The World Series was more engrossing than...

The scandal du jour in my hometown is that, back in October, a fire department captain invited two strippers and a couple of photographers to a fire station so they could take some photos, in which the women were both fully nude and partially clad in firefighter uniforms.

The Tampa Tribune's in-depth account of the evening says, of the firefighters who were on duty at the fire station that night: "Berwald, Campbell and Layton said they hung around in the truck bay out of curiosity when the women and men arrived. They said they were focused on the World Series, however, and went back to watch television as soon as one woman was completely naked.

"Layton said he later learned one woman wore his uniform pants in the pictures."

Original comments...



thatbob: To be fair, it was a very engrossing World Series, and 80% of firemen are gay. There aren't many other professions where you get paid to lay around the house, lift weights, and gossip - when there isn't a fire, of course.

maura: the scandal du jour in your hometown should be the rays' willingness to give money to denny neagle.

Levi: I was talking to a coworker the other day, and I said, "You know: no matter how much we screw up at work, we can't screw up so that it costs our company $75 over five years like Dave Dombrowski did by signing Magglio." It was a freeing realization.

Not that I don't love Magglio. But the guy is old, and he's going to cost more than Scott Rolen, who's younger and better and plays a tougher position.
