Steve McQueen woulda been 83, yesterday....Here are his 5 best movies:

5. "The Blob"- Made before Steve ever became a star. It's a cult classic,sci-fi, so crazy that it's cool.

4. "The Cincinatti Kid"- Great poker flick w/ the hottest woman ever, Ann-Margaret.

3."Papillon"- That's 'butterfly' for you suckas that don't speak French. McQueen is a prisoner on an island
    where he befriends a fellow prisoner played by the great Dustin Hoffman. I think Hoffman is
    the least pretensious person to ever come outta Hollywood. Seems like a great dude.

2."Bullitt"- Great chase scene and a young Jacqueline Bisset. If that ain't enough, Norman Fell aka Mr.
    Roper is in it.

1."The Great Escape"- Based on the true story of a massive escape from a German POW camp by
   Allied soldiers. McQueen is the loner who wants to plan his own smaller escape,
   but actions of the Germans cause him to join in on the big one. The movie stars
   other big names such as James Garner, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, and
   Richard Attenborough, but it's McQueen who shines as the biggest star...A must
   watch for any man worth a damn.


Derek Holland had a decent outing for the Rangers today, punching out 7...Lewis Brinson went deep in
a minor league game...Kyle Lohse signed a 3-year deal with the Brewers, proving once again that Scott Boras always gets the job done. He might be the best person in the world at his job.
