But they let that one get away, too. Gotta close the deal on those, and not take you foot off their throats. At any rate, these are good times to be a Spartan, fersure. . .<br /><br />And you know, it was only a little bit painful, watching Doug Fister shut down the Giants last night. . . If he'd stayed in Detroit, he might've been our best pitcher this year. . .<br /><br /><i>(*sigh*)</i><br /><br />As to the Snoil ('Lions' spelled backward, get it?), they just cut their second kicker of the season; as a team, they're 4-of-12 on field goals this year. Even a decent journeyman kicker, and we win that game. Lots of parallels being drawn between Lions kickers and the Tigers' bullpen. . .<br /><br /><i>(*sigh, again*)</i>Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044041773404411751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449788532742031864.post-74524786604632055862014-10-07T11:17:19.746-04:002014-10-07T11:17:19.746-04:00A win is a win, indeed.

At my age, I prefer 'em with a somewhat lower heart rate. ;)<br /><br />It does appear as though the Wings are sitting on the edge of a significant retooling. Pav and Z are starting to show their age, and the young guys are. . . well, young.<br /><br />#20 would put 'em on the outside lookin' in, come playoff time; which would be pretty disorienting for hockey fans in these parts. The last couple years, they've made last-minute pushes to sneak in at a 7-8 seed, and you know that won't last forever. . .Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044041773404411751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449788532742031864.post-29288904500987931492014-10-07T11:10:37.759-04:002014-10-07T11:10:37.759-04:00Awwww. . . thanks, Beej. . .

As...Concentrate on State. They look really strong.<br /><br />As for the Tiggers, I was feeling pain on your behalf. Since the Sox are not involved, I have had my loyalties split four ways. KC and Pittsburgh were sentimental choices (and Pittsburgh was a bit of a choice for Michelle Hickman although her main interest is in the Penguins.) SF for Skip, Tiggers for you. I'm now down to KC and SF.<br /><br />Lions? Their loss to Buffalo has me fearing the Patriots next game a bit more than I was (they're playing Buffalo.) Otherwise, no offense, but nothing the Lions do ever surprises me :-)Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449788532742031864.post-42575342644554771352014-10-07T09:09:52.875-04:002014-10-07T09:09:52.875-04:00(sigh)

A win's a win, innit?<br /><br />Second: Hockey season begins tomorrow and the Beloved Wings play Thursday. That said, it doesn't look like this season is gonna be a whole lotta fun for Detroit fans. I just looked at ESPN's Power Rankings and they have the Wings listed at # 20. (Let that sink in. <b><i>20!</i></b>) I'll repeat myself: (sigh).Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449788532742031864.post-75610152589308935442014-10-06T20:22:57.325-04:002014-10-06T20:22:57.325-04:00I'm not sure I ever told you, but I was a big ...I'm not sure I ever told you, but I was a big Indians fan as a kid.
