    Glad they could take time out from diddling little boys and screaming about Obama to address this pressing social concern. ::) ::)

    Well, Israel is 8 hours ahead of EDT, so the Tigers have an out.

    (They're playing the Rangers, by the way.)

    In another religious wrinkle, the region's 1.3 million Catholics are asked not to eat meat on Fridays during Lent. That prevents fans from indulging in the most popular item at a baseball game -- a hot dog.

    There is actual meat in hot dogs? Since when?!

    Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday rolled into one? Remedial calendar reading, anyone?

    Here in Cleveland, it's the Tribe's home opener, my birthday, Good Friday, and payday all rolled into one.

    Shouldn't the phrase "is believed to have" be somewhere in that news story?
