Art Howe, a good man, solid baseball man, but, at the same time, a dead man walking, was a sound bite of &quot;no comment&quot; last night at Shea as he faced the media hordes, grilling him on the report in yesterday&#39;s editions of the Daily News that had him fired

Take more pitches. Draw more walks. Hit more grounders. For years, Jimmy Rollins heard the same criticism from people who said he's not a prototypical leadoff hitter. Try dissing J-Roll now.

The campaigning is over. Talk of bubble teams and RPIs, quality wins and quality losses can be put away for another year.

Manager Art Howe met with New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon and general manager Jim Duquette yesterday, one day after saying if the team planned to fire him, it should do it now. &quot;When something should be announced, it will be announced,&quot; Howe said. &quot;Nothing is being disclosed at this time. I take it one day at a time. It's ...

Today will come and go without fanfare in Brooklyn, and maybe that's the way it should be. Who wants to remember the end to one of the great stories in baseball?

Up next for the Mets, losers of four in a row, in this tour through the N.L. East contenders is Atlanta, which would like nothing more than to peck away, too.

They talk about them all the time on the news shows, every day the major Presidential candidates have conference calls with reporters. It seems much of the real action in the campaign happens here, but we (voters, taxpayers, citizens)  have no access. I listened to an MP3 of one of the calls, with the chief strategist and communications director of the Clinton campaign. It was fascinating, gave me a picture of how the press and the candidates relate that I had never seen before.  Now I want more -- I want it all!  I've been asking around, where can I get MP3s of all the conference calls, the day they happen, in full, not spun through the reporters, and so far have come up with nothing. So I'm bringing this issue to as many people as I can think of who might either know how I can get them, or apply pressure to one or more news organizations to make them public. I'd of course like to see them made available as an RSS 2.0 feed with enclosures, so it will be accessible to everyone with a podcast client. I would help create this, even host the feed if necessary. Anyone at a major media organization would have access to this content. I'm pretty sure it's all on the record. Any help would be much appreciated.
