Rumblings and grumblings

Anybody noticed the DOW lately? Me neither. It isn't a particularly helpful measure of the economy anyway.

It is too cold for October. Highs in the forties in the middle of the month? Such would be lovely in December or January but are simply uncomfortable at this time of year. Global warming my antimacassar.

How many folks have I sent scrambling now to find out what an antimacassar is? The raw power I feel now is amazing.

The Tigers were ripped off. Sorry to revisit that, but it's true and will not be forgotten around here for a long time.

And Leyland should have started Porcello against Minnesota the last Saturday of the regular season. Sending an almost complete greenhorn in in a crucial game rather than someone who had proved his mettle.

But Porcello would have pitched on only three days rest! It wouldn't have killed him or his career, but it did drive a nail in the Tigers' coffin for him not to pitch. Leyland overmanages.

That is, until the one game playoff. Then he lets Rodney stay in because 'he wanted to'. The one time that maybe you should have made a move and you don't. Sheesh.

Not that I'm bitter. Me? never!

Well, this kind of strayed from a mix and match entry. I'll try harder next time.
