An interesting matchup in the 1986 NLCS, because it sort of looked like a miss-match on paper. The Mets clearly looked like the best all around team in MLB in 1986 and dominated the National League. One of the best teams since divisional play started in MLB in 1969. They had great pitching, starting and the bullpen. A very good defense and very good, deep and balanced lineup offensively, as well as a very good bench. They had both speed and power in their lineup and Davey Johnson was their manager. All of these qualities for one team tend to equal MLB World Series champion.

The 1986 Astros sort of reminds me of the 1969 Mets. Very good pitching, very good defense and a lineup that only seemed to produce enough hits and runs for the team to win. This would’ve been a miss-match had the Astros not of gotten the pitching and defense that they did in this series. And they got a lot of timely hitting Kevin Bass in this series who had a career year and didn’t do much pre-86 or after 86. Which sounds like several New York Mets of 1969. The Astros did enough in 86 to make this series one of the best NLCS’s of all-time.

1981 was an interesting season for Major League Baseball to say the least. It was a strike shorten season and the genius’ at MLB decided to do a minor league play. Which was to have the division leaders of the first and second halves of the season be the playoff teams of each league. Instead of the division winners being the teams with the best overall records in each league for the entire season. Which meant the Cincinnati Reds even though they had the best overall record in the NL West in 1981, didn’t win that division. Because the Los Angeles Dodgers had a better record in the second half of the season. This was the first four game playoff series in MLB because of the strike shortened season. The Cubs were the Cubs in 1981, finishing in last place. They parked themselves there early on that season and never left. The Phillies were again very good and trying to defend their 1980 World Series Championship.

MSNBC: ‘Will You kill For Me?’

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Erik Schneider

The whole idea of a race war where Caucasian-Americans would go to war with African-Americans. To see who would rule America and perhaps the rest of the world. Sounds crazy today forty-five years later after the Manson Crime Family was put together. But back then in the mid and late 1960s with the racial tensions in the country it didn’t seem that far-fetched.

MSNBC: Manson Murders: 38 Years Ago

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Erik Schneider

Charlie Manson never had the character and skills that people need to do well on the outside and never have to go to prison. Because they are able to make a solid honest living and understand the difference between right and wrong. And as a result a lot of people lost their lives because of Charlie Manson and his crime family.

America’s Chain Gang: Fifty-Six Minute Documentary

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Erik Schneider

Chain gangs look like cruel and unusual punishment to me. And I’m all in favor of putting inmates to work so they earn their keep literally so taxpayers no longer have to pay for that. Because inmates earn everything they receive in prison. But it has to be done in a way that is productive for everyone society and inmates that doesn’t make inmates worst in prison. Or doesn’t prepare them to succeed on the outside.

National Geographic: Prison Economy

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Erik Schneider

Inmates doing what they can to survive and to a certain extent at least learning how to make money. Legitimately through trading even if it is illegal in prison. So they can live as comfortably as possible while in prison. And by trading they are learning a skill that will legitimately when they are on the outside.

National Geographic: Prison Nation

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Erik Schneider

Prisons can be a hell hole especially when you have inmates that come from rival gangs. And you house them together rather than trying to separate them and make sure you are working with. Them so they use their time productively and not looking to continue their criminal and gang careers while in prison. And when you don’t do these things, prison becomes nothing more than being about survival. Rather than a place where inmates can use their time productively and prepare themselves for life on the outside.

Retro Jeans Network: ‘1980s Jordache Denim Jeans For Women Commercial’

JORDACHE JEANS - RETRO

“JORDACHE JEANS – RETRO”

From Retro Jeans Network

The music might sound corny thirty-years later, but those Jordache denims on that woman certainly do not look corny. If anything those designer jeans and that type of designer denim is even bigger today.

I’ll never understand why women’s denim jeans went from dark wash designer denims from the late 1970s all the way to 1985 or so, to acid wash denims from the late 1980s and even into the early 1990s. And then back to the designer denims of the late 1990s that we are still going through today with the jeans in boots look coming back into style ten-years ago, that is still with us especially in cold weather.

The designer denims of this era and now with the low-rise skinny denim look are perfect for sexy women. Especially the dark wash jeans, because of how they highlight women’s legs and butts. Without the woman having to show skin when she sits down or stands up.

CBS Sports: NBA 1975-NBA Finals-Game 3-Washington Wizards @ San Francisco Warriors: First Half

The Bullets down 0-2 in this series after losing game one at home and game two on the road. Don’t know why the NBA scheduled the NBA Finals that way back then going home and home instead of the first two games at one arena and the next two at the other team’s arena, but that is a different story. The Bullets still in San Francisco trying to avoid being down 0-3 in this series, a series that they were supposed to win going in and were a heavy favorite. And yes the Warriors played very well in this series. But the Bullets probably didn’t take them seriously enough and had a big let down.

I think the Bullets were also out coached in this series. Al Attles did a great job in this series and always made the right moves and knew from the first game how his team needed to play to beat the Bullets. K.C. Jones for the Bullets never figured out the Warriors and exactly what they were doing and how to attack them. And they were never really able to get their big man power forward Elvin Hays involved and dominating a smaller team that the Warriors had. And not having Elvin at his best cost the Bullets in this series.

WBAL-TV: Video: Horseshoe Casino Going up Quickly in Baltimore

The Baltimore casino will be great for Baltimore because of all the new money, people and activity that it will bring into the city to pay for infrastructure, schools, hospitals, law enforcement. That the city needs to continue to rebound and be that great big city that it is that is not overrun by crime and poverty. And having a casino near Ravens Stadium and Oriole Park will keep people in the city after and before ballgames as well.

The economic revenue generated by the Horseshoe Casino, is money that doesn’t need to be raised in taxes in Baltimore or in the State of Maryland to pay for those schools, roads and hospitals that Baltimore needs to be a great functioning big city. That they want to be and that Marylanders want Maryland to be as our only official big city in the Free State of Maryland. Because of the tax revenue that would be generated by the Horseshoe.
