Anyone see the magazine 108?

by MetsSuck on Jan 10, 2007 4:26 PM CST

This is my first diary, so please be gentle!

I was wondering if any of you have seen the new baseball magazine titled 108. It is published quarterly and the first issue came out in the summer of 2006. The first issue has articles about Larry Hisle helping children, Josh Gibson Jr. and his father Josh Sr. and, Mickey Cochrane and how he helped Detroit win a title.

There are columns by Tommy Lasorda, Fay Vincent, Jay Johnstone, and Mike Veeck among others. There is also some short fiction that I have not gotten to yet. There is even an article about "The leadership secrets of Casey Stengel" that promises to be interesting.

I really enjoy learning about baseball "back in the day" and there is a lot of that in this magazine.

If this has already been discussed previously, I apologize.

You're fine so far...

...though you probably won't get very far with that screenname on the Mets's board.

PINIELLA!

Wouldn't be caught dead on the Mets board...

except to maybe cause some trouble.

Not that I would ever cause trouble (adjusting halo)!

Football and basketball are just things to do between baseball seasons.

that and since

we have no OBD for today, your diary will probably simply house more madness

PROGS, A SWORD FIGHT I SAY TO YOU, EN GARDE!

News to me

I hadn't heard about 108. Thanks for passing along word of it! Here's the Web site, for anyone interested.

I didn't have the ball, bitch!

DEJESUS!!!

Tomas, I like you, but...

... you are quick to accuse without evidence. I see no evidence of what you say here; if you have it, let's hear it.

I don't think it's out of line to remind you that you were also one of the first people to accuse me of being a "shill" for Tribco, or allowing them to "float trial balloons" through me, also without evidence, neither of which is true.

Please don't do this any more unless you have proof. Thank you.

i never called you

a shill, but i said, and sometimes still feel, like you act like you have a conflict of interest. that's all i ever said. stop hyperventilating and stop accusing me of saying things i never said.

DEJESUS!!!

You were laboring...

.... and apparently still are, under the misconception that because I wrote three articles for Vine Line, for which I was paid the lordly sum of $180, that I was under some sort of thrall of the marketing department, which is utter BS.

There's no conflict of interest and never was. No one ever told me what to write, and if they had, I'd have laughed in their faces.

In any case, you are 100% wrong in your accusation in this diary. Please be more careful, that's all I ask.

$$ 180?

you made more than Muskat deserves to make over a season, and I'm sure she writes more than 3 articles for mlb.com

I have no affiliation with this magazine...

other than being a subscriber. I just thought it would be nice to pass the information along.

Thought that was why we were here.

It is.

I have found a lot of information from this site that I otherwise wouldn't have.

http://www.pandora.com for one.

Pandora is great.

I listen to it all the time.

100% credit to flyball

She posted that in an OBD last week sometime. Maybe the week before. Her suggestion (and I agree): get a station, and only "agree" with songs that are like it. If you want something different, creat a new station.

Then you can do the mix, and pick the different types of stations you want.

I have such stations as East Coast Raps, Dirty South and Angry Girl Rock. I love it.
