July 21, 2006 (Cincinnati, Ohio)- Hello once again from Buckeye country as the Ohio State football team readies itself for the BCS tournament and the Bengals continue to do damage control.
Just across the border in Michigan the Detroit Tigers once again served notice that they are planning on hanging around the dance for a lot longer than most folks expected as they squeaked by the defending World Series Champion Chicago White Sox yesterday.
With their 2-1 victory, the Tigers maintained a 5 game lead over Ozzie Guillens troops and they got some excellent pitching once again from fireballer Joel Zumaya who struck out three in two innings of relief for Kenny Rogers.
Word has filtered out of Toronto that ousted player Shea Hillenbrand wrote that the ship was sinking on the team blackboard which prompted manager John Gibbons to challenge him to a fight. The Jays will have to eat the remaining portion of the $5.8 million that he was earning.
Incidentally, the under came into play once again on a Tigers game so if you are sports betting I suggest you continue following this trend in the next month with your favorite sportsbook.
Across the pond...
