Sopranoland

New York Magazine has gone crazy for "The Sopranos" this week. Seek a copy in a bookstore near you or read their Season 6 preview articles here and here, then the tragic story of actor Lillo Brancato Jr., in his own words, here.

Staying in the true crime genre (You: Were we in it?), here's a little-told story from the recent pasts of new Cardinals' infielder Aaron Miles and Astros' All-Star 3B Morgan Ensberg.

I'll gladly eat my words from a couple weeks ago if the "Arrested Development"/Showtime deal comes off. How much do you trust TV blogs? The New York Post reports rumors of a 26-episode order.

Why in the world is Major League Baseball inducting 17 Negro League players and executives into the Hall of Fame in the same year? I'm not against their inclusion, mind you, and I have no doubt that they're all worthy candidates who have theoretically waited long enough. But let's spread out the enshrinements over a period of years so we can get a chance to know each one of them and their individual accomplishments. They're all dead already, anyway. Nobody's waiting by the phone.

That Miles/Ensberg story is crazy. Am I the only one who never heard that story? Seems like it should have been a bigger deal than it was.

I know they rarely have paparazzi-type stalkers, but pro athletes are easy targets and I can completely understand when they freak out when psycho fans act out, like at the "Fracas at Fenway" and the "Malice at the Palace".
