Alright, i gave in. I live for sports way too much, and i have too much time on my hands to not do a blog about sports. Over the last few months i have enjoyed reading sports blogs like Deadspin.com and Kissing Suzy Kolber so much that i just can't help but lend my own voice to the madness.

So the standard rules will apply. Mainly MBFY.

I'm going to jump in with both feet and live blog the rest of the Yankees game. And then i'm going to teach myself HTML. I don't know which one will take longer...baaazzzziinnnggg.

5:56 - I have 5 beers in the fridge. That might not be enough. We'll see.

5:57 - The sweet sound of this blog's name is doing the play-by-play for this game and i'll take this time to mention my muse. That Holiday Inn commercial with the 3 guys touching his neck is so damn uncomfortable and so homo-erotic. Who green-lighted that idea? And Joe Buck had to stand there and shoot that scene. I knew he was a dweeb but come on. Have some dignity. i would rather watch the VW Crash commercials.

5:59 - Brandon Inge is up to bat, and may have the sweetest facial hair since Nate Brocious. Baby face, freshly shaven and just one extra long soul patch. And i think his head is shaven too. So that may be the only hair he has on his body.

6:02 - Tim McCarver just said that a 3rd base coach is much like an offensive coordinator in football. Yeah Tim, except that a 3rd base coach is responsible for 20-21 fewer people. I should have named this blog "Killing Tim McCarver", in honor of Danny, who hates Tim McCarver.

6:13 - Have i mentioned that i despise that Yankees? Just wanted to make sure we were clear on that point.

6:13 - Abreu just ripped a double that scores Johnny Judas and Jeter. 2-0 Yanks.

6:15 - Gary Sheffield, of weirdest batting stance this side of Craig Counsell fame, just singled in Abreu, 3-0 yanks.

6:19 - Boy the all-steroid team came to play tonight. Giambi home run makes it 5-0.

6:23 - McCarver brings up the Orlando Hernandez was supposed to start game 1 for the Mets tomorrow before he pulled his calf working out today. How does a guy get traded by the dbacks for nothing, and then start game 1 of the ALDS? It's called the Arizona Rule. A guy leaves any team in Arizona, he'll automatically get better. Michael Pittman, Thomas Jones, Simeon Rice, Junior Spivey, Lyle Overbay, Dan Uggla, Jake Plummer, even Tom Tupa at one point left the Cardinals and endud up as a punter in the Super Bowl. There are a ton more, i just can't think of all of them right now.

6:34 - This game is so boring that Buck has resorted to looking around Yankee stadium for famous people. It's only the top of 4. I don't know how much more i can take.

6:41 - Behind Joe Torre's head is a book that has a large Tiger's logo and says "Dugout Book." Huh???

6:43 - Jeter just got caught up in a hit and run in which Abreu couldn't hit because the ball was on his chin. Most exciting moment of the last 30 minutes.

6:46 - Hey Craig Monroe hits a homerun over Judas' head and puts the Tigers on the board. 5-1.

6:48 - Craig Monroe apparently has a mother named Marilyn who is paralyzed from the waist down. This is why i watch baseball. For the backstories.

6:52 - 5-2 Tigers...yawwwwwnn. Although McCarver thinks it's terribly exciting having just said, "The Tigers are right back in this thing." Sure Tim. Also, Sean Casey is the nicest man in all of sports. Joe Buck is a wealth of knowledge.

6:54 - The nicest guy in sports just got himself an RBI. 2-run game. This would be the first time since 2004 that Tim McCarver was right. We'll see.

6:55 - Brian Bruney, formerly of the Dbacks, is warming up for the Yankees. Which means he'll be shutting off this rally real quick.

7:02 - Giambi got beaned to bring up A-Rod. This has double-play written all over it.

7:03 - Or a strike-out. Ha. The blog world is calling him Mr. May, because he just kills it in the regular season and then just bites the big one come games that acutally matter.

7:09 - McCarver just refered to Carlos Guillen's steadily increasing batting average "a gathering storm." In the next pitch, Chein - Ming Wang threw an inside pitch and McCarver said he couldn't get away with the pitch again. So Wang threw the same exact pitch for another strike. Good work Tim. And then he made fun of himself for being wrong. That's an improvement.

7:16 - The Departed looks like a flat awesome movie. Even the Boston accents aren't bad.

7:17 - I like the Tommy LaSorda commercials where he yells at people for not watching baseball because their favorite team is not in the playoffs, but if i know anything about Fox, i'll be seeing them a few too many thousand times between now and November.

7:22 - Jeter is 4 for 4 and everyone in NY still hates A-Rod.

7:31 - Joe Buck likes Tommy's commercials too. He has to. Compared to his, Carl's Jr. commercials are good.

7:32 - Mike friggin Meyers is warming up in the Yankees bullpen! The Yankees must know the AZ Rule. Although, it can't possibly apply to Mike Myers can it? We're about to find out.

7:36 - Ha Ha. I actually wanted to write, "And he immediately gives up a home run!" Just out of habit, but i didn't. And i should have, because he immediately served up a tater to Curtis Granderson. Brilliant.

7:45 - Mike Meyers or not, the Tigers won't go away. It's 7-4 with runners on the corners and Mags representing the tying run at the plate. Man i hope this gets interesting.

7:47 - But no.

8:00 - ZZZZZZZZ. ZZZZZZZZZZZ.

8:05 - If anyone is going to give this game back to the Tigers, it'll be Kyle Farnsworth. Buck just called his stuff "electric" and yeah, when the Cubs don't even want you, that must be some "electric" stuff. And he makes me look smart by issuing a 4-pitch walk.

8:07 - Man, how many batteries, pill bottles and ab machines are the people of Philly going to throw at T.O. on Sunday? I can't even wait.

8:16 - Here comes Rivera. Boring. I'm over it. So much for the first live blog. It'll take some practice. In the mean time, since when is John Lovitz gay?

8:22 - Jeter blasts a home run, as if to say, "Here, hate A-Rod a little more." And he sticks it in the proverbial keister of the Tigers. Goodnight.
