I'll probably check out Tin Lizzie, heard some decent things about it and it'll give me a chance to catch the game Friday night. Mark in Chicago,

I can't confirm, though. Ones that I know of are all MSU bars (since I went there): Tin Lizzie (Clark, north of Fullerton) O'Malley's West (Lincoln south of FUllerton) Kendalls or Kelsey's (I forget which one, they are right next to each on Lincoln near O'Malley's) Higgins (Racine south of Belmot) Gannon's (Lincoln South of Montrose) There's also Avenue Tavern on Broadway south of Wellington, but from my experience it's not a good sports bar. I am pretty certain Wings and Tigers games will be on just about every day at Hi-Tops, Tin Lizzie and O'Malley's. For the other bars, it's a little dicey since they generally aren't as crowded. You'll have to battle Cubs and Sox games, too, for the locals. Hope that helps. I'll probly try and grab some people to get to a Sox game when the Tigers are in town, let me know if you're interested! Hey Andre,

No more Ibanez to kill us. Instead, just Griffey, who didn't hit Tigers pitching last year. The other names - Balentein, Jose Lopez, Yuniesky Betancourt? Nobody too special there. @Ryan P -

He's fanning a batter an inning, walking only one for every four he K's, and is keeping the ball in the yard. It was last year when his peripherals early on weren't special and he <i>was</i> getting lucky that the stat heads were confounded. @Mr X -

If you don’t mind my asking, do you know what bars are still considered “Michigan/Detroit” bars in town? I heard Gin Mill turned into a HighTops, so the only one I know of is Duffys.

It seems they have finally figured out the scouting report on the guy, I hope he can't adjust. I only "watched" on Gamecast at work, so somebody please correct me if I'm mistaken. Sadly, Andre, the game was on WGN today, so there is no replay. You'll have to settle for listening closely during highlights. As for the sound of opening beer cans, well, I think you know what to do about that...
