The BaseBlog

This is the time when I wish I could change my display name.

I find it hilarious how many people think that video was real. I also find the video itself hilarious.

Of course, judging from how those people responded, all politicians ought to actually start doing that if they want votes.

it also tells me that I know virtually nothing about pop culture until two months after it happens.

Since I'm Senior Staff now, I don't actually get a new rank, but I still get the flashy picture with Tahnok-Kal added.

Are fun, when people are friendly, and they also grab people's attention when placed in blog titles.

Anyhow, what I really want to talk about is the World Series. I am grateful beyond belief that the Giants were able to come back and beat the Cardinals. I already died twice in my lifetime in '06 and '11, along with a near miss in '04 and a bullet grazed my heart in '05, but the White Sox aren't as bad as the Cards.

Even so, I'm still rooting for Detroit. You all remember how I complained about the style of baseball played in '10? This time, I think it will be a little more balanced. Both have great pitching staffs, but Detroit has the better offense. I would say the Giants have the advantage, except that the Freak was freakishly bad this year, and so that factor is out of the World Series picture. On the other hand, Detroit has Prince Fielder, Miguel Cabrera (Triple-Crown winner and my choice of AL MVP), and Justin Verlander (last year's AL Cy Young and MVP winner). That's a pretty strong triple threat.

Then again, San Francisco has proved me wrong before, and they have a hot trio of hurlers in Cain, Zito, and Vogelsong. Even so, after the ALCS sweep, I still say Tigers.

I decided to take a stab at poetry without it being a school assignment. I think it turned out rather well.
