Mets Fever (Free subscription) | 3 hours ago
The Mets entered last off-season with the goal of trading Luis Castillo and when their efforts failed to move him, they entered the season with him as their starting 2B. But a year later in which Castillo put up stellar table setter numbers, played the entire season healthy and is only owed 12MM over two more years the team seemed optimistic about their chances of moving him. Clearly the Mets are trying...

We identify the marginal effect of religious identity on economic choices by measuring how laboratory subjects’ choices change when their religious identity is made salient to them. We find that Protestantism increases contributions to public goods, and there is suggestive evidence that it increases reciprocity in a labor market gift-exchange game. Catholicism decreases contributions to public...

After a fine start to the season, Samp are falling down, it was long time since they last scored, defeat, or better shipwreck against Juventus killed their confidence. You would remember we spoke about Del Neri’s greatest risk and his team’s greatest weakness. Simply, they rely too much on Cassano.

Here's a stumper. How the hell do you do fix a soccer game, anyway? Try not to score? The front page of today's "New York Times" tells me that 15 people have been arrested in Germany for fixing a whole bunch of soccer matches, including a few Champions League fixtures (if you're not familiar with the sport, that's fixing the highest level of European competition, roughly akin to a bag job...

The idea of Chapman calling others amateurs is amusing. P.J. O’Rourke wrote a National Lampoon column about how amateur drunks throw up on other people’s shoes. In Champan’s case, it would be other people’s rose bushes. That’s us, in 2000, at my house in Guelph. He barfed in the bushes. But Chapman, food safety specialist and assistant professor of food science at North...
