Quote of the day
"To me, baseball is better with tradition, baseball is better with history, baseball is better with fans who care, baseball is better in ballparks like this, baseball is better during the day. And baseball is best of all when you win." -- New Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, at his introductory new conference

Daily blurb
There are three possible outcomes of tonight’s Game-6 of the World Series. Texas could win, St. Louis could win, or the weather could win. At of this morning, I’m favoring the weather.

After the NBA threatened to cancel another 2 weeks of NBA games, the announcement never came and more talks are now scheduled. I don’t hold out much hope that these talks will bear more fruit, but it is a good sign that they are at least meeting. Given that the reported gap in basketball-related revenues still amounts to $100 million – which equates to about $200,000 per year per active player – that sounds like quite a gap. And they haven’t even started earnest negotiations over the salary cap/luxury tax issue, which sounds like an even bigger nut to crack. But, they can’t begin to crack anyone’s nuts if they aren’t talking – so that’s a necessary development – but probably insufficient for the time being.
