    Kevin Baker is an author of historical novels who seems to be interested in the same aspects of New York City history that I am.The first novel I read by him Dreamland is about Coney Island, immigrants in the Lower East Side, Tammany politics, and the labor movement, among other things.Paradise Alley is set in New York during the Civil War Draft Riots focusing on the interlocked stories of the mixed Irish and Black neighborhood during the riots with lots of flashbacks over the 20 years preceeding. I think Dreamland is the better novel, but Paradise Alley is gripping all the same.

    The Post's auto-update has created some unintentional humor.

Personally, I find more odious things shoved in my face through advertising than religion. But we can all exercise our right to tune out commercials. Or change the channel.

    I haven't been voting much lately because I haven't been watching many games lately (I actually marked a spot on my schedule so that I make time to watch tonight's game!). I have a formula for awarding points derived from the box score but it doesn't account for things that may add points (great defensive plays) or subtract points (baserunning blunders) that I would notice if I watch the game. If you want votes I'll go through the box scores and just award points based on that but I do try to keep this honest by keeping aware of "the intangibles" so I don't want to skew your data either. Let me know!

    NYT article tells us how the Tiggers are doing it. Minaya and Randolph get a shout out. (Arcticle courtesy of my better half).

    No one is seeing the upside of this! We need Wright to get the faith healer to work on Pedro's hip.

    Haven't read it yet but here's an analysis of the deal.

    With his arrest record and Aruba connections I'm surprised no one's pinned the Natalee Holloway abduction on him. SC=100

    Yes but you'll be the Seaver with the orange, scaly guy underneath.

    Seaverdom at last! Now I'm the Mets greatest player of all time and someone that most people think is an asshole. OK most people already think I'm an asshole. My memories of Seaver sadly only start in 1982 and then only via osmosis from my Dad. I'd never seen him as excited about the Mets as when the news came that Seaver was returning to the Mets. I vaguely recall watching one of Seaver's starts with my Dad but not being too interested in baseball at the time, I kind of got figgity and left to do something else. If only I could have a do over on that both to see Seaver pitch for the Mets and to spend time with my late father. My other memory of Seaver is of his attempted return to the Mets in 1987. During one game some young Met kept putting his arm around Seaver until Seaver got annoyed. Seaver got blown out in a start against the Tides and that was that, no swan song with the Mets. I'm sure the rest of you have much better memories of Tom Terrific.
