This past weekend, the Notre Dame baseball team did its best Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde impression, shutting Pittsburgh out 3-0 twice on Friday, but blowing two run leads in the bottom of the ninth in each of its two games against Virginia Tech on Saturday losing 3-2 and 9-8.
- Rodriguez's contract defies spirit of baseball (Jeff Baltruzak Assistant Sports Editor)
The Texas Rangers will pay shortstop Alex Rodriguez $252 million over the next 10 years. For $25 million a year, you'd think they would have Bill Gates digging ground-ers out of the hole or at least Bill Clinton.

Inside
- Dining Hall Etiquette (By Matt Orenchuk Assistant Web Administrator)
Here I sit at the Observer trying to think of a topic for my inside column. Now, I know there are several different ways I could go with this. Maybe I should talk about W's tax plan, or maybe the Mir crashing back to Earth.
Viewpoint
- Wanna play Mario Kart? (Molly Strzelecki Growing Up to be a Kid)
Listen, this is how it goes, and this is how I have accepted it for the past four years. There are two, maybe three types of relationship statuses at Saint Mary's and Notre Dame:
- Blaming tool for the actions of its user (John Litle sophomore)
I would like to address Melissa Beiting's letter yesterday. Throughout the meanderings of her response to Scott Brodfuehrer's column, which admittedly I did not read, Ms. Beiting professes that administrators of schools should not be blamed for the acts of these teens, and perhaps rightly so.

- Students address building plan concerns Unionized workers a Catholic issue (Julie Hodek senior)
As a member of the Notre Dame-Saint Mary's and South Bend Community, I am deeply troubled by Saint Mary's College's decision to contract the construction of a new maintenance facility to Majority Builders. Saint Mary's has awarded this project to a company that has consistently undermined the rights and dignity of its workers in paying substandard wages.

- G. Love and Special Sauce to serve up a treat at ND (By TIM BODONY Scene Music Critic)
The novelty of commending a band or performer that blends seemingly disparate styles has worn off by now. Such a process is practically as old as music itself. A truly unique artist nowadays would be one that is easily classifiable, drawing influence solely from one genre, and never leaving the confines of that genre in his or her own music.
