Lost Time Is Not Found Again is what the MPS blog crew has been reading today. Maybe.

+ Alex Smith levels Greg Ellis. {Second-String Football.}

+ Billy Gillispie was out golfing last night at 2:45 am. Oh, and he was arrested for a DUI suspicion, too. {The Dagger.}

+ Non-sports: An Irish Budweiser campaign shot on the CTA with the Beatles as the soundtrack. {Ringo Knows Best.} Watch out for those flash floods today, y’all. {Chicago Breaking News.}

Quotable:

“How it is that people continue to think of baseball’s PED rules — which, at their heart, are no different from the work rules in your employee manual — are more important than the Constitutional rights of Americans is beyond me, but there you have it. Don’t feel sorry for A-Rod that he was betrayed by his union and fell victim to illegal acts by government agents! He was ‘roiding, and we all have a right to know about that!

Of course oftentimes justice delayed is justice denied, and that’s certainly what we have here. Because years passed between the seizure and the court’s final ruling of its illegality, the list was able to be created and the leaks able to be leaked. In light of that, yesterday’s ruling is of little practical help to the ballplayers’ whose names appear there. Someone still knows the names, and given that they’ve already leaked some of them in violation of a court order, there is no reason to believe that this ruling will stop them from continuing to do so.

Hopefully, however, we will all have a new appreciation for just how outrageous such leaks are, and treat the inevitable release of additional names with an appropriate level of skepticism and disdain.” – Craig Calcaterra
