Detroit Tigers. Playoff baseball. Not mentioned in the same paragraph since forever.

It took some looking, but I finally found someone who believes that the Tigers match up against the hated Yankees.

I'll even forgive the author for not knowing that ninety-seven year old "DH" Matt Stairs isn't eligible for the postseason and that the much dreaded Marcus Thames/Omar Infante bifecta (is that even a word?) will be doing the striking out from DH position.

Everyone else says "Yankees in 3". Screw that.

Go Tigers.

[cue music: Judas Priest's "Breaking The Law"]

Spent a little time 4-tabling on Crypto last night ... after they'd announced the banning of U.S. players.

Felt good. On a lot of different levels.

[/music]

After I finished, I sent in cashout requests to Interpoker and Poker Plex, and I see today that the Crypto sites have locked player accounts as of, well, today. There's also something about cashouts by check ... which could take 4 weeks. Ugh. I hope my requests go through, because a couple days would be an awful lot better than 4 weeks.

No additional thoughts at the moment, although I'm looking forward to doing some analsyis of whether the act of playing online poker remains non-criminal in many U.S. jurisdictions. If so, then maybe it makes sense to look at alternative methods to cash in and out and I for one will worry a whole lot less.
