This off-day feels a bit different from the last few, doesn't it? Rather than needing a break because bad baseball is driving you nuts, maybe you're calmer today, savoring the good stuff you've been watching over the past couple of weeks. Instead of hoping a day off gives the Tigers a chance to collect themselves, you're eager to see them get back on the field and keep this going.
But I don't want to speak for you. Bring up whatever you want today. As usual, I'll hit a few grounders for you to field as you choose.
- Here's a great way to waste a couple of hours (or more) this afternoon. You're Chipper Jones against a pitching machine. I've only played one game, and I stunk. I blame my mouse. (via Shysterball)
- Should we be worried about Brandon Inge?
- This instant replay thing bothers me. Not that I don't think it should be adopted; it's a good idea and should definitely be used in the playoffs. I just don't think it should be implemented during this season, after some 60-plus games have already been played. What about the teams and games that could've benefited from it already?

The Love Guru is going to be a huge, steaming piece of crap, isn't it? Unfortunately, Get Smart isn't getting much good buzz, either. I was kind of looking forward to that one.
- After a siesta, Big Al is back, and has written two posts on the Tigers - a Lynn Henning rebuttal and "Burning Questions" - at The Wayne Fontes Experience. I'll steal one of his topics: Who do you think should be the Tigers' fifth starter?
- What sounds good for lunch today? I'm leaning toward Jimmy John's.
