I was dubious when the Mets signed Pedro two years ago: I reckoned that his was fragile at best, and finished more likely. I was wrong. He has been a stud, even though the run support he has received since coming to Shea has been dismal. He also brought elan to a team that was searching for an identity, and I think that was important too. I'm sorry that his season is over-- it would have been sweet to have seen him in blue and orange this October.

Steep and Cheap is a nifty thing: one item at a time, deeply discounted, until it's sold out, then it's on to the next. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but it's been close. Check it out.
A good idea, but not a particularly good list: Eight Great Un(der)sung Sports Songs. Sure, "Hockey Monkey" is on it, but you have to drill down into the comments before you get to "All Kinds of Time" by Fountains of Wayne, or "Catfish". There are a whole lot of songs about sports that belong on a proper list....
