RIP, Mr. Einstein.

Stuart Rosenberg, director of "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Drowning Pool" passed away as well.

Special favorite at 104-107 discusses " a play known simply as The Catch. ... Wertz swung at Liddle's first pitch, and there it went, on a rising star, soaring line towards the deepest center field, just to the right of dead center. To be seated in the press section back of home plate, in the imperceptible flash of time it took to focus from the swing to the horizon beyond, was to encounter a sight: the number 24 on the back of Willie May's uniform, already in full flight toward the wall...."

Just brilliant.

I guess they might pull that if Direct TV sales drop. I wonder how that'll play.

Torre didn't rule out the possibility that Igawa could begin the season in the minors. The left-hander, who has struggled with his control, is to pitch Tuesday night against Philadelphia.

"I think we have a lot of options that we have to consider," Torre said. "But the first consideration for us is do what's best for the player, especially someone you feel is going to be a big part of what you do."

I do however see a problem with limiting supply if MLB is allowed to reap a producer surplus from that behavior when acting in conjunction with a non-MLB partner or conspirator if you prefer. I don't think MLB particularly cares how they get my dollars so long as they ultimately get them in a way that allows them to build the partnerships that interest them. MLB cares about it's fan base only in the light that it can be monitized. They are a business and are subject to market forces and incentives as is any business despite anything O. W. Holmes may have mistakenly supposed.
