Dan:

Put an Ohio State jersey on the boy. Then it will go perfectly with the following joke:

$100 two tickets to the Ohio State-Michigan game

$5: program

$20: hotdogs and pop

$300: replica Archie Griffin OSU jersey

How have we gone more than a week with no posts on the baseball page?

McCovey Cove regulars await chance to paddle for history

Interesting story by ESPN.com's Wojciechowski - no matter how you feel about Bonds's home run total.

It's camp season? I just got back myself Sunday night, just before midnight. I met "btaylor" (Ben) down there. Always nice to put a face to the name.

So what's been going on since I left? A quick look at the standings shows. . . hmmmmm, this is interesting. . .

Hmmmm.....As an A's fan, how about that Dan Haren? 2 or less ER given upin his last 7 starts......

[ChuckElias]

Unfortunately, Don, most of the A's games start after I go to bed. Looks like they need some help, though. They're treading water at .500. Of course, that still puts them miles ahead of. . .

So, why do I still hear conversations about Joe Torre getting fired? Is there a serious possibility of this? It doesn't seem to me that the Yankees' woes are his doing, and all the silly TV monkeys say he shouldn't be fired and won't be fired. But they keep talking about it. Is that b/c they're just silly TV monkeys? Or is there any real reason to think that his job is in trouble?

Well, it certainly isn't Torre's fault that the Yankees.....well.....suck. They had no pitching for 6 weeks or so. And then their hitters died. They're full value for their present record. But, the way of the world is that the manager gets the blame. NY isn't Oz. Torre got booed at home the other day.

I just got new contacts a few months back, so I don't think it's a vision problem on this end.
