Baumbach is live blogging a Congressional hearing.
It gets weirder by the minute.
Did I mention that I wrote my first article as a full-time, professional sportswriter longhand in a Las Vegas hotel room, called Anchorage collect and dictated it to my editor?
Sigh.

Russo: Can that Welch pipe down! Those guys in the Army cannot sit on their fannies and think that they are not suspicous characters Mike.
Francessa: Yeah dog, I really think that the Army cannot act like they are beyond reproach in this matter. I gotta to tell ya Dog, Cohn has not done a good job in this case, he's done a GREAT job with this case.
Russo: He has, he has. McCarthy's out there all fiesty too. Wished we had him here in Connecticut.
Francessa: Now if they nail anybody in the Army it would be ha-yooge. Sure nailing a couple of actors and Hollywood-types is fine.......
Russo: Now who were some of those Hollywood guys? Anybody we know.
Francessa: I don't know, Dog. I'll check the names. Maybe they were on movies Roger from New Haven gave us.
Russo: Well in that case, those tapes should be burned! I'm sorry but those are outta here! Right with the tapes of the Cory Lidle interview! What a disgrace! The people up there, those Reds, are not even a pimple on anybody's family. That's a fact! Bad job outta the Army for not cooperating.
Francessa: I agree. So 'bout those Giants dog.
Russo: Oh Mike, Dark's been unbelievable this year. Antonelli, let me tell ya about Antonelli. He's been better than Whitey this season, Yankee fans. Look it up! Those numbas are excellent. Excellent job out of Antonelli. Durocher's been fiesty and.....
Francessa: What about the kid? Mays......
Russo: Mike, he can be a little hard to take. Something bothas me about him, Mike. Some element of his game.
Francessa: He's been great. Not good, GREAT!
Russo: Yeah, I know.
Francessa: Now Mr. Russo would you say this is the year you guys break through, win the pennant, and be the bridesmaid for the New Yawk Yankees?
Russo: Mike I gotta tell you, it's been 21 years since we last won. At this rate they will not win one in my lifetime. My children will probably never see one either.
Francessa: Who's watching though. You guys cannot sell out the Polo Grounds.
Russo: I know, what a disgrace! Some great baseball out there and the New York Giants fan has not distinguished themselves this season going to games. I know the place is a dump but can people get their fannies out there? Great baseball is being played.
Francessa: It's a Yankee town, Dog. Nobody will ever dispute that.
Russo: Cannot argue with that Mike. He look it's Heussler? Still moping around about his Dodgers firing Dressen. How's it looking out for you with that Alston guy, Bobby?
Francessa: Hey, Mr. Dodger! Are those Bums still in the pennat race?
