Elizabeth Billings, Wall of Ancestors (detail), 1988, from the 14th Biennale, Lausanne, Switzerland. The postcard is from Lynn Berkowitz.
Today: 30th anniversary of the shooting of John Lennon. Regards to Yoko Ono.
First the Phillies cleared space yesterday on their 40-man roster by releasing minor league pitchers Johan Flande and Jesus Sanchez. (The latter was the last player left from the trade that sent Bobby Abreu away.) Then the rumors about about re-acquiring (oh no) Aaron Rowand from the Giants started to buzz. Except for his face-breaking moment out in center, I was never a big fan of this guy and it doesn't thrill me that he basically lost his job last season with the Giants.
