Morning Head: I still don't know if the Tigers won as I type this headline

Lea Michele. Let me entertain you, indeed. Is it just me, or is the song from that commercial the most suggestive harmless song you've ever heard? Let me entertain you, let me make you smile? I'm very versatile? Maybe I'm just a pervert.



So the Tigers and Indians took forever last night, thanks to a rain delay and extra innings. Because of this, I fell asleep and missed the end of the game. Now, let me just do a little looking and see what happened ... what the fuck? A hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded? Did David Pauley have somewhere to be? Was he tired like the rest of us? It's a wasted start from Doug Fister and a wasted effort from Duane Below, who was marvelous in long relief. The offense was awful for the Tigers, but the one thing I thought over and over again while watching this game, was that the Indians are awful, and if the Tigers don't hold them off to win the Central, it should be considered a complete failure.

The Lions went out and signed Mike Bell and Jerome Harrison to replace Mikel Leshoure on Tuesday. I like these signings under the circumstances. It's kind of like having to fill a hole on your fantasy team when one of your running backs is injured and all that's left is Jerome Harrison and Mike Bell (I'm pretty sure this exact scenario has happened to at least one of us). You're satisfied with that, but you know that your other players are going to have to have big days in order for you to win. (Freep)



One of my favorite stories of 2011 has been the poisoning of trees at Toomer's Corner on the Auburn campus. Not because I thought it was a good idea, but because it was such a bat-shit crazy idea, and it all started with a call to a nationally syndicated radio show. That's why the SEC wins every national title, because the people down there are so fucking crazy and the coaches and players know it. They're not any better than the players from the Midwest or West* they're just constantly playing with the thought of having their family pets, or worse -- their families, poisoned if they don't win. (*That's a lie, they are better). (SI.com)



The U.S. men's soccer team will play its first game under new coach Jurgen Klinsmann tonight against Mexico. It's a friendly, and you probably won't see some of the key players from either team. It also hasn't been long enough for Klinsmann to have had any kind of significant impact on the team's play. But a big deal is being made out of the game, so be a good American and watch it.

The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved the planning of a downtown stadium which has football fans in the area excited about the opportunity of once again having an NFL team in town. Bill Plaschke makes a plea, however, to the Raiders to not even think about being that team. Now that would be a major buzzkill. (LA Times)



Wisconsin republicans kept control of the state senate Tuesday night, winning four of six recall efforts. For the democrats, that means a lot of money and energy spent to put two people in the Senate but not take control of it. For us, that means absolutely nothing unless one of our readers is living in Wisconsin, in which case it probably doesn't mean much because republicans are still in control.
