They're still late to the dance, but better late than never.<BR/><BR/>At the same time - coincidence I guess - I note that EESPN is now promoting that it is "your year round source" for MLB news. At least that means I'll get to see one of my childhood heroes year round - that is the suave, debonair John Kruk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-60660937343486300772009-02-03T16:23:00.000-05:002009-02-03T16:23:00.000-05:00I don't get home till 6:30 or so and I'm fighting...I don't get home till 6:30 or so and I'm fighting it out with DirecTv about a DVR after 12 years of paying for the Premier package or what ever it's called.

Bestwick might as well have asked "Which driver do you really just not like very much?" based on the way all three answered the question. I found it very telling.
