Just a very quick post for this morning (maybe for today).  It was nice to see the oft “message-board and blog” maligned Clay Condrey pitch a scoreless 10th frame to preserve the 4-1 Phillies win yesterday.  The win, coupled with a San Francisco loss moved Philadelphia to within a half game of the Eastern wildcard with seven games to play.

I’m happy that the blog’s become a lot more interactive in the last few weeks, with more and more people taking the time to leave comments.  However, there are a few rules I guess I should have spelled out more clearly.  The first rule of the blog, at least for me, has always been “Thou shalt speak no evil of anyone in the Lynx organization”.  That rule will apply to commenters as well - if the criticism’s not fair or constructive, there’s a very good chance it won’t get posted.   If it’s just a cheap shot, you’re best not to waste your time. 

Let’s face it: This is not an objective blog - nor is it a democracy.

*** UPDATE ***

Neate’s got a nice takedown of the other Ottawa Business Journal article surrounding Lynx Stadium from earlier this week.  Unlike Friday’s piece, I had seen this one (in the print version no less) but wrote it off as editorial I just happened to disagree with (blogger: Remember, I’m trying to stop picking fights with the media).  It is curious though, that along with the scorched earth policy they seem to favor, the OBJ also seems to have a lot of time for Mr. Butler - what’s this, the third article from them?  Correct me if I’m wrong - but have Miles Wolff and his proposal not been given the short end of the stick by OBJ?  Again, I stand to be corrected, but I don’t recall any major stories covering his plan….
