As it stands, I printed it out, read it on the toilet, and left it on top of the dispenser for everyone else (male) in my office to enjoy. It's a subtle-but-important distinction.

Sorry if I cut out your favorite bit. Let's just assume it was amazingly well written and would have made you weep.

]]> <![CDATA[The NCAA Tournament, Like Everything Else, Is Run By Larry Brown]]> Has anyone else been watching the painful ESPN coverage of this event. They have one of their bobbleheads peppering Bobby Knight and Dick Vitale. I swear Vitale is on speed, and every time they pull back for a 3-head shot, you can see Knight seething and plotting Vitale's slow and painful death. ...Which, quite frankly makes Bobby Knight one of the more endearing characters on TV these days.

]]> <![CDATA[The NCAA Tournament, Like Everything Else, Is Run By Larry Brown]]> @OchentaYcinco: Thank Christ Lidge made it out of the ninth inning with just one run allowed. He had runners on second and third with two outs and a batter hitting .500 on the season (Valentin) at the plate.

As I mentioned elsewhere, if Valentin had dropped one into shallow right field, or worse, homered, the press would have had to interview Lidge via police negotiator.

Hey So Taguchi. You're in the game in the 9th as a defensive replacement. So (see what I did there?) catch the damn last out of the game when it's hit to you. Lidge will eventually wet himself with or without you.

Wagers on the datewhen the fans chase him out of town Ed Whitson style?

@tater: He's tearing the cover off the ball. Which means a 1 for 33 is right around the corner.
