FINAL: Italy 8, Puerto Rico 6

The Italians' magical run in the World Baseball Classic continues to the semifinals, where they'll face the winner of Japan and Venezuela. They took a big lead early, held off a late rally and will take their espresso machine and hot bats to Miami.

Just to be contrarian, I'll say the game will end in a tie and Martin won't win or lose.

Cool. I like that it's a multi-statue ode that also includes the Siegels and Shuster.

Have you visited the new Superman statue in downtown Cleveland? Looks like it's close to where the SABR convention will be, so I plan to check it out sometime while there.

Consider coming to Madison, WI. We have several great locally-owned bookstores and a fantastic main library that regularly hosts author events (including Wisconsin Book Festival).

Rabbit Maranville looks like he would beat a guy up and spit tobacco juice on him while he's down, and all before breakfast.

If only they had a shred of intellectual curiosity beyond wondering how to make more money, they might understand anything else.

If nobody else wants it, I wouldn't mind having the Fred Dryer card. Hunter!

Also, I'd like to point out that Alfred Jenkins has two butler names.
