Steely Dan isn’t for everyone. But I dig them and I really like this nerd-a-thon with them taking about the making of Aja.

Chicken soup, y’all.

It’s raining and the wind is furious here just before 9 a.m. Supposed to only get worse over the next day.

Hope everyone is safe.

We’re bracing ourselves for some serious shit around these parts over the next couple of days. No idea if we’ll be going to work tomorrow, if we’ll have power, Internet connection, or what. In the meantime, there’s a Whirled Serious game tonight as the Tigers look to stay alive.

Watch this to keep your spirits up:

Stay safe, y’all.

Over at Sports on Earth I have a piece about my college girlfriend, New York pizza and Joe Carter’s memorable home run:

It had been a long day but once we got home from the wedding and changed our clothes we were still hungry so we walked a few blocks to Little Italy to grab a slice. The only people in the joint were the guys working behind the counter. It was nearly midnight and the heat from the oven cut through the cool air from the outside. It smelled like tomatoes, garlic and charred dough, an aroma New Yorkers immediately recognize as something unalterably good.

My girlfriend told me to order for myself as she went to the rest room, so I did, then sat at a table away from the front door. I looked up at the TV hanging from the corner of the room and there was Rickey Henderson, the guy I’d patterned my swing after in high school. He was a Blue Jay now, playing against the Phillies in the 1993 World Series. It had been four years since he had been on the Yankees, but it felt like longer.

It took a moment to figure out the situation but when I did — bottom of the ninth, Jays down by a run in the sixth game of the Series — I was alert.
