maybe so...LoDuca pops one in for a Texas League single.

OK...that's how. 4-0 Yanks.

Any thoughts on how this could get any worse?

No, that's me you're thinking of.

Trying to remember how I stumbled on CPF, but I cannot for the life of me.

MRI for Bannister tomorrow. On edit...I see this is not news.

Trachsel - 6

Glavine 4 Reyes 4 LoDuca 2

Are we sure it wasn't Jerry Springer?

Wagner 3 LoDuca 3 Gonzalez 2 Beltran 1 Valentin 1

It's a long season. Let's have Pedro still strong for the stretch.

Jackie Robinson. You remember what Durocher said. "You look for a guy who comes to play. But Robinson didn't just come to play. He came to beat you. He came to shove the goddam bat up your ass!" No thrill in sports for me ever approaches seeing Jackie Robinson play at Ebbets Field.

That's bad.

That's why it matters to hit the cutoff man. I thought he was out.

Trachsel 4 Matsui 1 Castro 1

And the devil, as we know from "Damn Yankees." is a Yankee fan.

How do you check?

I have a kind of policy about giving out ten points for a loss. It's a policy I could break easily enough, but I stuck to it for this game -- 9 points.

Yeah, but this is not startingly different from how we react to any other public figure. That's why Republicans tend to believe Bush more than Democrats do.

]My point was, either you have some or you have none. If you have some, and I think you're granting that you do, then that's too much, if he could always be dissembling, and you can't tell when he is and when he isn't. You want to allow, ,maybe, that's he always lying, but sometimes you think it's worthwhile to parse the signals emerging from his mouth anyway? Why just at those times, then? Who is this not true of? Do any of us know some people who always tell the truth, and some who always lie? I mean, besides ones who are guarding two doors, one of which leads to certain death? You listen to Omar, or read accounts of his statements to the press, because he's the general manager of the Mets, and you like to read about the Mets. You hope, that when Omar says "We're not talking to anyone just now," that he actually has something up his sleeve, and you hope that you'll like it. You'd probably not have much respect for him as a GM if he kept saying things like "We don't want other GMs to know this, because it would give them too much leverage, but we've detected a serious flaw in Pelfrey's delivery, and we're planning to unload him to the first team that's sap enough to give us a couple of retreads and a lower minor leaguer for him."

In case anyone's wondering, here's the lyric -- by Cal Smith: The life that I�m seeking is not in this bar where I�m sitting But it�s sure ain�t at home where the one that I�m married to�s knitting Happiness may not be here drinking beer, feeling it go to my head But it ain�t back at home where she�s putting in curlers and rollers and dressing for bed What I�m looking for ain�t the blonde in the corner who�s winking But it sure ain�t my wife who devoted her life to dumb thinking Happiness surely still lives in this world and somewhere it�s waiting for me And I�m know that it must be somewhere between lust and sitting home watching TV Somewhere between Playboy magazine and next Tuesday night�s PTA Somewhere between a honky-tonk queen and what all the dog did today If a wife and a lover could be one of the same what a beautiful world this would be And there would be us somewhere between lust and sitting home watching TV My wife�s a good cook but a man can�t exist on just bread And what I�m hungry for is the one thing I ain�t being fed I haven�t been shopping but there�s lot of bargains walking through town tempting me And a body could rust on a diet of lust and sitting home watching TV Somewhere between Playboy magazine and next Tuesday night�s PTA Somewhere between a honky-tonk queen and what all the dog did today If a wife and a lover could be one of the same what a beautiful world this would be And there would be us somewhere between lust and sitting home watching TV

It's like that country and western song -- there's got to be something between lust and watching TV.

Is there possibly a point in between "therefore it's so" and "no credence"?
