Another criminal omission. Terry Kath -- the player Jimi Hendrix thought was the best in the world at the time, and who fronted one of the most unique and popular bands of the '60s and '70s -- didn't make the list. You'd think Kath and Frampton would be on RS' radar? I do give them credit for including Tosin Abasi at 99.

I'm not surprised that RS didn't include certain players that only guitar players have heard of. I'm betting none of those editors and writers have ever heard of Guthrie Govan or Allan Holdsworth. But they did include Joan Jett. Yes, Joan f**king Jett, all the way up at #76, is ranked higher than Wes Montgomery and Larry Carlton. That tells us the real deal -- this is not a list of the most talented guitar players ever. That is not what RS does. Their interest in covering music is more about how culturally significant they think a band or player is. That said, do I still think this list is shit? Absolutely, and Rick Beato very efficiently outlined why. If RS' aim is to list the top 250 culturally significant guitarists of all time, the fact that they didn't include Peter Frampton -- who has both talent and cultural significance -- makes the list null and void all by itself.

The Rangers need to score their runs early, can't count on scoring a lot against the Dbacks bullpen, though they've done pretty well against some good bullpens so far in these playoffs.

Garcia pulled a page out of the Astros' playbook and embraced the role of the villain. And he didn't have to cheat to become the villain.

I just Liked a post containing a Creed song. Look well upon it, because you'll never see it again. Unless the Rangers win the World Series and you post it again.

It feels weird as an Islanders fan to say "Let's go Rangers," but this is baseball so LET'S GO RANGERS!!!

Is it me, or are these Fox announcers' praise for the Rangers a little begrudging? Seems like they're pulling for Houston. There are times where they sound like they don't know the Astros are down by 8 f**king runs.

It's amazing how much power he can generate with no stride or leg kick. Total old school swing. He just pivots and hits the ball on the screws.

As soon as I saw Altuve walking up to the plate in the top of the 9th, Astros down two runs with two guys on, I turned the TV off. That little shit hitting a 3-run homer was a foregone conclusion and I had no need to watch it happen.

Hopefully they go away again tonight. That team is annoying to watch.

https://www.mlb.com/news/2023-playoff-predictions-from-mlb-experts Playoff predictions from back on Oct 7th.

Some busted-ass brackets out there. How many people picked Philly and Arizona for the NLCS?

The Braves were like that back in the '90s and early '00s. Fourteen straight (!!!) division titles, five NL pennants, but only one Series win. I know the Yankees got in their way a lot back then, but that Atlanta team had one of the best pitching staffs in recent memory and they should have won more titles.

Yeah, their only recent Series win was in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, but they did have the best record in the league that year. They were the only team to finish with a winning percentage over .700 (43–17, .717).

I mean, whatever works, but...did it have to be Creed? Yes, Nickelback would have been worse, but not by much.

Impressive showing so far, they swept two good teams, they're scoring a shit-ton of runs, and their much maligned bullpen has been mostly effective. They're not playing a boring style of baseball.

Carter is solid. The kid is not scared of the big moments and he's all business. Impressive for a young rookie. As for the bullpen, hopefully the starters can get to at least the 6th innings, and try to limit Chapman's innings. He's at that point where he's ineffective when he pitches too often.

I've been watching the Rangers all year, they're a fun team. If their bullpen can hang in there they have a shot. Just have to find a way to beat the Houston Asshos should they get that far.

I'm not a drum guy, but it could be a fun experiment. Neil would have those electronic trigger pedals around his kit, and he'd have a tambourine programmed into one of them. You'd hear it in his solo and on Double Agent. You'd be doing the same thing but with an actual tambourine.

Stop this man before he sub-references again.

You want to know if you can mount it to a bass drum pedal? You mean a second pedal that isn't also beating a bass drum?

Nice performance of Natural Science that night.

Is there a video that shows him having the attack onstage? I don't want to see that. Di Meola was one of my later guitar heroes and I hope he recovers and gets back out there.
