...the World Series, with the Tigers versus the Cardinals.
The series is now tied at one game apiece and set to start again in St. Louis tonight at 8:05 PM. This is a real pain because it means that it'll be pretty late when the game ends, and if it goes into extra innings I'll be hurting tomorrow.
Even so, all I can say again is: GO TIGERS!

I'm not feeling especially inspired, blog-wise, this morning, and I've got another couple of busy days on tap, so you get the fall-back post of the uninspired blogger: Ten random tracks from my iTunes library (the four-and-five-star playlist), with commentary. I'm tempted to just steal Kate's…
Well, even as a born-in-Detroit Tigers fan, I wouldn't have expected it, but it's come to pass. The Tigers have the Yankees on the ropes, having defeated them last night quite convincingly 6-0 to take a 2-1 series lead. All they have to do is to win this afternoon, and the Yankees go home.
How…
I feel for you, ScienceBlogs compatriot Afarensis. I really do.
Sure, your Cardinals beat my Tigers in the World Series last week. Sure, the Tigers made a lot of embarrassing errors and showed every sign of letting their youth and inexperience lead them to choking under the pressure. Sure at times…
Saw a great football game on Sunday when the Jets beat the Lions. Interestingly, there were several biggies there from Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center about something. The sound stinks where we sat...
I would like to see Detroit win, but beating the Yankees would be even more enjoyable.
Go Cardinals!
Tough game Orac...no one is more surprised how this is going than us Cardinal fans!!!
When they tore down old Tiger Stadium and the "Bird" hurt his shoulder I stopped following the Tigers. But I did run into Harry Carry once in a men's room of a resturant when he was doing the Cardinals. He was kinda' leaning against the wall at the urinal, and his date was a chippie, rather than Augie Busch's wife for a change.
What? You've got to be kidding me! How can you root against the most storied baseball team west of the Mississippi River? Just remember: birds can fly away from cats before they get bit, but it will be a cold day in hell before tigers can fly with the cardinals.
Birdies can also fly over kitties and crap on 'em, too...
Easy.
I was born and raised in Detroit.
And don't necessarily count on "flying away" before getting bitten.
