Travel Observation #20 : Hotels, motels and casitas that proudly claim to offer their guests a high-speed wireless internet connection are quite often wholly unable to actually deliver on that promise. While in New Mexico, 95% of my Red Sox news has come in the form of a final score only. So I know that they have pissed away any chance they might have once possessed to win the East.

Reports have surfaced that Dodgers minor league infielder, Tony Abreu will be the player to be named later in the Jon Garland trade. We caught up with the play-by-play man, Robert Portnoy, of the Albuquerque Isotopes to get some perspective on Abreu. He’s a tremendous player, terrific person. Great hitter, from both sides.

Cabrera allowed 4 hits and 6 runs while walking three in one inning of work in an 8-4 loss. Former ASU slugger Mitch Jones hit a grand slam off of Cabrera [...]

I think that the Crespin court is correct in its assertion in paragraph 13 that “the question before us concerns the concept of breach of duty.” New Mexico is one of the many states to adopt a form of comparative negligence, yet courts still draw on assumption of risk in baseball foul ball (or in this case a fair ball hit into a picnic area during batting practice) cases.
