There's Still A Game to Be Played, Right?

Despite the fact that it's all but forgotten that the World Series does resume tonight, a fact obscured by the strained attention on Rogers' hand, the ball, LaRussa's perceived observance of the Code of Baseball Insiders, etc., it is true that there will be a game between the Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals around 8:30 p.m. EST tonight. Don't believe the hype. We're still trying to win this thing.

Interesting Question Which, For More Than One Reason, As Far As I Can Think, We'd Rather Not Posed: In the event that the Tigers face elimination on Thursday night, does Leyland send Rogers to the hill, in St. Louis, amidst all of this crap? Just a question. It'd be, of course, Verlander's slot. Hmmmm… I think the answer has to be "Yes." Won't be an issue, though.

Enjoy the game tomorrow, Barry - this would've been my best shot at attendance too, and, well, crazier things have happened.
