Incompetent. 1. Boston Red Sox. They outhit the Phillies 14-13 this afternoon, but committed 4 errors and left 11 men on base and lost 9-2. Thank goodness the Mets beat the Yankees 9-3. Don't look now, Tito, but the Devil Rays are gaining in your rear-view mirror.

2. George W. Bush. According to Irish journalist Carol Coleman: "The policy of the White House is that you submit your questions in advance, so they had my questions for about three days." ... Three full days to practice before every press conference -- and he still can't form a coherent answer to anything.
