Song Title of the Day

"Lord, I'm Discouraged" by The Hold Steady

Sad

They're tearing down Tiger Stadium.

It was probably my favorite place I ever saw a ballgame. Either that or Old Comiskey.

Update! This is good news: They're going to save the field, the foul poles, and the flag pole - which used to be the only flagpole in the field of play in the major leagues. (It was until they put an in-play flag pole in the outfield of that stupid stadium in Houston, but I refuse to acknowledge that ridiculous bandbox.)

I hope the field becomes a city park or something.

Deep Thought

It's odd, isn't it, that Tommy John had Tommy John surgery, and Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrig's disease, but Cy Young never won the Cy Young Award?

Funny Ad

There's a banner ad on Yahoo right now which promises:

We deliver compatible singles to you.

You mean, right to my door?

I've Never Seen This One Before

Michael Barrett of the San Diego Padres hit himself right between the eyes with a foul ball.

Ouch.
