Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Friday, October 16, 2009My Morning in ExileQuery: Is George Sherrill really "the Pride of Memphis" as Chip Caray said last night? How many people in Memphis actually know him and what he does for a living and truly take pride in it? You certainly have family, some high school teammates and what, a few dozen other people? I bet the number of people from Memphis who truly take pride in George Sherrill is under 100. And none of those people mess with Wikipedia, because Sherrill isn't even mentioned here. Unless of course he was removed from the page after last night's performance . . .If I had to pick someone to be "The Pride of Memphis," I'd go with any of the following before George Sherrill: Howlin' Wolf; Al Green, Jerry Lawler, Elvis, and Missi Pyle, whom I've sort of had a crush on for a while. There are many others. Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 12:07pm Comments

I was interested in who actually was the pride of Memphis. This is what I got: Urban Dictionary: pride of memphis aka Elvis Posted 10/16 at 12:27 PM

I remember that, Aarcraft. It’s a euphemism I heard in boxing, where some old guy without a ton of experience “fights like a young boxer.” Usually it means he did time. Posted 10/16 at 12:49 PM

Considering he was born there and helped make Memphis famous laying the groove at Stax, I’ll vote for Booker T. Posted 10/16 at 12:53 PM

I should start crushing on Missi Pyle, too. We share a birthdate. Posted 10/16 at 01:00 PM

Five notable topics that I can make inane comments in one day! Well, I told you they were inane. Posted 10/16 at 01:14 PM

Missi Pyle’s husband is a grizzly bear specialist. No wonder you didn’t stand a chance, Craig. Posted 10/16 at 02:20 PM

Eh, you win some you lose some. I’m not going to go to the mat for Missi Pyle. As far as crushes go, she’s moderate at best. Posted 10/16 at 02:23 PM

By “caliber,” of course, you refer to both the size of his gun barrel and the high quality of his character… Two meanings… caliber… it’s a homonym… Forget it. Posted 10/16 at 06:46 PM

I notice Shyster tippy-toe-ing past the “Pride of Columbus” question. Man up, counsellor. Posted 10/17 at 04:22 PM

Pride of Columbus finalists: James Thurber I don’t count any of the athletes, because screw ‘em. Well, I would count Jesse Owens because stickin’ it to Hitler is about the coolest thing anyone has ever done, but Owens is really from Cleveland and just went to OSU for college.

For “Pride of Columbus” I’ll vote Jeff Smith, whom I met at a couple comic book shows several years ago. Really nice guy who autographed some books for me, personalized with a quick sketch of Fone Bone, too. I’m currently re-reading the books to my daughters. We all love the snowfall at the end of issue #1. Posted 10/19 at 11:53 AM

Shyster gets triple bonus points for either Rickenbacker or Thurber, but maybe a double triple for catching both; on the other hand, debits for missing Brandon (“What do you do when you’re Brandon?”) Heipp, a.k.a. Patriot. Dwight Yoakam is quite the stretch, until or unless Shyster admits that the former is “one of them optical illusions.” Posted 10/19 at 01:35 PM

Were you also aware that the 37 year old Ibanez is not really 37, because he started playing baseball in the majors late, and apparently did not age while in the minors?
