Since we're going with the paper of record. Did anyone catch Bill Rhoden's defense of the players position?

Hey! Ever heard the story about the 3 greatest villains of the 20th century? (scroll down)

Shocking news. How's this scenario sound? The Cardinals rebound from this and play into the post season. I had been pulling for an all contraction fall classic between the Expos and Twins. The Expos are a lost cause though. So how about a replay of the 1987 World Series with the Cardinals raising the trophy in late October?

Ummm ... read the comments. This is an elaborate troll by the Swedish Government. Curious. I'm trying to imagine the U.S. government pulling a similar stunt involving sport.

Sounds just like the minor-league promotion you'd expect from Chicago's other team. I'd love to camp on the field. Is this the end of a homestand? Could be rough on the field. The local Single-A team does this sort of promotion for the Boy Scouts at no additional cost. Humph.

I missed this one entirely. The City Paper does good work. Man, that would be great if The Danny changed the name. Ever see the Chris Rock routine on this? Equating the Redskin name to the New York Niggers. It sure raised my conciousness.

Cone a Yankee? Remember the old Star Trek episode with the wandering satellite with a bad attitude? "I am Nomad". Without resorting to looking him up, I remember him as a Met, Royal, Blue Jay, Yankee, and Red Sox.The tour is cool though. I'd ask him about Cal's last game, which he started. I'd avoid the '86 series considering where I was though!

This is a great idea. Why not use the tools available to check the skills of the men given the final authority on the field? I see this as a training and evaluation tool. The next step is a membership here for some of the more Eric Gregg-like umpires!

Ooops, bad syntax. Post questions/comments here anytime. But if you want to participate in the "town hall", MLB isn't accepting questions until after 2 P.M. ET tomorrow. Sheesh, can 'ya tell it's my 1st post?
