So we get another data point to confirm that momentum really is tomorrow's starting pitcher. Anyway, seeing as the waiting is still the hardest part, to help get you through the day I recommend this Birdhouse interview with Bill DeWitt, the managing general partner of the St. Louis Cardinals. If you're looking for Mr. DeWitt -- the last group of people to be referred to as "Mister" will be baseball owners -- to pull a Steinbrenner and overrule a LaRussa decision with regard to, say, Ray King, you're out of luck though:

My view is - he’s the manager. I’m not going to give him any advice about the game on the field. Whether we have a squeeze play or a hit-and-run in the seventh inning, I’ll talk to him from the standpoint of a fan’s interest. Far be it for me to say, you know, ‘why did you do this or that?’ I mean, he knows what he’s doing and he runs a great game.

For those of us with slightly smaller net worths, my dad passes along this New York Times article (registration required) on the joys of owning a minor league franchise. No word yet from Alan Greenspan about regional bubbles or irrational exuberance for this investment opportunity.

Now that I've posted that, I can expect another thousand 419 spams.
