    make sure you get a tour guide. they will drive you around and show you a lot of things that are just kind of buried all around the area. You will be impressed with how perfect they keep that place for those boys. I swear there wasn't a blade of grass out of place. 

    That's on my radar.  Taking the train from Paris then picking up the tour.

    We flew into Paris last month and a young guy next to me said he was going strictly to visit Normandy. He was a WWII buff in his 20’s and he was thrilled to get to visit such an important and historic site. I loved his appreciation and dedication. 

    I'm not sure how my emotions will hold up.  I will have just completed a 300 mile bike ride, finishing in Paris the day before the Tour winds up in Paris.

    How does the logistics of the paper being printed in Cleveland and then being delivered to Buffalo homes early in the morning even work? 

    The Columbus Dispatch is printed in Indy.  Information has to be into the printer by 400pm in order for it to be delivered in the morning.  So, any late nite local sports is "covered" on line and then a brief follow up the next day.

    Rob Manfred has proposed and made a lot of changes that have thoroughly pissed me off.

     

    But the pitch clock is one change that I am okay with.

     

    The best part about the rule is that it also applies to batter.

     

    Derek Jeter would perform an entire Catholic mass between every single pitch.  It was ridiculous.  

     

    I read an article today in which a pitcher praised the clock.  Players don't like longer games anymore than fans do.

    Nomar was another that took foooreeveer.
