Facing Nolan

[ultimate7]

Saw this in the theater tonight.  Worth watching for anyone here.  Not a great editing job, maybe a bit long, but features tons of RBIers and of course Mr. Ryan.

Won't hit a theater up bit wil for sure watch once it streams. Good stuff.

Looks interesting.  Thanks for the heads up, Ult.

I no-hit Stu with Nolan Ryan about a month ago and he also pitched a complete game shutout last Saturday.

Nolan is the reason that I have a winning lifetime record in RBI despite almost always being Houston.  He rules

I wouldn't recommend seeing it in a theater, it seems like sound was not edited for a theater experience.  Background music was too loud during a few interviews, couldn't hear the talking.

just watched it on netflix, i believe, and was going to post about it here.

lots of RBIers in the interviews. Terry Puhl was very excited about making a catch

Ooh sweet, if it's on Netflix I'll hopefully give it a whirl shortly. 

TEMPO - if you bring your computer over we could watch then.

Are you going to be around next Sunday?  I have...an idea.  I have plans with some friends from college Saturday night in Arlington Heights.  If you're going to be around, maybe I could bring Stella up with me and crash at your place Saturday, then Sunday take care of the computer, watch Nolan, and get some Bell

I'm certainly down with that, was thinking of going to Zorb's to watch the Bears game Sunday but they suck and would rather do that.  And if you come Saturday we could possibly get it all done and still be able to head there.  Either way works for me...

[TempoGL]

I'm still not sure of the timeline on Saturday since all of these guys have small kids and thus making any sort of plans with them is incredibly arcane.  Will update at the earliest.

[Gantry]

No problem, drop me a deuce text when you figure it out.  Keeping my plans light so any changes to the schedule are no biggie.

I thought it was quite good, especially compared to the Dinosaur Jr doc I watched the day before which was abysmal.

They were low on the list for me from Our Band Could Be Your Life.

Tempo and I just watched it, definitely enjoyable but could have had some better editing and those sportswriter guys adding nothing to it.  Should have stuck just to the ballplayers, but for sure worth the watch.

Update: in a rare matchup that wasn't Houston/St Louis, Nolan Ryan gave up 1 ER in 8 IP as Houston downed the NL All-Stars this evening, 3-1.  Stu went home but I am sure he's crying himself to sleep.
