I was sad to hear the news a few days ago that Ernie Harwell, the radio voice of the Detroit Tigers for what seemed like forever,has inoperable cancer. Even though I didn’t grow up anywhere near Detroit and am by no means a Tigers fan, Harwell’s voice had a big impact on me. WJR came …

I’m surprised They Didn’t Steal A Base While They Were There
Wow, another case of someone stealing something way too big to get away with stealing. This time, it was the statue of Cal Ripken Jr.’s No. 8. At least these guys had an easier time extricating the statue than our chili-swiping fools from yesterday, and they had something big enough to transport the statue, but…did …

His Name Is Rios…
Here’s a question for the baseball fans, especially those of you who follow the Blue Jays. Yesterday the Jayslet Alex Rios go to the Chicago White Sox and got nothing in return.The question is a simple one: Was this a stupid move or was it time for Rios to go and worth doing whatever was …
No Bobblehead, No Money, No Concert?
My sleep sucked last night and I’m feeling lazy as a result, so I’m just going to jam the few things I wanted to mention so far today into one post. Here we go. I survived Toronto, over-priced beer, biblical flood and all. The game was great. I got to see a win, they opened …
Who Wants A Violent Beating
I’m happy to see the Regis Philbin version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire make a comeback. There’s nothing wrong with Meredith Vieira, but for my money you can’t beat the original. They’re changing it a bit from the way things used to be, which sounds good and bad. On the not so good …

Wrestling, UFC, And A Couple Other Things
Hey everybody. Hope you’re all doing well. I’m happy that we’ve finally gotten a few days of summer weather in a row, it’s about time. I swear we did a weather swap with the west coast this year. They’re frying in the miserable heat while we’re getting drenched with rain and the temperatures are fairly …

It’s The Giant Logic Hole Right Outside Your Window
So I’m sitting here listening to the Jays game (Jays are leading 7-4 in the bottom of the 6th) and I had a thought. Not so much about the game itself though it’s a fun back and forth that you should start watching if you happen to see this in time, but about thosegoddamn Super8 …

Don’t Deal Doc
I haven’t bothered saying anything about all of this Roy Halladay trade business up until now, but since it’s not going away I might as well. it hasn’t been talked about to death or anything, has it? The biggest question I have whenever this comes up is why? Why would you trade arguably the best …
Boooooarack Oboooooama?
There’s not a whole lot to say about the all-star game. It was fine, I had fun, what more can you ask for? It wasn’t the best night to be a starting pitcher, but in the end the right team won so it’s all good. One thing I did notice, at least I think I …
