...this year, 13th among the 30 teams in the league. Out went sluggers Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Lee. In came speedy outfielders Jermaine Dye and Scott Podsednik, a career minor leaguer, as well as catcher A.J. Pierzynski, whose abrasive personality produces sparks on the field. Pitchers Freddy Garcia and Jose Contreras were acquired last year, and with starters Mark Buehrle and Jon Garland have formed a postseason fantastic four. They'll have to be way above average against the pitching-rich Astros, which feature 20-game winner Roy Oswalt, plus legends Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte...
TAPAS: A TASTE OF SPAIN IN AMERICA/ JOSE ANDRES At his seven Washington restaurants, chef Andrés is famed for serving fantastical avant-garde cuisine. But in his first book he focuses on the small plates of his native Spain. The croquetas, crab-filled cherry tomatoes, artichokes sauteed with ham and gazpacho explained here are more accessible to the everyday cook than, say, his foie gras cotton candy, but they're almost as fantastic...
...Most of the capacity crowd over 10,000 strong at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas last Saturday hadn't even come to see Chavez fight Johnson. They were there for the co-main events: Sugar Shane Mosley versus Jose Luis Cruz and Marco Antonio Barerra versus Robbie Peden. The Chavez/Johnson fight was the undercard.

Shao's site openly aped eBay in style and content, effectively screaming "buy me" at the San Jose, California, giant. In 2002 eBay complied, paying $30 million for a third of the company and taking the rest for an additional $150 million the following year. This, arguably, was a hefty price for a start-up in a market in its infancy, but that was hardly the point. China...
Assessing san antonio Archbishop Jose Gomez's clout, his former boss Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput says enthusiastically, "He gets listened to in the state of Texas and in the U.S. Bishops' Conference. He gets listened to in Rome. And I think he'll be listened to by the Federal Government when it comes to immigration law." Last year, Gomez was a humble auxiliary bishop working for Chaput in Denver. But in December, Pope John Paul II leapfrogged the low-key 53-year-old over hundreds of diocesan bishops into the San Antonio, Texas, seat-and the center of American Catholicism...
