Look at me, I can be centerfield
In case you didn't see this essay by my husband about the end of baseball, read it. (Michele's, too.) And on that note...hats, or rather ties, off to the St. Paul Saints!

Playing off the theme of Tuesday night's 7-7 tie at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Milwaukee, the independent minor league team will be having "Tie One For The Bud" night and will giving out ties with commissioner Bud Selig's face on them to select fans that attend Wednesday night's game against the Sioux City Explorers.

"In addition to suspending our club policy which restricts the appearance of neckties on the premises, we've petitioned the league to investigate the prospect of having all our games end in tie scores," said Tom Whaley, the team's vice president, in the news release. "We thereby reduce the risk of anyone getting hurt physically or emotionally by the random vagaries associated with on-field losses or extra innings."
You can read the full article (and see a tie photo) at ESPN.com. Now might I turn your attention to the OU football kickoff countdown in the sidebar, which now stands at, count 'em, FIFTY DAYS LEFT!



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



I've passed around Todd's baseball article (a link to it) so many places, it needs a passport. Great, yet sad.

Damn! I wished I was living in Minnesota already! I would have gone for the tie! (I've actually been to the park where they play. Isn't THAT exciting???)

more and more, i'm thinkin that the minor leagues is where it's at. they have all the cool promotions... did you hear about the team in Portland, OR? on Monday, in "honor" of the Enron scandal, if you could prove that your name is either Arthur or Andersen, then you get in free! i love me goofy shit like that...

now, in the Majors, you can pay $175 for a ticket and not even come away with any feeling of satisfaction.... even at the All-Star game
