1. Bruce Markusen Posted: January 03, 2012 at 07:38 PM (#4028231)I'm wondering who Wilka is related to/knows.
Curious to see whether it was the people, or the "organization," that made the difference.
Google shows that Wilka was also a cheerleader at Harvard.
So of course I shot him my CV.
Douglas Bader. As a Wing Commander, he was entitled to put his initials on his Spitfire instead of the usual squadron code.
Derek Bell. They're considering a plan called 'Operation Shutdown II'
I don't think Chris Stamey is doing much these days.
Still doing a lot of producing and putting out the occasional album. Did one with Yo La Tengo backing him a few years back.
"at-least defensible Allman Brothers"?
Well the "debate" started off as "greatest rock'n'roll song ever", the greatest "rock'n'roll" band with concomitant debates about whether a given group was sufficiently "rock'n'roll". The ABs run the risk of not being "rock'n'roll" but are at least defensible given the wide range of names tossed up in the thread.
The amateur scouting coordinator position is distinctly different from the scouting director position in the organization. I don't know if Law is still in the running for a job in the Astros' organization, but these hirings don't seem to bear on that question.
Or Dead Boys. I've had their two studio LPs since they were new, but I'm not even gonna bother applying, because no doubt Repoz could trump me by recounting how he not only saw them live dozens of times but also slept with everyone in the band. At the same time.
Double post is 'dp' not 'db'.
And by CV I assume you mean Caged Vole, but I'm not sure how blasting the poor bugger with a firearm will impress Luhnow.
Sometime back in the seventies I went to a Doobie Brothers concert that had to be the loudest show (out of hundreds) that I ever attended. There was so much sound being driven through the speakers that smoke was being blown back from the stage. I could not hear properly for two or three days after the show. Ah the days of being young and stupid, I have the tinnitus to prove it.
And God help the Astros if they're looking for someone with DP experience.
Given their owner and budget, someone with DP experience is probably EXACTLY what the Astros need.
Clank Lee has grounded into 85 of them during his Astros career, so if they want to make an internal hire...
As has been noted before, someone with serious DB chops is likely to earn far more working in industry than he is working for a baseball team; you pretty much have to *really* like baseball to go that route.
