Baseball Playoffs

I thought this warranted a couple of chuckles:

It all counts. If you can look it up it counts. I like the NBA. I personally rank them 1. MLB, 2. NBA, 3. NFL, 4. NHL (although I did have the Cleveland Barons for a couple years!) 20 years?? all the Cleveland teams have stunk for the better part of the last 50 years (well 45). 8 good years of the Indians late 90s early 00s, 5 good years of the Browns...Schottenheimer, 5 good years of the Cavs...LeBron. That's the last 50 years. That's it.

horsey of coursey - did you hear the stat last night on the telecast? The Lions and Tigers haven't made the playoffs in the same season since 1934. The Cleveland franchises last did that in 1954.

I don't like Rick Reilly, but the Tony Plush stuff is hilarious.

Me: "You're sayin' you could take Albert Pujols?"


Morgan: "Oh, please. I'da f---ed him up. I'da one-punched him."

Would love to see Brewers/Cards NLCS. It could get really interesting if that were to happen considering the last few encounters

When the Tigers are playing golf in a few days, they're going to sit back and wonder a few things about this game four:

1. So many missed chances against AJ Burnett. Just pathetic swings in several key sequences.

2. Jim Leyland just doesn't get it. Biggest game of the season. Chance to close out a series, and he starts Don Kelly and Wilson Betemit. Kelly isn't so bad, but Betemit has been beyond atrocious in this series. An automatic out even.

AJ Burnett, Yankee hero!!

As a Tigers fan, losing like that to AJ Burnett of all people was just devastating. And the bullpen was embarrassing. At least the Wings start their season on Friday and the Lions and UM are playing pretty well.
