Tonight, by the grace (or disdain) of what ever minor deity I pleased (or displeased) I felt compelled to volunteer to take you through a journey to relive this night of awful Detroit Tigers baseball.

I am going to be honest: I sometimes fantasize about just what sort of line-ups the Detroit Tigers could field in the 2012 baseball season.

Uh, okay, so on that whole bird sound mass communication/social networking site I joked about writing a recap for today's Tigers-Yankees series finale. I have the day off from work so I settled in for a nice sleep, only waking up to use the bathroom.

For years people (especially people on the internet) have been trying to come to grips with what entails a Hall of Fame career. However, what about those players that are merely "ok" or on the verge of being "ok"? Why do people ignore the contributions to baseball that "ok" players bring? The time for the "ok" player to get their day in the sun has arrived thanks to the Troll Underpass Magnet School's "Hall of Kind of OK"!

Personally, I am looking forward to Dragon Age: Origins, starting a new Out of the Park Baseball 10 season (considering trying my hat replaying the 2003 Tiger season), figuring out a few things and eagerly awaiting the Venture Brothers season 4.

Let's not make Ian all crazy from off topic postings in threads and, um, discuss things. Oh, yeah, my name is David - that is easier to be addressed by than a string of numbers (no matter what their actual meaning).

Post Script: I still hate Nick Punto.
