We're moving!

The newspapers where I work has a new web site (www.thebrightonblade.com, www.cvfrmerandminer,com, www.ftluptonpress.com, www.commercecitysentinel.com) with plenty of room for such things as blogs and public comment.
It's good news professionally. It's not good news for this spot. We're going to have to move.
So come on over. We'll still do the same things we've always done – gripe, whine, praise, discuss. We just have to do it in a difference place.
See you at the new home ...

It's all in the headline

It won't sit well with sports talk radio – or its fans.
Tough.
Some background is in order. "Galarraga" is Detroit pitcher Armando Galarrga, he of the 28-out perfect game in early June. "Joyce" is umpire Jim Joyce, who forced the 28-out no-hitter with a blown call at first base with two outs in the ninth inning.
Here's the headline.
"Tigers' Galarraga says Joyce reunion not big deal."
It shouldn't be to anyone with something to do.

Not a Tweeter yet

Former champ and now tennis commentator John McEnroe offered up this comment the other night about the social networking site, Twitter.
"I'd rather Tweet in skin-tight tennis shorts and wooden rackets."

Have to know the territory

Saw this item during the Rockies game last night ---
Seems a deaf Giants pitcher -- who communicated in sign language -- was thrown out of a game in 1908 for using foul sign language in front of an umpire.
Who also happened to be deaf.
Robert Preston and his friends in "The Music Man" were right.
You've got know the territory.
