I remember former major leaguers Gus Gil and Benjy Gil. But their names were pronounced like the fish lung. If this guy has a son, his name should be Achilles. Do you really think that pronunciation to be true? I think they were heels, but that Americans were not ready to submit to the Hispanic pronunciations. I recall Jesus Alou and the other Jesus’s at the time being called Geezus not today’s acceptable Hey-Zeus. A couple years ago I heard Brooks Robinson in a booth guest appearance still calling players named Jesus, Geezus… poor old boy from Arkansas still not ready for change… Now I also wonder if Achilles will be pronounced A-Ki- Yas… So you believe Spanish came before Ancient Greek?  |

Was it Dr. Johnson who said youth is wasted on the young? Do you recall a satellite sports show in the 1980s that had Rick Telander and three older sportswriters - all from the Chicago area I believe? They all called Rick Telander “Young Telander” though he was probably late thirties. Kaybli is our Young Telander of HeAmyHa. Young Kaybli.  , I think maize and anthony and sierch are all younger than me. We may require a demographic study. Someone contact Noetsi. |

You aren't close to being old. But it does catch up with you unbelievably quickly. Was it Dr. Johnson who said youth is wasted on the young? Do you recall a satellite sports show in the 1980s that had Rick Telander and three older sportswriters - all from the Chicago area I believe? They all called Rick Telander “Young Telander” though he was probably late thirties. Kaybli is our Young Telander of HeAmyHa. Young Kaybli. I remember that show. The other guys chomped on cigars and wore fedoras. Like from "Guys and Dolls " Bill Jauss I think was one of them. They had that Irv Kupcinet old Chicago look. Studs Lonigan. I don't know if that's one of Dr. Johnson's quips. I just finished re-reading Boswell for the first time in years and don't recall that one. Most of his quotes begin with "Sir " But I miss a lot of things. |

Gallo a three true outcome guy, but one of those outcomes seems really dominant. Oh, he'll get his walk this game and the analytics guys will gush over how valuable that is. |
