Green Day Said Thanks For 30-year Career With Audience Participation-heavy Dallas Show

... they were accused of being sellouts?), which at this distance seems a little ridiculous. At heart, Armstrong and his band were always a bunch of goofball punks — neurotic to the bone, yes, but not out to change the world. Perhaps the weight of those expectations helped lead to the American Idiots of their later years, which always felt a little too grandiose for a band who thrived on keeping things simple. Still, while the band (and in particular Armstrong, who struggled for years with substance abuse) seems mostly at peace with itself these days, Armstrong had a lot on his mind Saturday night, breaking off frequently to speak about the need for unity and inclusiveness amidst today's political turmoil. "There's so much chaos, anger and hatred that you can see in the cellphone in your pocket," he said at one point early in the show. "We may come from different backgrounds, but we're all fucked up, and this is our opportunity to be fucked up together.". But Armstrong's actions were more conducive to ...

"Green was not afraid to make bold moves in pursuit of winning. He will forever hold a meaningful place in Chicago Cubs history.". The Mets also issued a statement that read, in part, "Dallas was pure and simple a 'true baseball man.'. Phillies manager Pete Mackanin managed in the Cubs system when Green was running that team's baseball operations. "I worked for him. It was no-nonsense, 'Here's what you're going to do,'" Mackanin said. "There were stories. One time he saw a scout with a set of golf clubs in his trunk, and he fired him. "He said, 'If we have a meeting and you don't open your mouth and don't give your opinion about a player or something, and I find out you're talking to your buddies about it outside, you're fired.' It was just black and white.". Mackanin said there was no doubt who was in command when Green was in Chicago. Justice on ...

Curtis Granderson Thrives As Cleanup Hitter For Mets

... his last spring start. The Mets lefthander got hit hard, allowing five runs on eight hits, over four innings. But Matz is confident he can clean up his command issues before the runs start to count in April. "I am glad i've got one more start, one or two, before this season comes," Matz said. "You try not to let this stuff bother you, but when you are getting hit around, it's never fun.". Steven Matz was hit hard on Wednesday. (Joe Robbins/Getty Images). Matz's fastball was rising in the strike zone and it seemed like opposing hitters were able to sit on it, a scout at the game said after Matz's start. Matz said there were some things he would work on in his bullpen session and take into his next Grapefruit League start on Monday. For the most part, the positive he took away was that his elbow, which he had to have surgically cleaned out this winter, felt fine. "I felt good," Matz said with a shrug. "You know, it happens.".

A New Palette For City And Colour

... tracks, and with electric guitar replacing most of City and Colour's acoustic-guitar base. Green says there have always been listeners who want him to return to the vocals-and-acoustic-only approach of his first record, and he understands that those songs are close to some people's hearts. However, the core of City and Colour hasn't changed even if the sound has, he says. "I think my answer to that has always been, 'If the song's good, it doesn't matter if there's drums or stuff,'" he says. "You can look past all that. It's still me singing it. As long as it's still my voice and writing at the center of it, just give it a shot, you know. "From what I understand, from having been on tour and playing the new songs, people seem to dig it. I think the band is really good, and when we play live, it's a totally different experience, as well. I think that hopefully allows people to see the full picture, once they see the band play, to understand why I'm so excited about having these guys playing with me.".

Dallas Green Dies At 82, First Manager To Lead Phillies To World Series Title

... law to that 1980 Phillies team after taking over for fired manager Danny Ozark. Ozark was let go in late August 1979. Green let the players know at the beginning of the next season things would be different. He had notable clashes with star players like Steve Carlton and Larry Bowa. The season culminated with Tug Mc Graw striking out Willie Wilson of the Kansas City Royals, bringing the Phillies their first world championship and breaking a long drought among Philly pro teams. The win earned Green the undying love of Philly fans. Green grew up in Delaware and was a pitcher who played for the Phillies, Mets and Senators. As a big league pitcher, he went just 20-22 in the 1960 s. It was in the dugout where the man with a commanding presence really found his voice — and a booming one, it was. He made his real mark on the Philllies franchise as a front office and ...

Dallas Green Is City And Colour

... to go and tour in the South to get away from the winter. I know those winters in Canada can be a bit rough. Let’s talk about Alexisonfire. That was the first group you were with originally. It’s kind of a post hardcore band. How did it get started. Well, we were just a bunch of kids growing up in southern Ontario and I think we were all just like-minded individuals and wanted to start a band. We didn’t really know what we wanted to sound like. We basically put a bunch of sounds that we liked in a hat, and shook it up to see what we would get out of it. Then people took to it early on in Canada and it allowed us to get out and tour and we used it as a vessel to see the world. It was unbelievable and it iss still surprising that we can still go and play where people are interested in it. Out of that came my solo project City and Colour and that’s what I’ve been doing ever since. I was reading earlier you didn’t want to name the band Dallas Greene as you were a bit uneasy about it. Why was that. I never really thought about a solo project first of all, so when it came time to put out this record of songs that were just me, I realized I wasn’t ...
