NY Daily News: Friday, May 18 The Subway Series kicks off tonight and I'll be there in person for Sunday night's game, where John Maine will hopefully be nailing down the victory that completes the Mets' sweep of the Yankees.

ABC didn’t give it the premium post-Super Bowl spotlight last year — when it finally caught my attention and immediately seized it — to attract more women, and they were rewarded for their gamble with a ratings boost that…
First draft here, this is the edited version I read on the open mic last night. Felt like a total newbie -- it's not at all like riding a bike! -- but it was very satisfying once I stepped off the stage. I wouldn't call it a comeback, necessarily, but it certainly won't be the last time.
