You could argue that St. Louis Cardinal pitcher Joe Kelly had the most important hit of the NLCS and was the true MVP when he plunked Hanley Ramirez and broke his rib in Game One. Ramirez and the Dodgers offense was never the same after that. I wasn't surprised St. Louis won last night...Wacha has been great all thru these playoffs and Lackey can be lax sometimes. I still think this WS goes six or seven games. If it does go seven, it will be on October 31. Imagine a Game 7 at Fenway on Halloween!!!

Some photos of the film scores part of the concert. I was thinking TypeO would fit in well with this band. Suspiria Dawn of the Dead/Zombi Encore/Fine

Wednesday October 23, 2013. Went back for another night of Goblin, this time taking my godson, who is a big horror film fan. This was the third and final night of Goblin's Los Angeles tour-stop. Next stop is Austin tonight and Sunday. The night went like this: Cocktail reception and meet-and-greet from 6 to 8pm...concert from 8:25 to 10:10 and then after a small intermission, the film would screen around 10:30 or so. The Dario Argento films shown were... Monday 10.21: Suspiria Tuesday 10.22: Deep Red Wednesday 10.23: Tenebrae The first hour of the concert would be Goblin tracks from their own albums and EPs. Then they performed music from "Dawn of the Dead"/"Zombi", "Tenebre", "Suspiria", "Deep Red", and "Phenomena", while running scenes from each film on the giant screen behind them. After many different permutations of the band due to internal strife, this is as close to the original Goblin as you're going to get. Founding members Massimo Morante (guitars), Claudio Simonetti (keyboards), and Maurizio Guarini (keyboards), augmented with Bruno Previtali (bass) and Titta Tani (drums). We had much better seats Wednesday night...front row!...than I had Tuesday.

^^^ What...were you waiting to see what I would pick before getting your picks in, jabe?

They gotta win some time, right?

Week 8 picks in pink: Carolina at Tampa Bay Dallas at Detroit Cleveland at Kansas City Miami at New England Buffalo at New Orleans NY Giants at Philadelphia San Francisco at Jacksonville NY Jets at Cincinnati Pittsburgh at Oakland Washington at Denver Atlanta at Arizona Green Bay at Minnesota Seattle at St. Louis

Now it's her birthday...Happy birthday to redhairedqueen22! Who is now 24. Hope you're rocking all night long and partying every day.

redrum should be happy now that the BART strike is over...no more dealing with this madness:

Aren't all of their albums "more than a decade in the making"? Boston has been around since, what, 1976, and they have four albums to their credit? That's slower than 'Zeppelin time'.

Lobster roll. So so so very good.

You are? That's great news, Wolfman, but for some reason Goblin don't list any dates after Austin on their website...here is the 2013 US Tour dates listed on the site: October 1 The Loft Atlanta, GA USA October 3 Orange Peel Asheville, NC USA October 4 SOLD OUT Ottobar Baltimore, MD USA October 5 SOLD OUT Underground Arts Philadelphia, PA USA October 6 SOLD OUT Music Hall Of Williamsburg New York/Brooklyn, NY USA October 7 Webster Hall New York, NY USA October 9 SOLD OUT The Sinclair Boston/Cambridge, MA USA October 10 Le National Montreal, QC CANADA October 11 Opera House Toronto, ON CANADA October 12 Crofoot Ballroom Detroit/Pontiac, MI USA October 13 Metro Chicago, IL USA October 15 Gothic Theatre Denver, CO USA October 17 The Rickshaw Theatre Vancouver, BC CANADA October 18 Neumos Seattle, WA USA October 19 SOLD OUT Hawthorne Theater Portland, OR USA October 20 Warfield San Francisco, CA USA October 21 SOLD OUT Egyptian Theater L.A./Hollywood, CA USA October 22 SOLD OUT Egyptian Theater L.A./Hollywood, CA USA October 23 SOLD OUT Egyptian Theater L.A./Hollywood, CA USA October 25 Housecore Horror Film Festival Austin TX USA October 27 Housecore Horror Film Festival Austin TX USA

Agreed. If you are a Led Zeppelin fan, you should already have this on DVD and CD.

VS. Boston wins.

Sorry, Virginia, for these very belated Happy Birthday greetings. I hope you had a marvelous day and best wishes for the coming year. Ta. Cheers.

More Goblin...October 22, 2013 at the American Cinematheque's Egyptian Theatre during the Beyond Fest.

Last night I finally got to see GOBLIN in concert! If you are scratching your head and asking yourself, "Who or what is Goblin?", then you have sadly been deprived of sufficient exposure to the weird and wacky world of 1970s Italian horror cinema...or Giallo as it is called. Goblin is the Italian prog rock band responsible for the magnum opuses that form the scores of many films of the Giallo genre, including several Dario Argento classics: "Deep Red", "Tenebrae", and "Suspiria". They also did the score for George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead". The original 1970s one. "Once in a lifetime event" is a phrase that gets overused too often. I mean, it's great to see the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin and all. I feel blessed and lucky to have been able to witness such concerts. But Led Zeppelin toured the U.S. eleven times, and the Rolling Stones have around the same number of U.S. tours under their belt. The odds were pretty much in my favour that I was going to get a chance to see them. Even a supposed recluse like Brian Wilson, I have seen five or six times since his career rebirth after hooking up with the Wondermints in 2000. But Goblin's FIRST-EVER tour of North America is truly a once-in-a-lifetime occasion. People have been waiting nearly 40 years for this opportunity. As such, when these shows were announced it sold out lickety-split. In fact, demand was such for the L.A. show, they added two additional nights to the originally scheduled one, and also added extra dates to the North American tour. All October they have been performing in Philadelphia, New York, Montreal, Toronto, Boston, Detroit, Denver, Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, and many other cities across the land. After Los Angeles, they finish up the tour in Austin, TX. It's not October...it's GOBtober. Playing music from a plethora of their beloved scores, as well as their albums, Goblin created magic on the Egyptian stage last night. Tonight is the third and final night of the Los Angeles stand. Thanks to my pals Grant and David at American Cinematheque for hooking me up...and to the people at Beyond Fest for making this event happen. Some photos from last night... The venue...The Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. Goblin signing stuff before the show.

In support of planted, KB, and jb126...GO RED SOX!!! BOSTON STRONG.

None of us really knows anything...we're all making picks by the seat of our pants, hehe. Welcome aboard, pottedplant, to our jolly little gang of football nuts. Always a pleasure to have one of the fairer sex join us...it'll give jb126 and ebk and some of the other sporting women some company. Good luck.

You're going to have a great time, I guarantee it...Robert's current band/tour is one of his best ever of the post-Zeppelin years. You know, it wasn't really that loud. Certainly nowhere near as loud as My Bloody Valentine or the Black Angels, to name two recent concerts that had my teeth rattling. It's a mystery to me, too, STZ. Whatever it was must have either taken place in a PM to someone or with the Mods, or the evidence has been erased. Because I cannot see anything in the public record that would suggest why or how he got banned. From Led Derigible's post, it appears he was banned sometime Sunday. There are all sorts of posts from Wes from early Sunday morning, none of them flammatory. The only clue is a post from Walter asking what happened to a post from Wes that supposedly was full of vulgarity and foul-language. I didn't see it and whatever Wes posted is gone now. Of course, Wes came back Sunday as maureenwilson, but he made it so obvious that it was him, it was almost like he wanted to be discovered. For the record, contrary to some people's belief, I didn't have a problem with Mr. Garlic. We had some fun with each other. I teased him about some of his posts, but it was good-natured ribbing, not meant in a mean-spirited way...and I hope he took it in that way. He was a good sport...at least he was to me.

Having just experienced one of the largest fires in its history, California sends its love and well wishes for the safety and well-being of the men and women fighting the blaze in Australia and anyone in harm's way.

Are you talking about a real bet with a bookie using real money? Or just here on the Sportsbook thread? PM me.

You and me both. Standing at 7-6 at the moment.

Andy Reid lives to torment me. First and goal and the Chiefs can't score a freaking point. That's it for me. I'm out. That's why I don't bet real money so much. Las Vegas is rich for a reason.
