Even though it was fun working for the Orioles, I knew it wasn’t going to last forever. Anyway, now that we’re a couple of months into the season, I thought I’d revisit my original roundup post about all the teams. Just for a laugh, you know.

Andrew Sullivan has made a post that I find myself agreeing with completely (which is actually an odd sensation, albeit not totally unfamiliar, but I digress). You can find the post here.
I think there are some people who are taking this entirely too far. When John Derbyshire asks for someone to make a citizen’s arrest on officials executing their duties as they belive mandated by the California Constitution, we ought to stop and think about just what this means and where we’re going.

Alex Rodriguez, quite possibly the best all-around player in baseball today, is going to be traded to the New York Yankees.
A-Rod will move to third base to fill the hole created by Aaron “What Do You Mean, ‘My Contract Won’t Let Me Play Basketball?’ ” Boone.

Coolest. Patches. EVER!
Marvin The Martian and Daffy Duck (as the fearless Duck Dodgers) will be showcased on official 1st Space Launch Squadron patches for two NASA Mars Exploration Rover Missions this summer [summer 2003 — MN]. “They must be MINE!!!” I’m surprised it took this long for me to hear about them — I guess I just … Read more

I thought I’d give my own take on who’s going to win each division and go on to the World Series this year. Yes, even though Spring Training hasn’t even started yet. After all, isn’t bloviation a big chunk of the fun of baseball?
“Now announcing a pinch hitter…”
Greetings! As Moe has already mentioned, I am honored to be filling in here for a bit while Katherine is busy with her immigration law work. I’m not a huge fan of single-axis descriptions of anyone’s politics, but if forced to describe myself that way, I’d call myself generally a centrist, with a few outlying … Read more
