Leading Off (10/8/10)

1. If you’re a Rangers fan, and you have tickets for Sunday’s playoff game, at this point do you feel conflicted about Saturday’s game now that they’re up by two? If the Rangers win, they move on, but you don’t get to see the win. It’s like Sophie’s Choice for baseball.

2. Yesterday, I mentioned Andy Moreno’s quest to be homecoming queen. But now I think I should point everyone to  this story in the Dallas Voice, which gives a better picture of her family, her school life, and her friends.

3. Remember how the city wanted to close down all the scrap yards and such near the Trinity so they could have pretty developments, but the scrap yard owners were verklempt? Well, it turns out that equal parts common sense, unacceptable ratings for levees, and bad economy have worked in the scrap yard owners’ favor.

4. Grits for Breakfast notes that the three-judge panel involved in the disciplinary proceedings for Judge Sharon Keller will rule today on her motion to dismiss the warning she received regarding the Michael Richard case.

5. Today’s earworms? Well, they all have something in common. If you can figure out what, you win exactly nothing, or maybe your wildest dreams will come true. Happy Friday, everyone, and have a good weekend. Take it easy.

  2. 1 – yes, definitely conflicted! i have game 4 tix and would love to see them win this series in person, but if the rangers win tomorrow, then i wouldn’t have to hurry back from ACL :)
    hopefully they give you refunds if you bought the tix on stub hub? (not to jinx it!)

  5. Did anyone else find it strange that Dallas’ only daily ran a front page story that portrayed the “scrap yard owners” in a fairly positive way, and then ran an editorial denouncing the very ordinance that the front page story seemed to tout?

  6. Like a Sophie’s Choice for baseball? That just doesn’t seem right.

  7. Now, if we can just get that victory parade scheduled…

    Too soon?
