The world of sports has seen many changes since the ink dried on the last printing of The State Press.
Pucks will be dropping like leaves again this fall, Rafael Palmeiro has cleared waivers from the Baltimore Orioles and the Kansas City Royals tasted victory for the first time in three weeks.
We here at the sports section have endorsed the money ball theory and will be trimming some under-producing segments from the lineup such as Friday's sportswriter picks.
Rest assured The State Press will remain solely devoted to ASU sports and collegiate athletics. Sorry Cardinals fans, whoever you are.
Unnecessary Cluffness on Tuesdays and Mark it down on Fridays will join Wednesday's Hump Day Hoopla in providing biting commentary and insight.
Expectations are running high for many ASU teams, and my staff and I pledge to rock out with our socks out like Red Sox starter Curt Schilling in game six of the 2004 American League championship series, in order to provide you with news that won't be found anywhere else.
