Just to show that I’m a man of honor, I’m going to desist from tormenting Yankee fans until my beloved Detroit Tigers get to .500. Yankee fans, I’m sure, will be hoping that never happens.

Addendum: Big game tonight. The Yankees play the Red Sox in Fenway Park at 7:00 Central Time, on ESPN. Both teams are 6-6 and struggling. There will be a playoff atmosphere. It will be cold and rainy. I detest both teams and their fans, but I wouldn’t miss this battle for the world.
