Baseball, Music, and Real Life: May 2005
http://stuartshea.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Baseball, Music, and Real Life. Sorry, We're Closed. Tuesday, May 31, 2005. I've been asked to provide a bit of analysis on the Cubs' recent trade of righthanded reliever LaTroy Hawkins. Chicago sent the 32-year-old Hawkins to the San Francisco Giants on Saturday in exchange for two 23-year-old righthanded pitchers, Jerome Williams and David Aardsma. Those are the facts. But what do they all mean? Closers, just aren't that dominating. Much was made of Hawkins' lousy record in one-run games; in fact, ...

Baseball, Music, and Real Life. Sorry, We're Closed. Saturday, September 24, 2005. 60s Museum Event- the Playlist. I was lucky enough to serve as a DJ tonight at the 60s Museum Benefit at Chicago's Kinetic Playground club. The night featured sets by the New Invaders (with a guest appearance by Jimy Sohns, lead singer of Chicago's 60s punks The Shadows of Knight) and by the headliner, Country Joe McDonald (with three of the original four Fish backing him)! Before the New Invaders, I played the following:.

Baseball, Music, and Real Life. Sorry, We're Closed. Thursday, March 31, 2005. For an April fool's joke. Frank Kras informed me that in yesterday's Royals/Mariners game, the save was notched by.nah, can't tell you. It's just too good. I mean, are you kidding? It must be Jim! Can't believe he's still pitching. Posted by Stuart Shea at 12:26 PM. Friday, March 25, 2005. Crappy legal advice) that he could fix all his problems by simply telling the world, "I did not use steroids.". It's bad enough, of course,...

Baseball, Music, and Real Life: August 2005
http://stuartshea.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Baseball, Music, and Real Life. Sorry, We're Closed. Wednesday, August 31, 2005. The Most Inappropriate Thing I've Heard All Year. Dodgers TV announcer Charley Steiner, formerly of ESPN, was for some reason chosen to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" today at Wrigley Field. (Maybe whatever c-list 'celebrity' the Cubs had booked canceled, and they couldn't get one of WGN's news team to fill in at short notice.). Follow me to freedom! Posted by Stuart Shea at 1:50 PM. Saturday, August 27, 2005. But Frank ...

Baseball, Music, and Real Life: October 2005

Baseball, Music, and Real Life. Sorry, We're Closed. Monday, October 31, 2005. Well, now that George Bush has nominated Alito to the Supreme Court, the righties are all atwitter. Yes, someone else in their idea of the "mainstream" will get onto the court. Not only had Miers never even been a judge, she showed little to no interest in constitutional law in her less-than-impressive round of interviews with U.S. senators. Just because someone with more extreme views MIGHT be coming down the pike is not a re...

Baseball, Music, and Real Life. Sorry, We're Closed. Thursday, June 30, 2005. Words that make me laugh. Posted by Stuart Shea at 11:17 PM. Micky Dolenz, Full-On. By request, here's my entire recent interview with Micky Dolenz, which the Tribune published a section of last week. With more than 40 years of showbiz experience, do you have guiding principles in this business? Former Monkee] Peter Tork has called you an intuitive genius; you do successful work in every genre you touch. In the old days it didn...

Baseball, Music, and Real Life. Sorry, We're Closed. Tuesday, February 22, 2005. A Writer on Steroids. Tony LaRussa is Angry. He is angry at his former star, manchild outfielder Jose Canseco, who not only has admitted in his new book that he shot steroids while with the Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers, but also that he injected other players including Mark McGwire, who LaRussa later managed in St. Louis. Why is LaRussa angry? If he is, that’s damning evidence that LaRussa either willingly had his hea...

Baseball, Music, and Real Life. Sorry, We're Closed. Wednesday, July 27, 2005. Guest Blogger: Tom Gaines (ballparks, part 2). A few weeks ago, Tom kindly posted to me his list of five favorite baseball stadia in the majors. (You'll find it in the July archives.) Here are his five worst big-league ballparks. Thanks, Tom!

Baseball, Music, and Real Life. Sorry, We're Closed. Monday, January 31, 2005. Now that Sammy Sosa's gone, it's nice to see the sportswriters- many of whom skip in and out of covering baseball whenever it suits them- digging in. Takes a lot of guts to rip someone when you'll never have to see them again. Unnecessary disclaimer: I have some friends who are sportswriters. They probably wouldn't like this post very much.).
