Hello Again, I read with great consternation that Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig was just granted a 3-year extension through 2009. This comes less than 3 months after he said that he wouldn't serve past 2006. Previously, he said that he wouldn't serve past 1998. What a politician he would make! In spite of his questionable leadership, baseball is in good, if not great shape. The NFL & NBA have clearly surpassed baseball in popularity and Selig must bear the blunt of the blame...

Hello Again, Earlier, I spent over 2 hours working on a blog.....The whole thing was about baseball.....It was carefully & lovingly written, as I love the game.....I also have slow dial-up service.....You see it coming, don't you?.....A friend calls me, and I lose my AOL connection.....Of course I lose the blog.....I was beyond pissed.....I was sooo pissed that I went to the bathroom & pissed.....I also discovered that my cat had left a dead mouse in there.....Thanks a lot, kitty!.....And ...

Hello Again, In all seriousness, I do enjoy this.....It's a welcome release for someone who works professionally as a writer.....Even if someone disagrees with something I wrote, I take it as a sign they care, and I don't take it personally.....Internet reports are calling last night's WWE SummerSlam SummerSnore.....I'll see a friend's tape of it later.....Vince McMahon should take note, though: An awful lot of people paid an awful lot of money to see the pay-per-view.....And the arena in ...

Hello Again, This is a list of people who made people miserable, caused needless suffering, or held up progress. If you're not familiar with a listed name, a search is congenially recommended. As usual, the list is subjective, you may not agree with everything, and later I may think of someone I should have listed, but what the hey? The rogues' gallery: Adolf Hitler.....Avery Brundage.....Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis.....Joseph McCarthy.....Breckenridge Long.....Idi Amin.....Monique Be...

Heads Up, Hackneyed, My latest list is of people, and things of all sorts that we didn't get enough of. They all stopped much too early. Maybe they fall into the category of All Good Things Must Come To An End. Dammit.

Kennedy.....Rod Serling.....Mark "The Bird" Fydrich.....Karen Carpenter.....Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA).....The WWE's Christopher Nowitz...
