...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!

One of the few perks of working in academia is that I can take the occasional day off for no reason at all. I handed in my grades yesterday, and spring beak starts Monday, so I can feel free to take the afternoon off to sit on my ass and watch some basketball. And bring back First Round Live-…
You all know how the Indiana Jones movies are written, don't you? Let me recreate for you the day Steven Spielberg sat down with his head writer to put together the outline of what would be the fourth installment in the franchise.

Another valiant attempt to combine motherhood, teaching prep, and watching the superbowl. Last year I made it to the third quarter before giving up (i.e., Minnow needed my attention for the rest of the evening). Let's see if this year goes any better.

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.
