    They will do anything to keep the Mets off of the front and back pages.

    CNN reporting it was registered to him and Verducci reporting the Yankees said he was supposed to take off to fly home at that time.

    It's ahrd for me to imagine that Lidle wasn't on the plane.

    CNN reporter has been reading verbatim from a NY Times feature on Lidle and his 95-hour pilot experience. No credit given.

    If there are four people in the plane, it's entirely possible there was another ballplayer or two from California on board. Holy moley.

    Jeremy Schapp on ESPN saying Lidle was piloting it, one other person killed was in the apartment.
