Congrats to Cardinal pitcher Matt Morris on his 100th career win! Last night was a close one but Chris Carpenter did not recieve the loss. With the win today, Tony LaRussa is two wins away from Sparky. Larry Walker was activated today and Mike Mahoney was sent down to Memphis in order to make room for him on the roster.
The Red Sox have had more home runs from catchers and designated hitters than any other team in baseball. Boston leads the AL east by four games as of this morning. Tomorrow, Jon Papelbon will try again for his first MLB win.
A short article on the story behind Secretary of State Trey Grayson. I've met him and he seems like a nice guy.
The last article for the Kentucky Post from Amanda York was a good one. While I've gotten photos with all but two officials from Frankfort, you can get one with all but one but it would be of cardboard cut outs at the fair.
Who would have guessed? Ernie Fletcher and Robert Taft III must know how each other feels. Both administrations are suffering from scandals.
Taft, the Republican governor from Ohio who championed ethics rules to his subordinates, pleaded no contest this week and was convicted and fined for not reporting numerous golf outings and other gifts (52 in all) as governor.I'll see ya in the morning.
Fletcher, the Republican governor from Kentucky who vowed to change the culture of patronage and favoritism in Frankfort, is facing increasing pressure from an investigation into his administration's hiring practices. Nine officials thus far have been indicted on charges of violating the system set up to separate politics and state government jobs, and two have resigned. Fletcher himself has been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury. In Ohio, three of Taft's aides have resigned in ethics investigations similar to his.
Among the developments in the Kentucky probe this week: GOP Senate President David Williams criticized Fletcher's handling of the probe. Newspaper stories detailed e-mails in which Fletcher's aides (including Dick Murgatroyd of Kenton County) seemed to concede that laws were being broken. A circuit court judge blasted state officials for failing to turn over those e-mails to the attorney general when asked. And a handwritten note was found suggesting that Murgatroyd, who is among those indicted, steered a Merit System job to a Fletcher supporter and created another job for another one.
