Tigers called up Bruce Rondon yesterday, but said he won't be the closer. Instead, he makes his debut in the bottom of the tenth with a tie score. You know, a spot, where a team's closer would very frequently get used. On a semi-related note, Valverde actually accepted going to Toledo. Of course, wh...

And, well, the running jest of Blackpool which actually turned into real support. Jest no more. Quite so. Very quite so. Heck, I've burned a dozen DVDs of Blackpool matches and mailed them to Swampers. So, yeah, we went a little crazy on that. Frankly, most of us bought kits. The tangerine is, well...

Detroit has committed six errors tonight. That's impressive, especially considering the lead-footer nature of many of their infielders.

Yeah, I know you grew up with snow. I mean not having had to deal with it for 15-ish years and then having to remove it from your new home. You will become quickly reacquainted I assume. Syracuse usually gets douched with snow every winter. Viva la lake effect. Yep, a move in early October will giv...

Where are you looking to buy/move? We are finally making the long-speculated move to Syracuse (actually a suburb about 20 minutes away from downtown).

I was reading about the opening day of the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin trial today. Now....I'm no lawyer, but is telling a "Knock Knock" joke in your opening statement when your client is charged with 2nd degree murder a good idea? With a lawyer like that, methinks it's time to prep O...

NFL - Chicago - 1
MLB - Detroit - 1
NBA - I was a Lakers fan, but since I got so tired of everyone in LA sucking their dicks around Kobe and Shaq's second title, I'm not counting any of them, even a few under Magic Johnson.
NHL - Detroit - 4
NCAAB - Syracuse - 1

No complaints here.

Thank you both for making me annoyed that we couldn't walk on the volcano when we were there six years ago. Active, shmactive.

Interesting article from the New Yorker that asks if health care can follow the steps of chain restaurants to improve quality of care, efficiency, and savings. I'm sorry. I got distracted when I saw "quality" and "chain restaurants" in he same sentence. Article doesn't address i...

As the NBA season comes to an end, I just wanted to say how fantastic the work of Zach Lowe is. I hardly follow the league any more, but reading Zach Lowe's work is an absolute pleasure. Really? I recalled you being the go-to Swamp expert on all things NBA? I guess I really was gone for a long time...

Before that first free throw, his smug facial expression seemed to be saying, "I'm gonna make these and get laaaaaaaaaaaaid tonight."

I will second the service at Men's Wearhouse. Several years ago, my wife's grandfather passed away in late February back in Pennsylvania.

Seconded. And Zach Guilford (Matt Saracen) is just outstanding throughout, but hardly gets mentioned, as he seems like a minor player as the coach and his wife remain throughout.

Aw, what a bummer. At least he gave us an incredible performance in one of the greatest shows of all-time.

I also have a suit purchased from Men's Wearhouse, specifically the same designer as one purchased at a Macy's (or another department store that Macy's swallowed up). Happy with both, including trying to find the same brand when looking to add a third (and possibly fourth) suit to the wardrobe. The ...

So tired of Jose Valverde. Seconded. Oof. DFA him already (four runs today before getting an out in the ninth when getting an inning of work in a runaway game). Six HR and 11 ER in his last 7.1 innings. Seriously, there is no reason to keep him on the roster and keep Rondon in AAA. With Rondon, you...

Great, now I have spend the next four months checking those two channels every evening until they have two games on at once (which I swear I've seen before) just so I can weakly throw it back in DSG's face. Today is the fourth of fifth time in the last ten days where Detroit has been the "blac...

Cole debut vs giants. He hit 99mph in the first inning. Nice action on his heater.
