We'll see about Theo leaving....my buddy (big sports nut)...is hoping the 2 of them wind up together with the Cubs and lead them to the promised land ;<)

I on the other hand think (....well....I've loved Theo here, so I can't really picture this being his motivation, but....ahem...circumstances would indicate...)...the he pushed Francona out the door so maybe he'd be the only one to take the blame and everybody else could just move on.....still can't believe this...a month ago we were discussing, "best manager ever of the BoSox" and now here he are.....I could get worked up about it....this team was built to win 100 games...so they won 90....the slow start, plus no Bucholz plus no Youk plus underachievement by Lackey/Crawford.....there's 10 games right there....they should have just come back with the same team.....aye yi yai....

Hey Bill! .....still figuring out the lay of the land here, there's threads and groups and also "comment walls" and private messages...too much ;)

But I got my answer above (in your profile) to what was gonna be my next question: Are you in Boston now?...I guess so!

I live in Duxbury, work on Summer St betw South Sation and the Macys

Todd Thibaud periodically (....frequently, like once a month..)...plays with band FOR FREE at Toad in Porter Square.

I will have to meet you for one of those!

Yes, I am from NJ....Maplewood from 1960 to 1982

Went to Rutgers

Hoboken resident from 1983 to 1991

Moved to Boston/Duxbury in 1992

Cheer!

We will have to hoist one of these days soon.

 

PS, bad move dumping Francona, imho

Hi Bill...yes, that's me you're remembering.  I was on here before but somehow my account got deleted or some such.

well its a bit of a tall tale this, but the dealer who sold it to me swore that steve had to be bailed out of prison in hong kong [he hinted at drug possession]! and as a revenue raiser a whole bunch of band equipment had passed through the store [jacksons rare guitars in sydney] the rickenbacker 330 amongst it all. thats the story anyway! i would have bought it even without the dubious sales pitch however as i was able to get it pretty cheap ['cause i had the cash in hand from a car incident a few days earlier.]

a milky way bar! now thats rather funny...

its certainly a cool name, melbourne, but im biased as i was born there. i have seen the kilbeys on stage but dont know them personally. steves band the church loomed large in my formative years, and i ended up owning one of marty wilson-pipers guitars! [a 12 string rickenbacker]
