[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]BOSTON -- Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, the last player to hit for the Triple Crown, was hospitalized for tests Tuesday after experiencing chest pains. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/cbss...st=no;sz=300x250;tile=15;ord=798021219178320?The Boston Red Sox confirmed the 68-year-old Yastrzemski was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital and was undergoing evaluation and testing. The team said no further information was immediately available on its longtime great. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Asked whether it was serious, Yastrzemski spokesman Dick Gordon said: "Any time you are in the hospital, it's got to be pretty serious." [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]The popular Yaz was an 18-time All-Star and spent his entire career in Boston, taking over left field for Ted Williams in 1961 and playing through 1983. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]In 1967, Yastrzemski helped revitalize the flagging franchise during the "Impossible Dream" season. And all over New England that summer, kids tried to imitate his unique lefty batting stance, with the bat held high over his head. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]With calls of "Yaz" echoing around Fenway Park, he won the Triple Crown that year, hitting .326 with 44 home runs and 121 RBI. Behind the AL MVP, the Red Sox won their first pennant since 1946, but lost the World Series in Game 7 to St. Louis. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Yastrzemski was elected to the Hall on the first ballot in 1989. He has often shied away from celebrity and rarely made public appearances, but drew a big ovation when he threw out the first ball before Game 1 of last year's World Series. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Yaz finished with 452 career home runs and 1,844 RBI. He had 3,419 lifetime hits and batted .285. He also won seven Gold Gloves, expertly playing the caroms off the Green Monster. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Yastrzemski, who will turn 69 on Friday, is one of five former Red Sox players to have his number retired by the team. His No. 8 is painted at Fenway, along with those of Williams, Carlton Fisk, Bobby Doerr and Joe Cronin. [/FONT]

...The popular Yaz...

...was not all that popular during his career. He had a real dish rag personality. He rarely bothered to learn the names of rookies, often addressing them, "Hey you". A lot of people thought he got the managers fired and was responsible for both Conigliaros being traded.

I'm pretty sure Yaz made the last out of the 1967 World Series, the 1968 all-star game, the 1968 regular season, the 1975 World Series and the 1978 one game playoff.

Yaz and Tony Conigliaro hit back-to-back homers in 1964, giving them the record for the longest combined last names (21 letters) of two players who hit back-to-back homers until Mark Grudzielanek and light hitting shortstop teammate Andy Stankiewicz (23 letters), who only hit one home run for the entire season, broke that record playing for the Expos in 1997. It is widely misreported on the internet that Yaz and Conig's record was not broken until 1998, when Juan Encarnacion and Frank Catalanotto (22 letters) went back-to-back for Detroit.

I want to thank God for giving me such a great body.
- Carl Yastrzemski, being interviewed after Willie Randolph let his feeble groundball go past him so that the official scorer could designate it to be his 3,000th base hit, in his likely final Fenway Park at-bat before the Red Sox embarked on a long road trip.

According to The Boston Globe, Yaz will undergo heart bypass surgery to fix a blockage in one of his main arteries.

BOSTON -- Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, the last player to hit for the Triple Crown, was resting comfortably Tuesday night after having triple bypass heart surgery.
Yastrzemski, who turns 69 on Friday, had the operation at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he underwent tests after experiencing chest pains in the morning, said his spokesman, Dick Gordon.
"He just got out of surgery, had his triple bypass and is resting comfortably," Gordon said at about 8:30 p.m. "The operation was a success."

Yeah, he was known to be a nasty old coot. I heard stories about his "abbrasive attitude" from a old family friend that played with from '66 to '69, Jose Tartabull.
But I do wish him a speedy recovery.

Best wishes on a speedy recovery Yaz. Godspeed.

I noticed the other day that Frank Catalanotto and Jarrod Saltalamacchia were back-to-back in the Rangers lineup. They would certainly break the record if they hit back-to-back homers.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
