Fall is upon us (where was Summer?)  and like the annual turn of the seasons, other things seem that they will always be with us.

Jamie Moyer? He fully intends to pitch next year and Gillick thinks he can. What would be the book on it happening in Vegas?

Halloween? coming soon, and it will bring its usual panoply of appalling costume ideas and clever ones ...  best (or worst) costume you have ever seen, or worn?  I was fond of my Spanish Inquisition costume, because a) nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition and b) it fulfilled the 3 Essentials: you could sit wearing it, you could eat wearing it, and you could use the bathroom without getting trapped.
