(Wang brushes single tear away...)

Go Tigers.

Seeing the players walk out of the tunnel- watching them spray all the fans with champagne while jumping and running around like kids- is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen in sports.

I still have the chills.

Tomorrow I'll be composing my open letter to Kenny Rogers, expressing my heartfelt gratitude for what rates to be one of the single greatest games ever pitched by a Detroit Tiger.

And I'll write him a letter begging him to reopen his much-missed rotisserie chicken establishment.

Man, I hate the Yankees so much...

The Anonymoose- and his distant cousin, the anonymouse- need to sign their posts...

I'd read it. I read both your blogs religiously anyway.

I like the idea of being anonymous; it's probably the closest I'll ever come to being a ninja. I suppose I could finally fill out that application for the online ninja school (just 15 three-hour courses), but I'm too lazy for that. Anyway, the above anonymoose was me.

I've been reading all your blog entries (yours too Dutch), but haven't had any worthwhile comments yet. Being away from FCP has got me out of that mode of making short comments about anything, even when I don't have anything to say.

I have still enjoyed it though.

Thanks, Hobbesy. I thought you might have comments on the baseball ranting, and was reasonably disappointed when you didn't fanatically agree or slightly disagree on some semi-trivial point.

Hey, we've got tickets for Friday and Saturday games. Friday I think dad's taking Frank. Saturday is open though, and we've been trying to get a hold of you. Give us a call, we even bought Big League Chew.

By the way, I was AT the Kenny Rogers game and it was the most dominant performance of a soft-throwing, cameraman-punching 65-year-old I've ever seen.

Joe Morgan's blatant and willfull ignorance of the game of baseball is insulting to the audience. You would think people who are paid to talk about the game would be reading everything they can about it. But Joe Morgan is just going to ignore one of the most talked about baseball books in recent times because he thinks he knows what it says. He thinks Moneyball = big, slow guys who hit home runs, strike out a lot, and walk a lot. How can you talk about a book on national television that you haven't even read?!

I hate Joe Morgan.
