Speaking of which, Jason, I didn’t know Babe Ruth was now black, right handed, and wore number 35, nor did I know the 27 Yankees now wear green and yellow. Also, what is that thing on Lou Gehrig’s face, why was he batting 6th and why did he wear SWISHER 33 on the back of his jersey? Was this some sort of weird Turn The Clock Into LSD game?

And man, Pipgras OWNS us. How does he do that?

To be much more specific…

Since the inception of the Blue Angels in 1946, 23 pilots have been killed in airshows/training exercises. No regular joe, on a bike or otherwise, has been killed due to the actions of the Blue Angels.

They perform greater then 70 shows per year and train over 120 hour of flight prior to the airshow season.

If we are going to be big fans of predictive statistics on this website, I think we may be able to see that the Blue Angels are capable of repeatable skills. This repeatable skill can be interpeted as one that allows maximum safety for any person who may be under their flight plan.

To be clear…I’ve had 3 large martinis with dinner and I fly aircraft, upside down for fun, and regulary use my private pilot’s ticket.

Did it really take until comment #323 for someone to mention the title of today’s game thread?

I wonder where Gil Meche would have fit on the ‘62 Mets. Not the ace spot, anyway. Sort of makes one shudder.

Hey this internet thing is really cool, I just answered my own questions. Went to this thing called a “web site” or something like that, and found the TB probable starters. Cocoran (3.54 ERA), Seo (5.56) and Shields (5.28). So we’re looking at three starts by Broussard. And NO KAZMIR!!!!!!!

This just in from the Silver Lining Department: Isn’t Scott Kazmir still on the DL? He hasn’t started a game since July 23. Just our luck he’d be activated in time for our series. Anyone know his status? If we can avoid him, we can get back on track.

317: I don’t really care if people stereotype a little bit (they are often amusing), but do you think you could fit a few more into that post?

That’s fine, but here’s the problem: if I’m out biking and that soccer mom takes me out, that’s just me. Running the Blue Angels over a metro area puts far more people at risk.

The chances a biker gets hit may be larger than the chances that biker has a F-18 fall on him, sure. But if that F-18 crashes, how many people does it kill?

Anyway.

Way late but still needs to said.

I’d rather be under the flight path of the entirw Blue Angels squadron during high-G manuevers then pedaling down damn near any street in America with a single soccor mom driving an SUV, talking on her Razor while chugging her Starbuck’s triple grande non-fat, iced half-caf mocha.

By the way…I’ve raced bikes for years, average 6,000± a year and I’m too foolish to not ride.
