Once upon a time, the President of the United States made an annual speech called the State of the Union address. It was an important speech, but it had a bad effect on the self-important, which is to say, everyone else who liked to give speeches. Some governors said, "What a swell idea. Let us give State of the State addresses." Some county executives said, "What a swell idea. Let us give State of the County addresses. Some mayors said, "What a swell idea. Let us give State of the City addresses." And so it goes: Quote: Manuel promised such alterations on his first official day as the manager, in October, and he expanded upon them Saturday morning during his state of the team address.

What a coincidence. I've been preparing my State of the Web Site message. |

Will there be layoffs? Should I try to catch on at the Baseball Digest site? |
