To News or Not to News

I'm not sure if this is news or not, but Curt Schilling announced that he's pretty close to retiring. I think that the biggest news is not that he made the announcement, but that our local sports leader, the Boston Globe -- the Boston Globe that just announced two hirings to bolster its online presence -- failed to pick up on a story that's breaking online.

The best part of all of this? New Globe hire Chad Finn -- of the excellent Touching All the Bases -- will only be blogging "Monday through Friday" for the Globe. Good thing nothing in the world of sports happens on the weekend.
