...potential problem is that MLB's excellent website, mlb.com, already satisfies this fix for many fans. For $14.95 per month, you can even watch out-of-market games on the site. Plus, despite baseball's overall economic strength, its television ratings dropped like a sinker last season. Fox's regular-season baseball ratings fell 13%, while ESPN's shrunk 7%, and 15 local networks that broadcast baseball saw double-digit ratings declines for their games. The 2008 World Series, between the Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays, was the least watched in history. In that respect, the new network...
...Want My 401(k)! I read Justin Fox's article with horror [Dec. 15]. The basic premise: a government-run pension is more secure than my 401(k). Curiously, I saw no mention of a current government program called Social Security - one the government has handled so expertly I probably will never get to collect from it.

Several teams have managed to put together only one victory in a season, including the 2007 Miami Dolphins and the 2000 San Diego Chargers. But failing...
...signature songs, the bored-with-love "Monotonous." ("I met a rather amusing fool / While on my way to Istanbul. /He bought me the Black Sea for my swimming pool. / Monotonous.") Two years later, Kitt reprised her bits in a filmed version of the show released by 20th Century-Fox. (See pictures of the movies' best loved outfits...
Certainly the number of revelers who share those sentiments is greater than you think: in a 2006 Chicago Tribune poll, 68% of respondents affirmed their belief in a War on Christmas. But while Gibson and FOX colleague Bill O'Reilly have taken the fight against these left-wing Grinches mainstream, theirs is only the latest skirmish in a battle that's been going on for hundreds of years. The front lines of the War on Christmas were originally manned by none other than the Puritans - and not on the side many conservative news anchors might think. Objecting to the yuletide...
