Well, it's official. Baseball is over for the season.

Sure, there are games to be played. And, in some small way, I'll be rooting for the upstart Rays or Joe Torre's Dodgers to send the dastardly Red Sox home without a World Series title. But once Yankees and Cubs were knocked out, the season was really over for me.

And there always next year, right?

The Yanks have some big decisions to make over the coming months. Whether Jason Giambi, Bobby Abreu, Mike Mussina or Andy Pettitte return is a mystery. I think you could count on Pettitte coming back. Mussina's 50-50. Abreu should come back...

I've always been intrigued by the thought of life on other planets. That very question turned the A I should have received in a college history class to a C, and I still maintain, about 15 years later, that I was on the right side of the argument.

My esteemed professor had begun an off-topic monologue, chastising anyone who believed in aliens or UFOs (how it related to global history, I've yet to determine) and said man has made up the idea of extra-terrestrials as hope that some day we'll all be rescued by aliens. It was stupid, he told his rather dumbfounded class, to even entertain the idea that there was intelligent life on other planets.

I couldn't keep quiet...
