Woodman Two-Hitter Beats Saints, 4-0. Good pitching by Woodman, but also weak bats from the Saints. I wonder whether their flurry of hits Saturday night used up the spark, or perhaps it was the celebration after Saturday’s game that was the problem. Either way, they lost their second home series of the season, and when trailing Schaumburg (who beat the Saints in this series) and Winnipeg (who come into town tonight) in the second-half race, we need to get be winning at home, not losing. Yes, I know the Saints are already in the playoffs and don’t have to win the second half, but if they don’t strt winning games more reliably, they won’t get past the first round of the playoffs.

Tristan Louis is Uncovering a Spammer, and finds that there’s some shady business going on (shock! horror!). Specifically, the spammer is selling their list of email addresses harvested from the web to clients as an opt-in list. I think it’s time to hold these companies’ feet to the fire. The spammers are going to keep doing shady stuff like this as long as companies pay them. [doc]
