*Waiting for the results
Not much yet about the New Hampshire primary, except that it happened. More tomorrow.
*GOOSE! GOOSE! (But no Hawk)
Congratulations to Rich "Goose" Gossage, whose great pitching career included time for the Chicago White Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Yankees and San Diego Padres, among others. He has been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, deservedly so. He'll join one of his managers, Dick Williams (1984 National League Champion Padres) at the July induction.
But Andre Dawson, the great outfielder for the Montreal Expos and Chicago Cubs who played his last two seasons in a Florida Marlins uniform, didn't get in this year. The sportswriters are saying he "got closer," with roughly 66 percent of the necessary 75 percent. Dawson, nicknamed "The Hawk" in his playing days, should already be there - especially when his stats and dedication are compared to the players from the Steroid Era.
Anyway, Gossage and Williams will get something lots of Hollywood stars won't: A public award at a public forum. Both men will likely write their own speeches, without having to rely on the Writers' Guild.
*.....And no Globes
The Hollywood stars will be just a little more sober this weekend....No Golden Globes because of the writers' strike:

However, lots of people will be hurt.
