Bianca, The Covert Toronto Escort with a Day Job →
I’ve posted from this series before, but I think this may be the last one. She quit escorting, so I don’t know what she does now.

Verlander.
I’m not sure what else to say on the matter.

AP's World Series Style Guide →
This is awesome. The AP’s style guide for writing stories about the baseball playoffs. Seriously really cool if you’re into obsessing over grammar and syntax. And baseball.
Fuck the Yankees.
Really, fuck ‘em.
Michigan State's Upcoming Schedule
Saturday: at Ohio State.
Next Saturday: Bye
10/15: v. #19 Michigan
10/22: v. #7 Wisconsin
10/29: @ #8 Nebraska
Dude, its either going to rule or suck to be a Spartans fan over the next month.

Thank you, Tigers.
Now we wait.
Listening to Born in the USA for the first time in...

“We told each other
that we were the wildest,
the wildest things
we’d...”
“We learned more from a three minute record than we ever learned in school”

Justin Verlander: 2011 AL Triple Crown Winner
24 wins, 2.4 ERA, 250 K’s.
Game 161.
Just one more after tonight. Playoffs start Friday at either 5:07 or 8:37.
Let’s hope its 5:07, the late game’s in New York.
The Rangers are one game ahead of the Tigers for the #2 seed. So, basically, the Tigers need to win both remaining games if they want a real shot at hosting a division series. If the Tigers win and the Rangers lose tonight, its a tie, and the Tigers hold the...

Ozzie Guillen no longer manages the White Sox.
The AL Central is now a less fun place to play.
Although, hopefully this means that next year we don’t have to deal with the White Sox in August and September.
I just looked up someone in my class on facebook...

Every Division's Decided.

Announced by Leyland today.
McDonald's Monopoly starts in a week!
It’s like, my favorite time of the year.
Thing I Just Actually Did:

Can the playoffs just start now?
