    Nearly 90 minutes after the end of the Sprint Cup race and all they've moved is a 300-word extended brief with no quotes. Took them an hour to send results. I've adjusted and sent my pages, but I still had to come up with 150 words of brilliant bullshit to fill the space.

    That's Gary B. Graves for ya. He pulls the same shit when he's covering Kentucky sports.

    In the baseball leaders files, AP has Fernando Rodney and Brad Ziegler still with their former teams. In Ziegler's case, the wrong league.

    Rodney got traded nearly two weeks ago.

    Wouldn't that be correct for Ziegler, since the stats don't carry over to his new league?

    I'd think he should still be listed among the leaders in the NL with his NL numbers.

    Correct. Recall Willie McGee winning the NL batting title a few moons ago despite being traded to Oakland late in the season.

    More AP goodness: Barclays golf starts today. It's the playoffs and we had a large section, so we go with a golf roundup. AP budget indicates photos will be available. Uh, not quite. We call the photo desk around 8:30 p.m. to see why no photos have moved. Desker apologizes, said they aren't shooting it until Sunday. Said he told his bosses it was stupid. Somebody added photos to the budget by mistake.

    AP Exchange goes into the dustbin of history Monday, so live it up this weekend.

    Wonder why it hung around four months longer than promised? For whatever reason, I'm grateful.

    If I could get Old Style in the PNW, I'd pour down a few in its honor ... :)

    I think they've kept it around while they trained everybody on the new site. It was always "going away soon." The e-mail they sent out this week was the first time I'd actually seen a firm date.

    What is the new site? We finally got AP Exchange logins a few months ago.

    They've been sending out all kinds of e-mails to set up training sessions. Your AP Exchange login will work on the new site.
