Vitters about to get more playing time

Tough recognizing the Cubs these days
Most of the Cubs' call-ups are guys I've seen at one point or another in spring training, but occasionally, a player will slip through the cracks like Brooks Raley. Prior to his debut in San Diego, if he had walked right up to me on the street, I would have had no idea who he was.

Daly captured his first city crown with a steady performance to win the match-play format 4-3, up four holes with three left, over Patten, whose putter failed him on 3 critical short putts during the round.

Increasing stereotypes threaten European unity
Maybe the problem is those southerners lolling in the Mediterranean sun who overspent and tax-dodged their way to ruin. Or maybe it's the northerners, rigid beyond reason, so gloomy in their own lives that they're determined to see the southerners suffer. "National resentments in Europe are rising to dramatic levels," said Vincent Forest, a London-based economist with the Economist Intelligence Unit. "By taking so much time in solving the economic crisis, the Europeans are creating a political and social crisis."
