Brazil Defends Homefield in Shootout Over Chile
Chile tied it at one in the first half and that’s where it stayed – through extra periods and on to a shootout. Both teams were tremendously exciting, matched by the class of announcing, the English. Many shots just missed through some real nerves with Brazil’s home crowd behind them. These stakes have to be […]

Blues Traveler – Run-Around
Seriously, Pharell?
Is this how lame we are – everyone kisses his ass so much “Oh, he’s soooo cool,” that we can’t even call him out anymore? Have you seen the hats he’s getting away with? DUDE YOU ARE NOT HIP, YOU ARE NOT COOL. You’re a clown. #FAG

Moment of the Draft
Isaiah Austin, a seven footer from Baylor, found out when he went in for his draft physical that he has Marfan syndome, a heart disorder. It means he cannot play in the NBA. Adam Silver elected for the NBA to draft Austin, anyways. Between the 15th and 16th overall selections, Austin was able to walk on […]
Rick Porcello Shuts Out Rangers
Earning a Tigers sweep in Texas. Detroit won 6-0 behind nine innings from Porcello, who pitched his first career shutout. The young starter looked a little older, surrendering just three hits and three walks all night while striking out six. The Tigers kept the Rangers off the base path even when they reached with three double […]
USA Advances to World Cup 16
Group of death With a 1-0 loss to Germany, the United States stayed close enough to beat Portugal for second place in Group G at the World Cup. We beat Ghana 2-1 and tied Portugal, and they beat Ghana 2-1 as well today. However, their 4-0 loss to the Germans sealed our ticket.
Martinez Co. Rocket Fuel Tigers Win
Detroit leapt out to a 5-0 lead, but since the Rangers eventually rallied for six of their own, the Martinez Brothers were forced to inflict further damage. Let’s take it from the top: Rajai Davis led off the game with a triple before being drove home by Miguel Cabrera’s sacrifice fly. Back-to-back (a recurring theme) doubles from Victor […]
Tigers 8, Rangers 2
We all know Ian Kinsler has little love-lost for his former team the Texas Rangers. To exclamate his beliefs, Kinsler drove one into the stands of his old ballpark in his first at-bat back. The camera showed an angry, intense face on Ian. He motioned to the Ranger’s dugout on his way to first, then […]
Michelle Wie Wins U.S. Open
A name. Whoa. An actual name in women’s golf. I can’t name any others. This is the first women’s golf post ever. Wie is like Tiger Woods – anytime the minority beats the all-white club, it’s on. It’s interesting. For once.
USA Ties Portugal 2-2
There were two sides to this game: Side A) USA trailed 1-0 for essentially the entire opening half B) Portugal trailed 2-1 heading into the extended injury time Side “A” felt like we were on the brink, and “B” really felt like we had it won. If not for a last-second goal to tie it, […]
Detroit Tigers Sweep Indians in Cleveland
With a 10-4 emphatic finish to the weekend series. Miguel Cabrera launched a solo homer to start the scoring, then Detroit punched seven runs across in the fifth to cement their lead. Ian Kinsler got three hits on his 32nd birthday. Max Scherzer earned the win, then rocked the classy purple dress shirt in his postgame interview. […]
Tigers Scoring Summary Vs. Tribe
Victor Martinez smacked another home run while oldschool was helping me fix my cable box – Martinez es asi que el fuego (is so on fire) that we missed it. I also mistook it as #18, when in fact it’s #19. Blink and you’ll miss. V. That put us ahead 1-0. The Indians tied it on an […]
FIREMAN PHIL
“PUT IT OUT” Phil Coke entered the 10th with authority, the way he does every time he takes the mound. Take Coke and take Joe Nathan: it’s the tale of two G’s. One storms the mound, literally, as Coke runs to take the ball from the bullpen every time. Nathan fidgets and acts like an asshole […]
Tigers Take Opener
Despite a bad episode of “Krol Show,” the Detroit Tigers rolled through the Cleveland Indians on the road. Rick Porcello didn’t allow one run in six innings, aided by some timely Tiger glove work. Miguel Cabrera stretched out to finish a double play, going on his tip toes to keep the runner out at first […]
