I see the "Hot Topic" (a great store for T-shirts, BTW) section is back. It hadn't been working for me for a couple days.

The Hot Topics list should be back in proper working order on friday night. The job that updates it runs from a pc in my apartment, but Im in Montreal this week and the box seems to have got itself disconnected from the net.

Hey, I got in! At least for a moment; expect intermittent downtime to continue for a while, depending on where you live. Thanks to Dave (and Mick) for posting these messages of explanation, and to BB readers for their understanding. We know Jays fans are patient; they got through April.

Mike, as Gwyn says, the Hot Topics function has been plagued by a separate glitch for a couple of days, but there's a workaround. To manually refresh the list, click here. Ignore the resulting page; just click Back on your browser. Then refresh the main page and the sidebar should be up to date.

Dave gets thanks and I get (parenthesized)???

May the glove of Keith Moreland and the arm of Mickey Rivers afflict your favorite outfielder.

Mick, I hope you will forgive my inappropriate punctuation. It may be too late to lift the curse, which seems to be retroactive -- my favourite OF is Juan Rivera.
