Blessed first place

Oh happy day! Oh wonderful thing of sweetness! Oh bearded Zeus...how sweet you are...and by bearded Zeus, I mean Jim Leyland, because he's turned one of the laughingstocks of baseball, one of the only things I've kept with me with my whole life, one of the things that comes every spring but is a disgrace by summer, into a Beacon Of Sweetness.

Yes, the Detroit Tigers are in first place in the A.L. Central. Not only that: They have the best record in baseball. There should be a parade in Detroit today. All schools in tri-county should be closed. Everyone should play hooky, and everyone should fill that amazingly sweet stadium tonight to watch the best team in the bigs. This is a call to action. (From a blog. It will be most effective.)

What a great thing.
