Their prison without bars

Pete Rose has some gall selling autographed baseballs inscribed with the words "I'm sorry I bet on baseball." He says he's not making any money on the 30 balls that showed up at an auction house in New York, but I don't believe him. Rose is always out to make a buck. Everything he signs, every appearance he makes, it's all plotted with one thing in mind-- the almighty dollar. And Rose reveals no shame about it whatsoever. He'll pimp himself out for any cash he can get his hands on. Baseball and its Hall of Fame should be for real heroes of the Major Leagues. No more chances for Rose-- he's just sleaze. He'll never learn.

We'll return with the DHL Delivery of the Day and the results of the Mastercard Hometown Heroes promotion as the Ameritrade Pre-game show rolls on from AT&T Park. First, a word from Holiday Inn. Holiday Inn. Look again.

If Ford and General Motors merge, what will become of all the bumper stickers depicting Calvin urinating on their emblems? They'll be out of date quicker than my Fallon for Governor sticker.

Quote of the day: Democratic candidate for President Mark Warner, former Virginia governor, to members of the Greater Des Moines Partnership on his party's alienation of the wealthy, "I think the Kerry campaign missed something. Even though the Bush tax cuts only applied to 2% of Americans, what I think the Kerry campaign missed was that the other 98 percent of Americans still aspired to get to the point in their life where they could qualify for the tax cuts."

Paging Mr. Nader. Counselor Nader, report to the scorer's table.
