This Shabbat Shalom Wrap-Up is brought to you one day earlier than usual. I am soon leaving Florida for Las Vegas to celebrate my step-brother's bachelor party. I will not have access to a computer for the entire weekend, and thus submit to you the stories that I failed to cover during the week: * Sports agent Arn Tellem, former NBA star BJ Armstrong, and NY Mets GM Omar Minaya have been training Israeli and Palestinian boys in basketball as part of a Middle East peace mission [Ex-NBA star spreads message of peace]. * Scott Boras has begun preparing for Rick Ankiel's potential arbitration hearing.

I thought better of it

I made the mistake of turning on the Arizona/Cincinnati game, forgetting it would be called by the Thom Brenneman.  No way.  That's not happening in this house.  Fortunately I tuned into the Cards/Rocks game in time to see Rick Ankiel's first bomb of the year, then hear the Cards announcers, fre...
