…being the most famous person on the planet.

I chose this article from the Detroit Free-Press to sum up my thoughts: They’re no Yanks, but A’s a cast of characters.

And actually, I’ve more worry about this series than I did after Game 3 of the last.

From the New York Times:

Everyone in Detroit is waiting for the answer, after a tumultuous Friday in which Mr. Kerkorian’s close associate Jerome B. York stepped down from the General Motors board, firing off a letter sharply critical of the company’s management.

What a week.

I admit, I’ve been following both the News and the Tigers, but the latter are easier to write about and more enjoyable. That and I can’t tell you anything useful about these events other than what I think of them and what you may have read yourself.

– OCTOBER – is country ham month.
– TODAY – is Columbus Day.
– HAPPY BIRTHDAY – John Lennon.

– TIGERS –
Well, you know how this is going because it’s all I’ve been writing about. But beating the Yankees is like beating Darth Vader.

Next Stop: Oakland.

But in a city where everyone thought this series would have been over yesterday with a Yankees sweep, a word of wisdom from the last nineteen years:

There’s always next year, Yanks.

As of last night… so the news isn’t all good this morning.

No, I do not have the scores flipped.

Basically, Kenny Rogers just kicked ass. He just did. He did, he did.

W00t.

I’ve been so wrapped up in the Tigers that in my other political posts that I haven’t been writing you at all about recent developments with General Motors. This is, however, unambiguously Good News from almost every perspective, and it’s not a small deal at all, despite the fact that it seems to get the second page treatment in newspapers at the very least.

– Tonight’s game is at 8 PM EST, out of Detroit.

– I added a link in the “others” section to “D,” who has written and posted on her extensive travels in Europe and the Americas. Soon, she will be going to Vietnam and posting about that as well.
