Well, it looks like
I'm rooting for the Detroit Tigers in the World Series. Given the way they're playing, I'd be happy to do so. There are a lot of things in common with last year's White Sox team -- starters having career performances, a bullpen where everybody's contributing, a lineup where everybody can get the big hit, a manager that has all the right answers, a
detrimental Perez...
I normally root against Detroit everything -- Red Wings, Pistons, Lions -- but I think I can get behind this team. They're playing a fun brand of baseball, the crowd's really into it, and it'd be nice to say the AL Central has the last two World Champions.

Album recommendation: "Putting The Days to Bed" by The Long Winters. I'm on a pop music kick as of late, at least while I bide time until the
new Who album comes out. The Long Winters sound something like Built to Spill with tighter songwriting, and the lyrics remind me of Barenaked Ladies a little. I also picked up
"Dog Problems" by The Format, which I'm listening to right now, but The Long Winters album is going to be a rotation regular.
Jet's new album ain't bad either; good enough to beat the sophomore jinx. Let me know if there's anything I should be listening to. There's a Borders within walking distance, and I'm trying to rack up
Rewards.
