Oh Dash, so much Sparty, no, so little time.

Quick updates, has a ton of extra information in their pre game stuff, and great fast push notifications. Seriously, when my only complaint is that it doesn't have college hockey, that's just splitting hairs.

A friend of mine once referred to Colin Cowherd as "the conventional idiocy", the starkest possible contrast to the conventional wisdom. This pilot script does absolutely nothing to change my position, rather simply, in the strongest possible terms, affirms the correctness of my firmly held beliefs.
This is like watching someone be put up by the Veterans' Committee and all of the old timers wistfully recall the exploits, and all of the young Turks just shrug their shoulders and go back to their Dan Fogleberg, and their Zima, and their hula hoops.
Nightmare Ant for HOF or he will find you. And he will find you.

@Natrone Means Business: Overheard in the Bristol cafeteria
"This is what's great about sports reporting. This is what the greatest thing about sports reporting is. You report to win the ratings. Hello? You report to win the ratings. You don't report it to just report it. That's the great thing about sports reporting: you report to get ratings, and I don't care if you don't have any news. You go report to get ratings. When you start tellin' me it doesn't matter, then retire. Get out! 'Cause it matters."
But now no one will go to O'Blivions or the Maltese-American Social Club!
Also, given that Comerica Park and Tiger Stadium have been on Deadspin this afternoon, here's a picture of Bennett Park just to complete the set.
If you read the whole story, it attempts to whitewash Mr. Ilitch's contracts, some of which make no sense (Nate Robertson, Dontrelle Willis, Magglio's automatic extension) as an example of an owner being aggressive and wanting to win. I just wondered if Mr. Ilitch was lining himself up for some TARP funds instead.
That said, Magic Number 10.
I'm all for making FJM an Old Home Week feature. Once a year, we bring them in, they fisk the worst articles of the year, and we all promise to watch Parks and Recreation. It's win win win!
Hold on. Say what you will, but "Eminence Front", if a different direction from their earlier work, is a good, though not great, song.
@Avoid the Clap, Jimmy Dugan: If I had the time, I would revert to the Mathman avatar solely to strenuously agree with you. Alas...
The elevation of fisking the MSM to an art form is the greatest contribution that FJM could have made to a society. To see it so elegantly on display, in such a textbook fashion, sorry, I'm getting a little verklempt.
15 years later and I must ask Leon Hall, did you learn nothing from your fellow Michigan DB Ty Law? KNOCK THE BALL DOWN!

I know plenty of people who say the very same things about Rodriguez. Sure, I guess you could say they're biased, too, but no one ever accuses them of secretly campaigning to undermine the program. That's because they're Michigan fans.
I don't know, considering that one of the users has -500 points (using a literal +1/-1 system on MGoBoard) and the other has been banned, I would say that it is a). wrong to presume that just because they are posting to MGoBlog that they are Michigan fans, and that b). these diaries are not a major newspaper which put this story out in its Sunday edition and whose readers might expect basic journalistic integrity from.
Somewhere, Duke Snider is smiling.
You know it was a bad day in Michigan when even long time civil servants lose their stars.
@THEGINOCIMOLICONSPIRACY: If this were any other day, I might note that the policy does not always apply equally to stars as it does to your average, run of the mill types. But today is not a regular day, so I will not.
@HockeyMountain: Perhaps those who are banned can have their bans reviewed by Colin Campbell under Rule 47.22.
[just making a joke, not actually calling for this policy.]
Deadspin: Now all (State of/or) Ohio State, all the time.
This does not help the "we play pretty good college baseball north of the Mason-Dixon Line" argument at all.
Now I wish I could have seen the Big Ten Network's Black Knight-esque coverage of this.
All right gang, I must be off. If this is the end, I think of the words of T.S. Eliot:
"We will not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
Good night and godspeed.
