From Sports Editor Matthew T. Sussman:
M.D. Sandwasher became a Blogcritics pioneer this weekend. To the best of my knowledge he is the first BCer to apply for a press pass to a sporting event. His narrative of being a baseball reporter newbie is one for the books, especially his line about seeing "Moonlight Graham" and "Chisholm Minnesota" on the scoreboard.
Sal Marinello lands another solid punch in the torso that is the culture of PED use. When a steroid doctor receives jail time for conspiracy charges, he points out that a conspiracy implies multiple persons are culpable. With all these lethal blows Sal is taking toward this illegal practice, I can't help but wonder what he's using while writing these.

Thank you, I'm honored that my little piece on Isreal touched so many, I just wish it weren't necessary. I'd like to dedicate the honor to Ruvy in Jerusalem and my prayers for his and his family's continued safety...

Thank you Howard. I feel humbled. It's one thing to write - it's another to set a standard...
Thank you Jet, and all the rest of you who have offered your good wishes and prayers. Bear in mind that there are those in Lebanon who also read Blog Critics. While I feel no sympathy for HizbAllah, I feel very badly for innocent Lebanese who are seeing 15 hard years of rebuilding going down into the rubble of war - again.
