Thing the Tigers Should Not Do, pt.1.

Count on Jacque Jones as an everyday left fielder: He has a career OPS+ of 100 making him the definition of average. This is an imporovement over his 87 OPS+ last season, though. Marcus Thames has a career OPS+ of 105, with a 99 in 2007. While not outstanding, this is, at least, and improvement over Jones. If you platoon them, you may actually have a decent left fielder.

This Fortnight in Blogs

• Carrie has a successful trip to Atlanta.
• Two of them celebrate the anniversary of their blog.
• Tom...mmy issues a retraction and posts a video. (If you are that spectacularly ignorant, why appear on a quiz show?)
• Shonda & Ryan acquire a new car. It is promptly egged by miscreants.
• School has changed a lot since my day. Maybe if this was true, these folks would know that Treesylvania is kind of redundant.
• Steve posts tributes to his favorite holiday movies.

Live from Westlake, OH

The weather has impeded my process home from New York. I decided to take the long way home instead of going through Canada again, that way if I got stuck, at least I would be in my own country. When I reached Cleveland, the roads started getting pretty bad, so here I am . At least I have free Internet, which could not be said of the Rochester Hyatt.
