On the Olde Celtic Calendar, Halloween (or Samhain) is considered the ending of one year, and the beginning of another…
And there is not a more fitting thing to celebrate that Tim Wakefield returning for his 13th year with the Sox. The team picked up the 2007 option worth $4 million for the 40 year-old this […]

Congratulations to the St Louis Cardinals for winning their 1st World Series Championship since 1982.. While I am disappointed the Tigers did not at least make it more interesting–it seems like they used “it” (and I don’t think it’s Tim Curry in a clown costume…) all up to get to the big game, and […]

Has anyone else noticed that home-field advantage the AL won in July, because the All Star game “counts”, is pretty much doing bupkus for the AL team??? At this rate…the Tigers won’t even GET to a game 6 at home…
I really thought the Tigers were going to win last night’s game…but if you have to […]

W…T…F…???
In the last 3 games, the Tigers have scored a total of FIVE runs..the Cardinals? THIRTEEN. And so now the Tigers are down, 2 games to 1, and I am not feeling confident…
OK, let me ’splain, no, take too long, let me sum up…
This has been the goofiest postseason ever–analysis and prediction have gone […]

I was kind of hoping that the Tigers would sweep the Cardinals and be done with it (Although my prediction is Tigers in 6…)but, unfortunately, they crashed and burned in Game 1…
Some very random thoughts:
Everyone and their brother is predicting the Tigers in some way, shape, or form…But it appears that very few people have […]

Oh CRAP…The Mets held on to a 1-1 tie game until the 9th inning, where Mets reliever Aaron Heilman gave up a 2-run homer to the 3rd Molina–Yadier, who only had SIX homers all season…CRAP…and then with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th, their premier closer (think: Jonathan Papelbon) Adam Wainwright, […]

Make no mistake where you are
This is it
Your back’s to the corner
This is it
You make the choice of how it goes
This is it
The waiting is over
This is it
No one can tell what the future holds
This is it…**
The Mets did the semi-impossible last night. With the help of some reverse lock, a dash of instant […]

Tom Glavine, star of the best Nike commercial EVER was not as effective as he was in Game 1, when he threw 7 strong… in his 4+ innings last night, only 1/2 of his 80 pitches for strikes, allowing three runs and seven hits, including a home run to Mr. Snotface–Albert “I wanna be an […]

The Tigers sweep! Whooo Hooo! and now they have a week to rest, recuperate and get Zumaya’s arm back in shape for the BIG show…
I predicted the Tigers in 5, guess I gave Choakland a bit too much credit…
And the Mets came alive in the “must win” game last night, pummeling the Cardinals with a […]

Some random thoughts as Detroit Leads 3-0 in the ALCS…
Since the Red Sox made the greatest comeback in sports history (aided in a big part by the greatest choke in sport history…) every team on the verge of elimination think they actually have a chance to turn it around…
It’s hard to believe that Oakland actually […]
