Here’s what the St. Louis Post-Dispatch has to say about the National League Championship Series, which begins tonight. I’ve got my Mets shirt on, by the way, which has worked well so far during this post season.

Poor Tom Kean Jr. He just gets no love for his position on Iraq. Then again, given that he’s consistently avoided talking to military families about his support for the war and the president’s lack of a plan, what was he expecting?

Dennis Hastert today vowed accountability in the Foley scandal:
Mr. Hastert, speaking to journalists in Aurora, Ill., in a question-and-answer session that illustrated how the Foley scandal is pushing other issues onto the sidelines, said he believed his assistants had handled the Foley affair “as well as they should.”
“However, in 20-20 hindsight, probably you could do everything a little bit better,” the speaker continued. “But if there is a problem, if there was a cover-up, then we should find that out through the investigation process.”
He said he first learned of Mr. Foley’s interest in former pages, and his e-mail messages to them, “last Friday. That was the first information that I had about it.” By “last Friday,” Mr. Hastert apparently meant Sept. 29, the day Mr. Foley abruptly resigned his seat after the explosive revelations of his sexually suggestive e-mails.
Mr. Hastert noted that the episode is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the House Ethics Committee. Anyone queried will be under oath “and we’ll find out,” he said. “If they did cover something up, then they should not continue to have their jobs.”
Does this mean he has to fire himself?

Opponents of Route 92 do have a right to feel like the Detroit Tigers. We were given no chance of prevailing, but — as the editorial in today’s Packet shows — we have knocked off the big boys, defeated the special interests and preserved a bit of sanity in the region.
There’s still work to do — we should get Bill Baroni and Linda Greenstein to take the highway away from the Turnpike and put the final stake in its heart.
