Yeah, I sorta wish I'd gone.

Eh, it's been in Michigan for almost as long as I can remember.

I'm on there, for some reason.

They used to be one of my favorite bands, but for some reason I've lost interest in them recently. The great reviews for this new one sure makes me wish I still cared about them, though.

Reigning Manager of the Year.

Oh yeah, he's a terrible contact hitter. The dude was sent down to the minors for a few months in 2003 (the 119 loss season) because his hitting sucked so bad. That says a lot for that team. At least he has a little pop in his bat now, but he's still the last guy on the team I want up in a big situation (other than Neifi Perez of course, but I sort of like to pretend like he's not on the team).

I've decided that I'm hopping on the "Brandon Inge is a good fielding thirdbaseman" bandwagon. I spent a lot of time arguing with other Tigers fans about it in the past. It used to always seem like the reason he was making all these hard plays was that he was just never in the right place to begin with, so he had to do something dramatic to make the play that a better fielder would have done easily. But lately I'm coming around. He's got some skills over there.

I would imagine that, if it got to the point that pollution was so low that the revenue from such a tax was not enough, then they'd either re-institute the payroll tax, or generate the tax revenue in some other way. It's not as though Gore is proposing that this will be the final tax plan ever.

Halloween already? I'm still worn out from Talk Like a Pirate Day.

It blows my mind that this is even a controversial issue.

Peter Gammons is set to return to the air on ESPN tomorrow!

Yep, Gore was huge in turning the arpanet into the internet. Through legislation, he was one of the people who created it. Unfortunately that quote was twisted to make it sound like he was claiming to have actually sat at his PC doing all the coding or something. Too bad--he really does deserve a lot of credit for it. Edit: Yeah, what they said.

A lot of people take it to be true that he said that though. And that's why it gets annoying sometimes. As a joke it's all well and good, but when people try to use it as some proof that he's a liar or an idiot or something, it gets tiresome. So yeah, not at all applicable to you here, but that's why it gets that response.

I'm actually not sure which game(s) I'm going to. Going with someone who had season tickets, and split the season ticket holder playoff package with someone else.

I'll see you there.

I'd have to know a lot more details of course, but on its face this sounds good.

Do you really want that kid playing for your team anyway? Here's a guy that had to play for Notre Dame because he was so impressed by what he saw there this Saturday. Sounds like a loser.

I can't imagine how a flame war could possibly break out on this thread.

Congratulations to Neifi Perez for bringing his batting average since joining the Tigers up over .200.

I barely listen to Zeppelin at home anymore (because I still hear them all the time everywhere I go), but when I do, it is almost always Physical Graffitti. The rest of the time it's Houses of the Holy.

Supposedly the nicotine is out of your system after 3 days, right? So you should shortly be past the physical withdrawel. Now its just the psychological addiction to fight through...which is probably a whole lot harder.

Willie Nelson smokes weed?

A friend of mine called me to let me know that the Charlie Weis "media bukakke" was over. Brilliant.
