Baseball: I'm not paying too much attention to the recent steroids news, though (naively or not) I think its use disparages the game. More pleasantly, I caught a bit of pre-season baseball. The Mets look about on par -- the starting pitching thus far is rather good, but the hitting a bit suspect (a couple times, they had good first innings and then lost in the ninth, not scoring the rest of the game ... this brings back a few bad flashbacks from '03). And, Reyes tweaked his hamstring today ... ah, the memories. The Yanks' starting pitching, excepting Mussina, are having a mixed Spring -- though the team is known to be not a big Spring Training sort of team in regards to record. Good to be able to catch some baseball on weekend afternoons again. The
NYT had a nice
article on Al Leiter.
