For the Astros, it's a Turkey Quinella with McLane and his GM Ed Wade after the Astros owner screwed up the postponement of the "Hurricane Ike" three-game series with the Cubs in September and then bad-mouthed Bud Selig behind the commissioner's back for the games winding up in Milwaukee. Days before the hurricane hit Texas, Selig tried to convince McLane the games needed to be moved, but McLane chose to ignore the dire forecast out of greed for a potential three sellouts - by which time Milwaukee was the only option left.

Who wrote this...someone in Bud Selig's family?
Oh…it’s the New York Daily News. In my book, the NY Daily News has as much credibility as supermarket tabloids like the late great World Weekly News. If you don’t remember that tabloid…try some of these headlines:

Those headlines
Could easily keep me occupied all day. I had the same reaction as you to the quote about Drayton, but I figured with conversation low, nothing like dredging up past slights to generate some commentary.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

yeah, it's pretty funny....
I particularly like they way that a mini-headline “Actual Photographs” is inserted on some of these tabloid front pages.
