1. I hope, no, I know this is the last time she will be mentioned in a Tigers’ note, but when Andy Dirks was asked on Wednesday if he became a celebrity in the Dominican Republic after his single up the middle that clinched the championship, he replied: “Andy Dirks is not a celebrity. Kim Karshashian is a celebrity. I am not Kim Kardashian.”
2. Just tried Fastball Flakes, the new cereal with Justin Verlander on the box. Quite good in a Frosted Flakes sort of way.
Here’s hoping they’re a hit – as they already seem to be, what with 2,600 boxes sold the first day.
3. I really hope the next position player to arrive is Brandon Inge, because it’s getting old waiting outside the clubhouse just in case he does.
Wait, here comes a position player driving in as we speak.
Inge? No, Ryan Strieby.
4. Here’s hoping I’ll be as fit at 47 as Kenny Rogers appears to be.
O.K., so I wasn’’t. Big deal.
5. I hope ESPN won’t be talking about Tim Tebow again the next time I turn on one of their talk shows.
I’m getting a blister from the speed with which I change the channel when Tebow is the subject.
