Next time you think you have a problem with a broadcaster, or curse a director for not giving you the replay RIGHT FREAKING NOW, remember this video. Leave the broadcasting to the professionals, people.
This footage was taken by a fan at – according to his youtube account – Game 5 of the ALCS last night in Detroit. This is Miguel Cabrera’s RBI double.
Calvin Johnson is Megatron. Can we get a hell-yeah on that being the finest nickname in sports?
Nelson Cruz blasts the Rangers to a 2-0 ALCS lead with his
11th inning grand slam.
Detroit catcher Alex Avila is tough. Catchers are tough. And sometimes, sparks fly.
Jim Thome has now hit 600 career homeruns. Eight people have done this in the history of major league baseball. Used to be a list of three: Willie (660), Babe (714), Hank (755).

Here’s one. Who cares? Jim Thome has 600 homeruns. That’s a hell of a lot more than most people, and a nice round number. Cheers, Jim!
This is why you want to get to the show. Because charter jet travel is big ballin’.
Thanks Justin Verlander. That’s the funniest thing we’ve seen on a major league diamond for a long long time.
Reigning American League MVP Josh Hamilton is out for 6-8 weeks because of a broken bone in his right arm. He won’t be able to even swing a bat for at least a month.
Hamilton broke the bone sliding headfirst into home plate in Detroit yesterday. Then,
he blamed the injury on his 3rd base coach.
It’s here. Major League Opening Day. Christmas for grownups. The Resurrection for the secularists. The Yankees are hosting the Tigers in the day’s first game. Follow it here.
Miguel Cabrera has reported to Tigers Spring Training. The Detroit star made headlines last week when he was busted on suspicion of DUI. The reported incident was ugly.
Cabrera is in camp today, saying the right things, and apparently with the support of his employer, the Tigers.
