My highly select email forward of the day.
It's either this or I can post about how the Lynn Gin Tasters are continuing to lead their fantasy baseball league by 5.5 games. Tasters did not have top scores for the week (9-3-2), but we weren't too far off the mark (10-4-0). Should I even consider trading Victor Martinez to my next closest competitor?

Subject: We are what we read...
1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.
3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the
country and who are very good at crossword puzzles.
4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but
don't really
understand The New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown
in pie charts.
5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the
country -- if they could find the time -- and if they didn't have to leave
Southern California to do it.
6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country
and did a far superior job of it, thank you very much.
7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's
running the country and don't really care as long as they can get a seat on the
train.
8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who's running the
country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while
intoxicated.
9. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but
need the baseball scores.
10. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure there is a
country .. or that anyone is running it; but if so, they oppose all that they
stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped
minority feminist atheist dwarfs who also happen to be illegal aliens from any
other country or galaxy, provided, of course, that they are not Republicans.
11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery
store.
12. None of these are read by the guy who is running the country.
<li> The Adirondack Chairs hold pace at 9-3-2, and hope to go a week with no roster moves.
<li> Point 12 contradicts point 1.
</ul>
<li>I just saw the discrepancy between 12 and 1. Reading it in an email pane being scrolled down so you forget 1 by the time you get to 12 is entirely satisfactory, IMHO.
<li>I keep getting trade offers for V. Martinez. I shouldn't feel guilty not trading him, right?
</ul>
<li>My favorite is No. 9 by the way.
</ul>
<li> Never accept trades from Jose Lima Rocks, he is only interested in deals that he clearly wins.
<li> Do not feel guilty for wanting to keep your 4th round draft pick.
</ul>
BTW- Martinez is a keeper. But you knew that.
