Price: about $5.50 for powder; about $3.70 for spray. Read more Checkpoints here...

If Tampa Bay can survive the indignity of changing its name from the Devil Rays to exorcise the stink of failure, and Philadelphia can bounce back from the shame of losing the 1993 World Series to Canadians, there's promise for our subprime nation. Rooting for these teams represents the triumph of hope over experience--and that's as American as baseball...
