So once again with the disappearing. In short: I was largely drunk and unproductive late last week, sober and somewhat productive this weekend--until my disaster of a fantasy draft (not my team, but the process--drafting a keeper league on Yahoo! is fraught with fraughtness), and I have my big oral argument for the semester in 4 hours, after which I'm basically done with Legal Practice, a two-credit pass-fail 900-pound-gorilla of a class.

In honor of true opening day, here's my favorite opening day item, ESPN.com's National League potential milestones of 2005. For some younger teams they're really desparate to get to three or four; my favorite is that Desi Relaford is 8 RBI away from 300. We're pulling for you, dude!
