Consecutive balls and walks in World Series game
In the eighth inning tonight, one pitcher threw 11 consecutive balls. Combined, there were four consecutive walks. What are these records for a world series game? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 02:57, 29 October 2010 (UTC)


 * The four consecutive walks was a record, according to the Fox commentators (if I heard correctly). That would probably mean the 11 balls were a record too. Adam Bishop (talk) 14:08, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, you can't make that assumption. Four consecutive walks could have many strikes mixed in there. The 11 consecutive balls could be spread across 3 different hitters, with only 2 of them in a row walking and the other not walking.

ed robertson what does he sound like
Can someone name most or all of the barenaked ladies that Ed Robertson is the main singer in? I think he's the guy with a Wayne Knight like voice. 204.112.104.172 (talk) 12:50, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you read our article on Barenaked Ladies? 10draftsdeep (talk) 13:15, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The article doesn't say who sings every song, but we do have articles about their albums too. Like the Beatles, generally the writer of the songs sings them, although not always (and often both he and Steven Page are singing). I don't think either of them sound like Wayne Knight, but between Ed and Steven, Ed is less-well-trained singer, if that helps. Adam Bishop (talk) 14:15, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Check out One Week (song). That article has good information of who handles the vocals in the various parts. If you have heard the song, you'll get a good idea of how his voice sounds. 10draftsdeep (talk) 15:23, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure if it's accessible in your location, but the "Talk to the Hand" concert is available on Hulu (here), and you can see (and hear) Ed and Steve perform most of their famous songs. The Ed Robertson page has a photo if you're unsure what he looks like. -- 174.31.221.70 (talk) 16:54, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * ...and if you can't get Hulu, there's plenty of clips on Youtube. "bnlmusic" is their official user name. The "bathroom sessions" are a good series which have Ed and Steve singing a number of songs acoustically (in a bathroom, hence the name). -- 174.31.221.70 (talk) 17:03, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

All i know is he sounds like wayne knight. I am blind so the visuals won't help me. Remember, he's the barenaked lady member that sounds like Wayne Knight. 204.112.104.172 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:14, 29 October 2010 (UTC).
 * I'm not sure either Ed Robertson or Steve Page sounds like Wayne Knight. (Although Steve Page sort of looks like Wayne Knight if you squint.) Steve Page isn't with the band anymore, so the following refers to when he was (specifically the "Talk to the Hand" concert): In "One Week", Steve does the intro/main bit, and Ed does the rap/nonsense/"Chinese chicken" bit. In "If I Had $1000000" Ed does the call and Steve does the response. Steve is the main singer for "The Old Apartment", while Ed is the main singer for "Pinch Me". Steven also did "Alcohol"/"Angry People"/"Brian Wilson" while Ed does "Bank Job"/"When I Fall"/"Adrift"/"For You"/"Wind It Up"/"Easy". The articles for most of their main studio albums (Gordon (album), Maybe You Should Drive, Born on a Pirate Ship, Stunt (album), Maroon (album), Everything to Everyone (album), Barenaked Ladies Are Me, Snacktime! and All in Good Time (Barenaked Ladies album)) have a table listing the lead vocalist for each song, if the songs you're interested in aren't listed above. -- 174.31.221.70 (talk) 07:31, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

song I heard
Hi, there's a song I don't know anything about, with the lyrics "(and?) a lone guitar". I know it's a bit vague, but if anyone can help, thanks! 70.241.18.130 (talk) 18:47, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Not the same but possibly close: While my guitar gently weeps? TomorrowTime (talk) 20:56, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * There appears to be a song titled Funeral for a Lone Guitar by someone called Ryan Biracree, but its lyrics as posted - here - do not themselves contain the phrase ". . . a lone guitar . . . ." 87.81.230.195 (talk) 22:17, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Could it be "Juke Box Hero" by Foreigner (band)? --TammyMoet (talk) 10:29, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Looking for user who has access to 2 international books and can verify reference information
Hi, I'm trying to cite charting information for U2's album The Joshua Tree for Australia and Finland (specifically the charting peaks). This has proved difficult, as there do not seem to be reliable sources online for this. I've browsed through a forum with people posting charting histories and statistics (using books as their sources) and have found the relevant information I need. However, for the article's purposes, I can't use the forums. I need to use the books instead and attribute the information to specific pages, but the books do not seem to be in print or readily accessible in the United States. I am wondering if someone with a copy of them or access via their local library can verify the information is in the books and if so, what the page number(s) is.


 * Australian Chart Book 1970-1992 by David Kent - need to know the page number that lists The Joshua Tree's charting peak for Australia (I believe that is #3)
 * Sisältää hitin : levyt ja esittäjät Suomen musiikkilistoilla vuodesta 1972 by Timo Pennanen - need to know the page number that lists The Joshua Tree's charting peak for Finland (I believe that is #1)

Thank you. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk &bull; contributions) 19:47, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
