First Pitch

POTUS and the great Willie Mays at the 2009 All-Star Game in St. Louis, where the unemployment rate was 8.8% in May

(AP) ... Filled with pride on the night of a historic election that made Obama the nation's first black president, Willie Mays said he stayed up until 7 or 8 o'clock the next morning.

"I reminded him that I cried for most of the night in Chicago," said Mays, still emotional as he spoke about that night eight months ago.

"So that tells me all the things I went through, it was for good things," said Mays, who wore an orange-trimmed, black Giants baseball cap with his suit. "So I'm just proud of him, you know. He may be proud of something else. But I'm proud of him, what he stands for.

Mays said his one bit of advice to Obama for the night's pitch was:

"Follow through."

Caching Up

Yeah I know it was days ago, but here's what went down last weekend on the mighty Chesapeake:



Without ever getting an answer about what became of Liquid Assets I, we climbed aboard Liquid Assets II



We hauled in some of these



We did this to them, which got us good intel and kept the nation safe.



We were all pleasantly surprised that we did not have to scurry onto the orange thing, Save Your Assets II
