I suggest you read Will’s piece below, as he brings up an excellent point about how reporting on the trade deadline is about having contacts and talking to as many people in the know to find out what is happening. I’ve been reading Will’s Mill at BP the past week and the whole subject of [...]

Top Album Covers of All-Time
Legendary blogger TFD had some great music ideas he sent to us, recently, so here is the first in a continuing series.
TFD chose Billy Joel’s The Stranger as the best album cover of all-time.

Do you want to go to Camden Yards Tomorrow?
I will be in Baltimore Saturday and Sunday and wanted to know if any of our readers/lurkers want to catch a game at Camden either day? I would prefer to go to the Saturday day game, but if I can’t find someone to go to that one, I will go to the Sunday night game. [...]

Congratulations NL West!
I’ve been counting down the days until it would happen and now less than 72 hours before the trading deadline, the Padres having lost 9 of their last 10 games, sitting atop the NL West with a .500 record. Before the season I commented on how bad the division was, but I figured the Dodgers [...]

The New Coke of 2005
New and Improved my ASS! This is what I say to the change in formula to my drink of choice the past few years, Pepsi One. I’m not sure when it happened, but around the beginning of the year, Pepsi One changed the design of their can (from silver to black). Nowhere on the can [...]

How Can You Watch the Dodgers: Open Chat
Direct TV just had their post-All-star game free preview the past week, so I got a chance to watch some teams I generally don’t see much of. Since I was unfortunate enough to choose the Dodgers to win the NL West, I tried to focus on them, to see what has happened. Of course, being [...]

Prospects at Trade Time
OK, I’ve been reticent as a White Sox fan to recommend any trade, as the magical season continues to be in full swing, but………..
