baseball--the Florida Marlins tonight (last night--this morning, whatever time zone cyberspace is, it's 3:18 AM thirsty 10/23 in Ohio) are tied with the Noo Yawk Yankers at two games each, thus assuring that Saturday's game (and Sunday's if needed) will indeed be for the championship, thus the network television ratings will rise and thank goodness for the 'mute' button so i don't have to listen to the same bleeping advert 60 times in three hours.
drugs--the grand jury on the steroids case is scheduled to convene in December and the drug's manufacturer has reportedly filed bankruptcy proceedings, so it will be an ongoing story with wide repercussions with scads of lawyers, barristers and their ilk salivating over their fees.....and we foot the bill.

I actually fell asaleep during last nights game in the top of the 9th with the score at 3-1 to the Marlins. Turns out that just after I nodded off, Sierra hit a two-run homer for the Yanks to take it into extra innings, and was it the 11th or 12th that the MArlins finally finished it in?
Moral of the story- don't drink Jack Daniels while watching late night sport if you want to stay awake...

i was asleep by the first pitch...three shots of rumpleman's (peppermint schnapps)at the watering hole (i won $50 on an Amfoot pool!) after omitting lunch, but i woke to the extra innings. (the game ended past midnight.)

Early prediction for tonight's game- narrow come-from-behind vixctory for the Yanks to set up a decider at Yankee Stadium tomorrow night.

raise a pint or so for pitcher Josh Beckett and the Florida Marlins, the team that came from ten games under .500 in May to win the World Series from the Noo Yawk Yankers four games to two.
begin four months of money-haggling, speculation and guesstimation before April's Opening Day. (last year, it snowed in baltimore.) also begin focus on Amfoot and parhaps some basketball. i'll keep an eye on hockey, but it's not my strong point.

Beckett's too bloody good. Ah well, time for Steinbrenner to buy everything that's not nailed down.
