PrintAre you still awake? It's Tuesday morning in the eastern time zone (which is probably why we're posting this about 200 comments after we should've).

well....i just got here...
and besides, I’m in the central time zone….
then again, I did have to wake up at 5:30 to go get an estimate on repairs after a fender bender ($2600!!! I was WIDE AWAKE when I heard that….)

how many fenders did you bend?

wasn’t even that bad, girl cut me off and then stood on her brakes….since it was stop and go traffic, when I hit her I wasn’t going fast, no air bags, nothing like that…
just that my grill got smushed a bit, and it looks like my hood’s on hydraulics, 2 inches above where it’s supposed to be…

Wisconsin drivers are the worst. Except possibly Marquette drivers. But otherwise, Wisconsin drivers were just god awful when I was there

Baltimore drivers
Red lights mean NOTHING for the first five seconds – and pedestrians will saunter at will.
Chicago drivers leave less space between cars than anywhere I’ve ever seen.
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
it was kinda funny the few times I went through Chicago
doing like 90 and changing lanes like it was a nascar race. I found them to be pretty skilled.
Then hit a giant traffic jam.

Oh, they are good – just scary if you haven’t driven that way before. You need to learn to signal and then just move over into the next lane as soon as a spot opens up that is six inches longer than the car.

Because mine is correct for my time zone.

Fu-Te Ni’s pitch graph is weird to look at. His bird’s eye view has 3 different release slots for each of his pitches.

Not as bad is it seems
Porcello was long over do for a bad outing. The Tigers should not be in a position where we need a rookie to carry the team anyway. The offense has to step up once and a while.
Dolsi was pretty good. However, it only matters how he pitches when his blood pressure is high and he’s nervous. That’s when he faltered last season.
Ni did better than Robertson. That’s all we should ask for on a first appearance, right?
Of course, getting an out is all you needed to do.
see, it's times like these I need a guest blogger
Because I’m pretty my response will be closer to "that sucked, goodnight!’ ;)
