In the second inning, I’m thinking Mike Pelfry may have been the wrong choice as the Mets’ starter in the first official game at the new Citi Field.

Pedestrians in Manhattan used to be good at walking in crowds and not getting in the way. They aren’t anymore.

I don’t think there’s a person in the USA who thinks the baby sitter killed Caylee Anthony. And since Casey Anthony doesn’t have any money, all I can see that the baby sitter is accomplishing in pursuing a lawsuit is giving publicity to and repeating the false charge that the baby sitter did it.
