Like most people do this time of year, The Commish is taking a one week vacation off from writing his News & Notes column. The Commish would like to thank everyone for gracefully allowing him this time off without comment (well without much comment at least) and would also like to thank each and everyone of you for putting in a claim for Rich Harden this past week.

Do vote in this week's poll in which we try to predict what will be the biggest story of the 2nd half of the Full Monty season and please come back next week for the return of the regular News & Notes column. Thank you.
