I haven’t been a practicing attorney in over six years now, and any aspirations I had of making partner at my old law firm faded before I departed. It was always something that felt like it would be out of reach for me. But I was very pleased to just get a call from a buddy, who started at the firm with me some 10 years ago, letting me know that he’d made partner. I can think of no one more deserving, and it was a reminder that sometimes good things do happen for good people (and a reminder that, yes, there are lawyers out there who are really good people!). Made my day.
OK, so it’s been a crazy morning already, with the Rays sending Evan Longoria to the Giants, the Yankees and Dodgers reportedly in on Yu Darvish, the Orioles acting like they’re about to pull Manny Machado off the market, and Zach Britton suffering a ruptured Achilles.

META: I’m very sorry that some of you continue to experience issues with being redirected to a spam site when you visit BN. These are caused by ads that are slipped in by unscrupulous advertisers, made to look like real ads, and then we don’t even actually get paid for them. There are also bad people out there who do bad things. We have made progress on knocking some of these fake ads out, but the groups that are doing this change their tactics almost daily – so we knock out the crap almost every day, and they switch things up. It’s a constant process of whack-a-mole, and we keep trying to work to get ahead of it. I’m very sorry for the issues, and I’m very frustrated about it myself.
In the meantime, if you ever see any info you can share that might help us (an ad that you see load each time just before the redirect, a URL you catch showing up when the redirect starts, a screenshot, anything), I’d really appreciate it. For yourself, you can try to clear cache and cookies on all browsers (they share cookies), and restart, which has provided relief for some users. And we’ll keep working at it. Thank again to everyone who does not block ads, which allows us to stay in business. If the ads don’t display, we don’t get paid.
