Joe Torre is the new manager of the Dodgers, having agreed to a three year, $13 million contract.

Interestingly enough he doesn't seem to have felt insulted by this contract, which pays far less on an annual basis than the Yankees were offering him. The contract last offered to him by New York was worth $5 million with potential bonuses of $3 million more. Yet this LA contract works out to less than $5 million per year!

Oh well, I won't complain. Welcome back to the NL, Joe Torre!

Picked up component cables for the Wii today. In 480p and widescreen Wii Sports unfortunately still looks bad, though not quite as horrifically bad as it does in 480i and widescreen.

Zelda though looks pretty good, and the Internet Channel looks fantastic. Wii Sports though? Give me a break; that's the worst game in the world to ship with the system for anyone who's going to try it out on a nice television.
