Congratulations to the Detroit Tigers! You guys throw one hell of a celebration, lol. Congratulations to [Bad username or site: offspeed / @ livejournal.com] especially, who believed from the beginning, despite my best efforts to temper her enthusiasm early on. (What can I say? I thought I was being a good friend.)

It's gonna be a hell of an LCS! I know the network heads are crying in their bitters, but fuck 'em - for fans, what a great matchup this is. **laughs** One of these teams is gonna have to out-scrap the other. It'll be a heartbreaker when the dust settles, but it's gonna be a great series, I can tell.

(And I'm sorry, but I can't stop cracking up at the thought that six years after he left us, he still doesn't have his ring. I was never one of those people who passionately didn't want him to win with the Yanks, but I am definitely one of those people who derive some amusement from the fact it hasn't worked out like he planned. He'd still leave us, given the choice, a hundred times over and I don't blame him. But he went to New York, specifically, for a reason and six years later, he doesn't have a ring. And that amuses me.

Pay attention, Barry. This is important.)

[Bad username or site: angisageek / @ livejournal.com], the text of the Grady article is here. Apologies for the quality - the ESPN pages are overlarge and I couldn't figure out how to fit to page on the scanner. Seriously, don't even ask me why my parents have spent so much money on my education when I can't even figure out the buttons on an all-in-one.

six years after he left us

. . . us? are you secretly a mariner fan? HOW DID I NEVER KNOW THIS ABOUT YOU.

also! man, this alcs is gonna cause some straight trash to be talked on the flist, don't you agree. i'd say a's and tiger fans make up, if not the bulk, a healthy minority.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

**laughs** I was talking about Moose, actually, not Alex. Heh. While I suppose he broke his share of hearts, mine was not one of them. Contrary to what Bri tells you.

LOL, I fear so. Alex, I know, has been working on her trash-talking over IM for a couple weeks now, just WAITING for the matchup to be set so she can bring it over to LJ.

I am so happy for the Tigers, & like you said, offspeed. I admit to getting a little teary eyed as they high fived the fans & sprayed everyone in the vicinity.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Aww. I didn't get teary eyed, but it was fun to watch them let loose. Kenny Rogers pouring champagne on the cop was priceless; my favorite moment of what I caught, for sure.

[lovingthecubs.livejournal.com]

I can agree- I enjoyed seeing the Yankees eliminated.

Yes! I love how Kenny asked for permission before dumping it on him, hah. :P

[unlovablehands.livejournal.com]

... Wow. I'm like, two paragraphs into this, and somebody has a big crush on Grady. *eyes this article askance*

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

lol, oh yeah, I didn't scan the header pic and the headline but the headline and sub of the piece are Grady Sizemore is the ultimate fantasy player: hot bat, quick feet - and a nice touch with the ladies. By Allison Glock, photos by James Dimmock.

[unlovablehands.livejournal.com]

Also, this article is totally inducing my moodswing-y opinions re:Grady. Half OH COME ON and half *squee*

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

LOL, I told you! Half the time I was like awww, and the other half I was like "...Paris Hilton, Grady? Really?" **shakes head**

[unlovablehands.livejournal.com]

Oh God. I was so GRADY NOES.

[unlovablehands.livejournal.com]

ALSO JASON BAY. "I know if Grady liked a movie, it probably sucked" ♥

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

The Jason Bay stuff was my favorite part of the article. They have a fun dynamic.

[unlovablehands.livejournal.com]

Jason's so very "Grady is a moron. BUT A FUN MORON."

[unlovablehands.livejournal.com]

Okay, the part where he called his dog "a gamer" and said she was like him, only cooler? I am DEAD FOREVER.

Thank you so much for scanning this for meeeeee.

[spluckle.livejournal.com]

im so excited for the alcs :D

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

It's old! From, like, July. Ang had just only seen the pictures, I think, so I scanned the article.

Meeee toooooo.

For the game! You need to download these three: One (http://www.sendspace.com/file/06pk5y) Two (http://www.sendspace.com/file/5b2klk) Three (http://www.sendspace.com/file/mxpvua)

to the same folder.

and then unzip one of them, I don't think it matters which.

And presto chango! You should have the game :P

[spluckle.livejournal.com]

(And I'm sorry, but I can't stop cracking up at the thought that six years after he left us, he still doesn't have his ring.

I knew there was a reason I liked you. ;-D

I was never one of those people who passionately didn't want him to win with the Yanks,

I wasn't at first, but now I so am.

but I am definitely one of those people who derive some amusement from the fact it hasn't worked out like he planned.\

Dude should have gone to Boston!

He'd still leave us, given the choice, a hundred times over and I don't blame him.

I so want to disagree but I can't...*sigh* Damned Angelos.

But he went to New York, specifically, for a reason and six years later, he doesn't have a ring. And that amuses me.

Pay attention, Barry. This is important.)

Anyone who left their original team to ride the Yankee train to championshipville is a tool, IMHO. I love that all of the big stars who did this post 2000 have all been denied. I'd hate to see Zito join that bunch.

So glad the Tigers won. So glad.
