yes and it's spured thread in sports, NAT & Political. It's kind of interesting to the posts in each section. They are quite different.

Here is a link from last month talking about Lidle flying planes. If anyone subscribes to NY Times online they can view it. I had read the article (hard copy) when it came out. They had mentioned something about Thurman Munson, but Lidle said something about how his plane is much safer. Little did we know....

This sounds like the kind of thing that would happen in a bad novel.

so, I'm listening to a radio report at the top of the hour (sports radio) and the guy gives the story, and ends with "lidle is perhaps best known for having crossed the picket line as a replacement player in ...."
wtf? is anyone possibly "best known" as such? he's in the majors 9 years. goes 82-72. plays on a host of teams. I can't say he's best known for anything other than being a guy who was a reasonably steady performer at a slightly above average level for 9 years. SO I wonder, who else I can think of who was a replacement player. lidle (didn't know til today), millar, damien miller (I think), rick reed (maybe), ron mahay (maybe). I found the label a bit crass given the circumstances. |
