...seventh inning the 2-to-1 game had turned into a 9-to-1 game. I forget who was winning. It may have been the team of scrappy overachievers with nine players who make more than $13 million per year. The math I was interested in was $112. Impressive for a one-man eating band, but the Yankees were still making a killing on my ticket. Bloat was setting in, and as I stuffed three more bags of peanut M&Ms ($15) in my pockets on the way out, I felt a little depressed...
...want to know whether the banking crisis is in the third inning or the ninth, consider Corus Bankshares. The Chicago regional bank has made just over $4 billion in commercial real estate loans. The recently completed government bank stress tests assumed that as many as 12% of all such loans could go bad in the next two years. So Corus is looking at a potential loss of $480 million.

The team played in three games that went to extra innings, and won each time.The Crimson’s inherent aversion to defeat spread from its seniors to the rest of the team. Stack-Babich and Matt Rogers combined...
...Crimson’s 2009 campaign had to offer.There were the all too familiar pitching and defensive breakdowns that prevented Harvard from positioning itself among the Ivy League’s elite and contending for the Rolfe Division title this season.But there were also the offensive outbursts and late-inning rallies that pulled the Crimson out of the Rolfe basement and marked it as a team that could never be counted out of a game, no matter how daunting of a deficit it faced.Yesterday, Harvard’s redeeming qualities were just enough to compensate for its most noticeable flaws...
