Verlander wins the Cy Young award unanimously!
Er, that is (bring in the friendly photo, pronto, please and thank you):
Ah, there we go!
No, seriously. I’m happy for him. Way happy for him. Grinning-from-ear-to-ear-because-it-couldn’t-happen-to-a-better-guy-happy. Congratulations, Justin. You make me proud to have Detroit pride (oxymoron? Maybe.). And yeah, you’re kind of awesome yourself.
Keep it up, kiddo.

Alexi Ogando, David Murphy, Justin Verlander, Mike Adams and Rick Porcello walked into a bar and the bartender was all, Why the long face?
Seriously, this was the Matchup of the Long Faces like I’ve never seen before in a baseball game.
Anyhow, yesterday’s game, the first of the ALCS, was sort of a marathon. It took just about five hours and there were two rain delays, equally about an hour and fifty minutes. The Rangers displayed the brilliant awesomeness of their bullpen and I was given ample time to gaze at Alexi Ogando and his magical pitching. He is my new favorite Ranger. In fact, watching him spurred a conversation that went something like this…
Me: I love Alexi Ogando!
My father: Isn’t ‘love’ a little strong?
Me: No?
Him: Shouldn’t love be reserved for… Jon Daniels or something?
Well, maybe. But still. Ogando rulz. With a z, people. With a z.
