The Gambler
The Tigers won last night, bringing the series even at 1-1. Of course all anyone seems to want to talk about is the "foreign substance" that Kenny Rodgers had on his pitching hand in the first inning. Whatever it was was gone for the second inning and, as many should note as they breathlessly report on the whole situation, his pitching didn't seem to suffer a bit after the ablutions.

The near-rally by St. Louis in the 9th inning probably had pacemakers and implantable defibrillators working overtime all over southeastern Michigan. I'm glad it didn't get any more exciting!
