Infinitive Splitter

Good afternoon!

• Kevin McClatchy is the Donald Rumsfeld of Major League Baseball.  As the AP reported, he “will remain as the Pittsburgh Pirates’ chief executive officer and managing general partner, even though the franchise hasn’t had a winning season since he took control in 1996.” Prediction for 2007: 74-88.
• The fine folks at Fire Joe Morgan have posted this year’s MLB Team Chemistry Index, and the Cardinals, Phillies, Marlins and Brewers blew everyone else out of the water. Be sure to check out the whole list (and read the explanation of the formula at the bottom or you’ll miss the whole point).
• This email to Bill Simmons was posted with this week’s NFL picks: “The Raiders suck so bad that they are 15-point underdogs to a team that scores 12.2 points a game. This has to be a sports first. The sickest part? The Broncos are a mortal lock to cover.”
• Hockey season is underway! Basketball season is around the corner! Who cares!?

Good night!
