Two-for-One Sunday Special: Boring Baseball, Thrilling Tabloids

Thanks to the miracle of held-over copy, I'm in Sunday papers at both ends of the Acela today. This must be what it feels like to be Parade Magazine.

In the Boston Globe, I'm explaining why the most boring thing in baseball is ball two. (Reader reactions: "snore"..."This Journalism 101 attempt...fails utterly.")

In the Washington Post, I'm praising the National Enquirer. (Reader reactions: "The author is as sleezy as the tabloids are"..."With the Obamatons hell-bent to bring back the 'fairness doctrine' there will no longer be dirt on any 'liberal' type politician.")
