out of the game if they determine that the pitcher deliberately hit the batter. Intentionally hitting a batter is practised in baseball whether it is the choice of the pitcher, or by the choice of the coach. It is a black eye for the game of baseball. I wouldn't go as far as calling them thugs because baseball is all about strategy and it is a thinking game, which makes it so popular with kids playing baseball from grade school to college, and for that matter throughout the world. If for some reason say, some pitcher feels the need to hit the batter (maybe he made an obscene gesture about his wife), then he may get hit by a beanball.
  2. Listen closely WordWolf. The words you are hearing in your head are saying "heartbreaker with your forty four, heartbreaker I wanna tear your world apart", How about your up Wolfy! Your turn. Or anyone! Thanks for playing.
  3. Wow I thought I would follow up WordWolfs ~Who~ song with some ~Rolling Stones~ but.......???? Now.....??? :blush:/>
  4. Sounds like Arthur. the first one from 81.
  5. That wasn't actually the game show I'm looking for. Old game show, perhaps he was one of the first hosts. Katherine Heigl's movie has been on cable for a couple of years. [i'll drop a hint:] She plays a producer for a morning TV show that's losing ratings, so they bring in Gerard Butler to join her.
  6. Ok. Gerard Depardieu Green Card Andie McDowell
  7. Your right WordWolf, that's quite a cast. May I be allowed to borrow one of them to play this game?
  8. "Who Are You"? (not a question) The police in New York City They chased a boy right through the park
  9. I'm sure glad I didn't leave another clue. Your right there is a slight variation in the lyrics George,
  10. In the interest of the game then George I'll let you have it. Dylan calls it Rainy Day Woman #12 & 35. Not sure why. Your up.
  11. No George. It's one of Bob Dylan's songs that he titled something totally different than what the lyrics to the song are about. No help. Sorry.
  12. Katherine Heigl can't stand Gerard Butler and Bob Barker was the host.
  13. GREAT POST Tom. Looking forward to the second coming of Christ!
  14. Wrong album George. I looked it up. I've never heard of it? But play on!!!!
  15. Legally Blonde Reese Witherspoon Walk The LIne
  16. OK. So still no clue, I better move on. ~Bob Seger~ Still the same Let me spin the wheel again and find: Oh yeah!!! Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good
  17. I got it. Funny Girl with the dragon tattoo. Thanks for spoon feeding me George. Very good clue too!
  18. The name Fanny Brice sounds so familiar, ( at first, thought it was the character in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, it turns out she was Fanny Eubanks) but its not enough to ring the bell. (That might have been Sonny Listons problem, he never heard the bell..
  19. Did this tune get its share of radio time WordWolf? I Don't recognize it.
  20. Maybe this will help dig it up Ham. Dig It ~The Beatles~
