Strawberry Fields in Central Park, across the street from the Dakota, where John Lennon was killed 25 years ago today. Holy crapola. Renteria for Andy Marte. The Sox’ entire infield is going to be new next year. Here’s a little on Marte, the Braves’ AAA third-baseman: Broadly speaking, Marte has “classical” third-baseman skills of the Mathews/Schmidt type. He’s not going to be a .300 hitter, at least not normally. He’s hitting .275 this year in […] So Wikipedia has been in the news a lot the past few days following John Seigenthaler’s USA Today column, and the Times has even warned its reporters against using it “to check any information that goes into the newspaper.” I use Wikipedia a lot. An awful lot. To check information that goes into my paper. […] The latest Rundown is up Elyssa and I are getting together for brunch after the Kleinerman 10K on Sunday, and thought we’d invite all the other NYC running bloggers. (You don’t have to run the race to come). We’ll be at the Metro Diner, W. 100th and Broadway, around 10:45 a.m. Yesterday was the annual DN holiday auction; one of the librarians was there taking photos and snapped these two of me. I was outbid for all the Broadway shows, but did pick up two seats for the off-Broadway play “Mr. Marmalade.” Anyone know if it’s any good? […] So my new pad is just 17 blocks from work, about a 15- to 20-minute walk. Great in the summer, but winter is on its way. I’m basically walking south on Tenth Avenue, so there are no subways nearby. I could take the bus on Ninth Ave., but Ninth gets gummed up with Lincoln […] We don’t do a whole lot of long investigative pieces … but when we do they can be really really good. (I had absolutely no role in in this). Here’s the first of a big investigation our I-team did on the $21.4 billion money trough: The 9/11 tragedy brought out the best in most of […] I can’t find my story on Katrina pets being put up for adoption on my paper’s website, but it made the KRT wire and is on some other papers’ sites. Adoptions to begin for pets rescued during Hurricane Katrina BY DEREK ROSE New York Daily News NEW YORK — Time is running out for reunions […] I just received the Nikes I’ll be product-testing for the next 12 weeks. I’m pretty much sworn to secrecy, so suffice it to say that they look cool and I’m glad I signed up. Nike is currently accepting applications for running-shoe product testers here. So apparently the Times has decided that reporters from different papers getting together for a few (or many) beers is news? Corey Kilgannon and a photographer were there tonight. Actually there was a pretty good turnout, with reporters from all the major papers along with the Staten Island Advance and NY1. I was among the […] Via A Socialite’s Life, hear Paris sing. It’s, um, pretty bad. My friend Todd Seavey was featured in a story in NY Magazine: Editor Todd Seavey, 36, is vehemently opposed to having children. He feels so strongly about it that he had a vasectomy at 26. “If I bring it up on the first date, it can be off-putting. If I bring it up a few […] Not that I would do anything like this… |
