Crank, on baseball and law I thought this was an interesting development: http://www.baseballmusings.com/archives/019248.php .
Pinto's comment, "I find it quite distressing that the Chronicle reporters invoked Watergate in their pleas to be kept out of jail, yet were abetting a lawyer trying to commit fraud to free a client. That's a great reason to protect a source, so the source can commit a crime." is lightyears ahead of the blathering heard from the Daily New's finest.

abe, thanks for the tip, I hadn't seen that (and I usually get to Pinto's place every day). I'll have a post up later.

Windows ME -- ouch. You deserve a new computer after putting up with that turkey.

Looking forward to it. I'll be doing my first fantasy league this year, and the draft is upcoming. . .

Crank, my pleasure. Along the same lines, I'd like to note a local boy, Duke Lax player as a matter of fact: http://www.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/ny-liiraq0216,0,1321246.story?coll=ny-main-bigpix

May he rest in peace
