Yankees Win 

The Yankees won this morning. So much for an 0-162 season. At least the Devil Rays can say they were the only undefeated team in baseball for 1 day.

Baseball Schedules For Palm Desktop (And Other PIMS) 

I have finally completed releasing my 2004 Major League Baseball schedules for Palm Desktop. The schedules import into Palm Desktop only but paid customers can request vCal versions. The vCal versions will import into Outlook and most other PIMs that are compatible with the vCal format. See my Palm website for more information.

Devil Rays vs. Yankees in Japan 

I turned on the TV at about 7 AM this morning (eastern time) to see that the Devil Rays and Yankees were already in the 6th inning of their game. The Devil Rays were leading 5-3. As a New Yorker I am in the Yankees market (even though I'm a Mets fan) and you'd figure that Major League Baseball would what to give their home markets a fair shake when it comes to games that count. When games start at 5:05 AM you have to wonder how much they really care and how much the commissioners office really thinks about the purity and best interests of the game. I suppose it could be worse. At least their doing at the start of the season and not in the middle.

MLB Opening In Japan 

The Major League Baseball season opens in Japan with the New York Yankees opening a 2 game set with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. I hate when they open the season with games in Japan. It makes no sense beyond the international marketing angle. Don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems with the Japanese. But fans of both teams lose a home game in their cities and the games start 5:05 AM local time making it impossible for anyone who works or goes to school to enjoy. It's one thing to do this for exhibition purposes but they should keep the games that count in their intended locales.

Mets Trade For Gutierrez 

The Mets acquired infielder Ricky Gutierrez from the Cleveland Indians yesterday to serve as an experienced backup in case the Jose Reyes/Kaz Matsui experiment goes awry. Not a bad idea considering both were hurt in spring training with Reyes still not back from a hamstring injury. I'm a little jaded about Reyes durability right now with this injury following an ankle injury that forced him to shut it down last year. I hope this string of injuries is just a coincidence and not a sign of things to come.

Mets Trade Timo Perez 

The Mets traded Timo Perez to the White Sox for RHP Matt Ginter. The Mets outfield needs as much help as it can get but the time was right to trade Perez. I would rather them have traded Roger Cedeno but Cedeno's contract is prohibitive. As for Perez he hasn't done much since 2000 when he sparked the Mets run to a World Series appearance. He's got potential but there's only so long you can wait for it. I wish him the best of luck in Chicago.

No More Errors! (For now anyway) 

It took some fooling around but I finally got the 004 errors to stop. Blogger support said it was a problem with my settings. They suggested I change my settings, log out of Blogger, log back into Blogger and try to publish again. I was skeptical of this solution since the same settings were working fine last night. But I played with the settings anyway just in case. Sure enough I got it to work but with a slightly different process than what they outlined. The process that worked for me went like this:
1 - Change a setting.
2 - Save change.
3 - Logout of Blogger.
4 - Quit IE.
5 - Delete Temporary Internet Files.
6 - Launch IE.
7 - Log back into Blogger.
8 - Publish.

Now I'm back in business!!

Ugueth Urbina Signs With The Detroit Tigers 

Free agent relief pitcher Ugueth Urbina signed with the Detroit Tigers today. What took so long? So many teams were looking for closers in the off season (including my Mets) and it took Urbina this long to sign? I don't get it.

Getting in Tune 

I'm playing with some Blogger settings to see what they do and think I've settled on a template and options that I like. I turned on the Atom support but I'm still looking for an RSS solution. I'm not very happy with the options that I've seen. If anyone has any ideas on this please let me know.
