Tony's Top 5

Major league stadiums (Outside of Boston)

5
Kauffman Stadium. Water fountains and easy access to both clubhouses. One of the more underrated stops on tour.
4
Safeco Field. Revolutionized stadium art with sushi, a retractable roof, and actual power alleys. No cheap homers allowed.
3
Wrigley Field. Have to admit: Watching a game there feels like a journey in time. Is that how outsiders see Fenway?
2
Yankee Stadium. Haven't been to the new place yet, but no better atmosphere in baseball. Never a shortage of intensity.
1
Camden Yards. The playing field is too small, but it set the standard for modern stadium construction. Great setup for fans.

Tony's Top 5

NFL power rankings

5
Broncos. OK, we’re convinced. Kyle Orton is now 26-12 in his career as a starter. Josh McDaniels looks like a real coach. And the defense is much improved.
4
Saints. Went into Philly and beat the Eagles, went into New York and beat the Jets. Better defense than we thought. Right?
3
Vikings. If you’re a Vikes fan, Brett Favre should scare you come playoff time. But in the regular season? So far, so good.
2
Colts. Don’t look now, but only three teams in the NFL have allowed fewer points than Indy. And have we mentioned the quarterback?
1
Giants. They can run, pass and play defense. And did we mention they’re well-coached? Who needs Plaxico?

Sox pitching depth hits bottom
The real reason for concern is that key pieces of the 04 and 07 winning teams are old and rusty. Ortiz, Lowell, Varitek. Is there a baseball "Cash for Clunkers" program? Trade them in for new models.

'Big Papi' revealed as a myth
Wow....no sugar coating here, huh Tony? It is bitterly disappointing to confirm what I think most honest Red Sox fans must have at least suspected. Does it change anything? Not really. Again no honest Red Sox fan really believed none of the Home Town players were involved with this, did they? Baseball could have ended this whole story years ago by just making "The List" public. Instead, it will continue to trickle out over the next 10 years and we'll never get past this.
