Just an update on AFI being shitty. Someone hacked Amazon and changed the titles of a bunch of shitty albums and bands. AFI was one of them. Just in case Amazon were to fix their shit, I screenshotted it. Click the thumb to view it.

Thom Yorke - The EraserI just noticed comments are fucked up right now. I fixed it so you can post, but it's ugly. I'll take care of it later/tomorrow.
Since nothing has been going on in Detroit sports other than the continue success of the Detroit Tigers, I will keep this post strictly to what has been happening in their season.
The Tigers had continued success this weekend, defeating the Chicago Cubs in three straight games to take their current win streak to four, and put them up 1.5 games in the AL Central, and also giving them the best record in the MLB again. Not only that, the Tigers led for every inning of all three games, scoring a minimum of two runs in the first inning of each game, and topping out with a six run, three homerun first inning on Sunday, facing Mark Prior in his first start of the year. Six players hit homeruns, with a total of eight round-trippers in nine innings (Chris Shelton and Brandon Inge each hit two; Marcus Thames, Curtis Granderson, Vance Wilson, and Carlos Guillen each had one). Not only that, but Sunday's game marked the 200th victory of Kenny Rogers' storied career. When Rogers was signed this season, I was skeptical that he would be another high-priced free agent signing by the Tigers that didn't pan out (see: Troy Percival). However, he has proven he is still a more than capabale starter, becoming only the second pitcher this year to win ten games (Tom Glavine of the New York Mets being the other). As it stands right now, he is a shoe-in for a spot on the American League All-Star team, and his contributions to the team, both with his pitching, and his ability to teach young players, is worth every penny the Tigers have paid for him.
Unfortunately, the same can not be said of Dmitri Young. As of last week, Young had a warrant out for his arrest after missing a court date in the alleged choking of his ex-girlfriend. With Dmitri standing to make $8M this year with the Tigers, he could not be considered more of a waste of money. He has been out for two months, and when he was playing, he was batting near .160. For a guy that can really only conceivably play DH, this is unacceptable. Luckily for the Tigers, Marcus Thames has been a more than ample replacement. Not only is he hitting over .300, but he has 14 home runs in very limited starting time this year. Dmitri Young is not only a detriment to the Tigers on the playing field, but also in the locker room, and in the pocket book. Here's to hoping he stays away from the team for good.
There is no doubt in my mind that Curtis Granderson had the best weekend of any Tiger in Chicago, hitting two triples, a double, and two homeruns in the series with the Cubs. He continues to be a great asset to the team, both as a constantly improving center fielder, but also as a good bat at the top of the order. His accomplishments this year will often be overlooked because of the success of his rookie peers, Joel Zumaya and Justin Verlander, but his importance to the team is no less.
Briefs:
*Joel Zumaya pitched three solid innings on 6/11 to record his first major league save. As Zumaya continues to develop his curveball and change-up, he will become a more attractive option to close games for the Tigers. Anyone that can throw triple-digit fastballs for three straight innings is definitely an important part of any bullpen.
*Todd Jones continues to struggle, blowing three of his last six save attempts, including a four run, no out rally by the Toronto Blue Jays. As stated above, Zumaya is the perfect type of pitcher for the closing role, and while Jim Leyland certainly seems to have confidence in Jones right now, don't be surprised if you see Zumaya or Fernando Rodney getting a shot at closing some games down the road.
On a personal note, I attended the Friday and Saturday games for the Cubs series, and it was some of the best baseball I've ever had the chance to see live. Wrigley Field, in the bleachers, is like a party, and there was no shortage of Tigers fans out there, with "Let's Go Tigers" chants breaking out more than a few times during Saturday's game. It's a wonder the Cubs keep selling games out when they play the way they do, but if fans continue to buy tickets, their is no incentive to spend any money to try and improve the team. I also met Jim Leyland after the Saturday game, but do not have a photo due to some camera issues. On Sunday, I caught a BP ball that flew over the wall in center. It was a great time in Chicago, and the Tigers got three more good wins. The next series starts tonight at the Milwaukee Brewers.

I was recently reading your interview in the awful music magazine I receive once every two weeks (it's a free subscription), and I came upon this little gem:
Did you get drunk once and then realize it wasn't for you?
Actually, no I've never been drunk in my life. I've never even had like a beer. It never really appealed to me. That culture was just very unappealing and I never wanted to be part of it. I just saw how people acted and treated each other. And I was just like ''that is not for me.'' And I also thought of it as something very civilian. It seemed like the mandatory recreation for civilians. I thought, ''If alcohol makes you do this, I want no part. I want nothing in common with these people.'' That's when I was fifteen
I'd like to respond to a few things, regarding that quote, and other things I've noticed about you lately. First, what the fuck is up with your face and hair now a days. I remember in the video for Total Immortal, you at least looked a little bit tough. Of course, you looked like a direct rip off of Glen Danzig, but I guess if you're going to jack someone's style, at least make it that of one of the best punk singers ever. Now I see this picture of you
you (one posted here isn't even it, but this is almost as bad), and you look like one of Good Charlotte's fifteen year old fans. That's a girl's haircut motherfucker, and I'm pretty sure it's a girl's shirt too. You absolutely SHOULD drink, becuase you are the kind of girl any lucky, drunken guy would like to take home and ravage after twenty or thirty cans of random swill. You got the prettiest nails on the block.
And as for the drinking comment, I don't know what you mean by calling drinking "very civilian", but I imagine you meant it to mean that the people that drink are lower than you. Using the word civilian here, though, would imply that you are, in fact, in some branch of the armed forces. I fear for my life, and the lives of my family if this is so. It's sandy in Iraq, bro, so make sure to close your legs. Last thing you need is a sandy pussy.
Lastly, I would like to remind you that your music is awful. It was cute when you did all that halloween shit before (and still do), but you know that isn't yours. It's something ELSE you took from the Misfits. If Glen or Doyle even gave enough of a shit about your band to take notice, they'd probably sneeze on you and blow up your overly sized tour bus for stealing their shit, spreading hair dye and makeup all over the land. The fact is, though, they don't give a shit, and neither does anyone else. You are irrelevant when it comes to music now. Your new single is about suicide. Clever. You guys think of that alone, or is it the team of writers, producers, A&R jerks, and old money white guys who came up with this brilliant and innovative concep. I seriously hope it was you guys, because then my idea of what an awful set of crappy musicians you are is totally spot on.
In closing, I would like to hope for you that your album sells well, lest you be dropped from your label, and have to steal to get by. I hope you don't get caught. You'd make someone in jail a real nice piece.

(11:53:13) Eli z: Hi. I have a question. Are you there?
(11:53:21) Wezzul: yeap
(11:53:39) Eli z: Do you know about WordPress?
(11:53:51) Wezzul: yeah, sure..
(11:54:03) Wezzul: i don't use it at all, but i know enough people that do
(11:55:00) Eli z: Well, I got someone to code the backend of my site
(11:55:13) Eli z: And I'm not sure if he's ripping me off by using all wordpress code
(11:55:14) Wezzul: so what does wordpress have to do with it
(11:55:30) Eli z: ^
(11:55:51) Wezzul: did you look at the code adn compare it to wordpress code?
(11:56:05) Eli z: No, I don't have wordpress
(11:56:18) Wezzul: so get it...
(11:56:30) Eli z: Wnvm
(11:56:36) Wezzul: hahaha
(11:56:37) Wezzul: weak
(11:57:21) Wezzul: you want to know if you're being ripped off, but you don't want to do any work to find out...
(11:57:28) Eli z: I don't know how
(11:57:36) Wezzul: you don't know how to open a text file?
(11:58:24) Eli z: bye
(11:58:28) Wezzul: lol
(11:58:33) Wezzul: honestly, that's hillarious
(11:58:45) Wezzul: if you can't open a text file, you should start there, not with a website...
(11:58:56) Eli z: i dont know how to view the code of the site
(11:59:04) Wezzul: 1. open the file with notepad
(11:59:11) Wezzul: that's the only step
(12:00:03) Eli z: what file!
(12:00:12) Wezzul: any file you suspect is a file that is actually wordpress code...
(12:00:23) Eli z: the source
(12:00:28) Eli z: ? i dont have any files
(12:00:41) Wezzul: so the guy you are paying to do the backend hasn't produced any product at all?
(12:00:51) Eli z: he has
(12:00:58) Wezzul: do you have it?
(12:01:01) Eli z: yes
(12:01:03) Eli z: online
(12:01:04) Wezzul: ...
(12:01:08) Wezzul: so download it
(12:01:08) Eli z: not on my computer
(12:01:10) Eli z: how
(12:01:11) Wezzul: ftp
(12:01:33) Eli z: forget it
(12:01:38) Wezzul: too much work for you?
(12:01:42) Eli z: you could have helped by now
(12:01:44) Eli z: bye
(12:01:46) Wezzul: no i couldnt have
(12:01:53) Wezzul: i'd have had to download wordpress AND download the files from your webserver
(12:02:04) Wezzul: which is something you should at the very least be able to do....
(12:02:14) Wezzul: that's like webpage 101 shit there....
(12:02:53) Wezzul: definitely something you should learn to do...
I would like to point out that Eli Z actually runs/ran a webhosting company, but doesn't know how to FTP files. This is literally amazing to me. So, if you are looking for hosting, steer clear of siaro.com
Update:
I talked to Eli Z (also can be IM'ed at Siaro1), and sent him the link to this post. What follows are his thoughts on the post, and, his idea of the proper time to beat off, and his candid feelings on Eli P, his archnemesis:
(00:05:26) Wezzul: http://wezzul.com/AIM-Convos/758/Failing-Youth
(00:05:56) Eli z: Cool. Thanks!
(00:09:15) Wezzul: it just cracked me up how lazy people can be, and unwilling to help themselves....
(00:09:55) Eli z: I was in the middle of doing something which occupied my hand which didn't allow me to type or do anything.
(00:09:58) Eli z: If you get the drift.
(00:10:26) Wezzul: you were beating off?
(00:10:50) Eli z: possibly.
(00:11:06) Wezzul: nah, i think you're just dumb...
(00:11:12) Wezzul: but i guess oyu could be DUMB and have been beating of...
(00:11:29) Eli z: Think whatever, but at least remove my sn, please.
(00:11:32) Eli z: Or delete the z
(00:11:48) Wezzul: if i remove it, it takes away from the authenticity
(00:12:02) Eli z: make it a "p" then
(00:13:56) Wezzul: well, then it would be about someone else...
(00:13:58) Wezzul: like Eli P
(00:14:08) Wezzul: i don't wanna call out Eli P as lazy
(00:14:11) Wezzul: when clearly, he isn't
(00:14:19) Eli z: How is that clear?
(00:14:30) Wezzul: because I know Eli P
(00:14:33) Wezzul: he's a stand up guy
(00:14:36) Eli z: No he's not.
(00:14:41) Wezzul: he can open a document too
(00:14:53) Eli z: I know how to open a fucking document.
(00:15:10) Wezzul: uh-huh
(00:15:10) Eli z: I was just busy because I have better things to do than post some covo on my blog.
(00:15:18) Eli z: I hope you get a life.
(00:15:21) Wezzul: is that because you don't have a blog?
(00:15:27) Wezzul: because you can't find anyone to code one for you?
(00:15:37) Eli z: I have one already coded
(00:15:58) Wezzul: did you pay someone for wordpress?
(00:16:27) Eli z: No, I found out they didn't use WP.
(00:16:37) Wezzul: how did you find out?
(00:16:54) Eli z: I compared the code to that of WP, which didn't match up.
(00:17:22) Wezzul: YOU compared it?
(00:17:26) Wezzul: or you had someone else compare it?
(00:17:30) Eli z: No, I did.
(00:17:50) Wezzul: hey alright, i'm actually giving you a hand now. I now know you are one step closer to being Eli P. You can open a document.
(00:19:09) Eli z: I'm thrilled.
(00:19:25) Wezzul: i'd be thrilled if i learned to open a document too!
(00:20:25) Eli z: Is there anything you actually want? I don't see the purpose of continuing this conversation.
(00:20:48) Wezzul: i just wanted to point out what a lazy moron you are, but I think that point has been made... good day to you sir.

(00:17:50) Wezzul: hey alright, i'm actually giving you a hand now. I now know you are one step closer to being Eli P. You can open a document.
(00:19:09) Eli z: I'm thrilled.
(00:19:25) Wezzul: i'd be thrilled if i learned to open a document too!
(00:20:25) Eli z: Is there anything you actually want? I don't see the purpose of continuing this conversation.
(00:20:48) Wezzul: i just wanted to point out what a lazy moron you are, but I think that point has been made... good day to you sir.
Well, since the last time I posted, things have most certainly taken a turn for the worse as far as Detroit sports are concerned. Most recently, the Tigers lost three of four to the Yankees, and four in a row overall, being shutout twice in a span of two days. However, after last nights bottom of the ninth, come from behind win against the Bronx Bombers, things are looking a bit better. The Tigers begin a weekend series with the Boston Red Sox today, continuing their three series streak of playing some of the best teams in the AL (the next series is against division rival Chicago White Sox). To be considered one of the elite teams in the league, they need to have a good showing over the next six games, especially since they lost three of four to New York. Sure, the Tigers are still in first place, sure, they still have the best record in the major league, but when you play the Kansas City Royals as much as the Tigers do, that definitely helps.
The Detroit Pistons now stand behind in their Eastern Conference Finals series with the Miami Heat, three games to two. Games three and four both showed why Dwayne Wade is considered one of the premiere players in the league right now. Not only can he drive the basket and make circus shots, but since last year, his jump shot has greatly improved. He's also clutch. Like Michael Jordan kind of clutch. He wants the ball with the game on the line, and he hits when it is. The Pistons did win game five though, facing elimination for the third time in these playoffs (two elimination games against Cleveland), and looked good doing it. The defense was smothering, the offense was potent, and they kept Wade and Shaq in check enough to win the game. That leaves two more games, that are both must win for the Pistons. The first of those is tonight, we'll see what comes of it.
Briefs:
*Mike Maroth, who is probably having his best season as a Tiger (due in part to Kenny Rogers' arrival) is having arthroscopic surgery on his elbow today to remove bone chips and could be out up to three months. This is a huge setback for the Tigers, as they don't have a readily available starter to come in and take over. Roman Colon started for Maroth on Tuesday. He gave up five runs in two inning of work. On Sunday, Zach Miner is starting. Let's hope he can do a better job.
*Dmitri Young is still a jackass. He is currently attending to "personal issues", and is probably still hurt. The Tigers aren't saying shit about it, and neither is he. Marcus Thames is filling in nicely at DH.
*Wings signed three former drafts picks, goalie Stefan Liv, forward Evan McGrath, and defenseman Jonathan Ericsson. The only one I've heard of is Liv. Not sure about the skill level of these guys, but all three are expected to play in Grand Rapids next season, so don't look for too much.
*The Lions left Shaun King go. Huge surprise. I was hoping they'd start the season with something like two dozen quarterbacks and forty-five receivers. Oh well. They also signed guard Ross Verba. Who?
*The Lions did re-sign Jeff Backus which is a big deal since he's pretty much the only guy on the o-line worth a damn in Detroit. Not to say he's worth THAT much of a damn, but the offensive line has been bad enough that even a slight step backwards would destroy the entire team. Not that that's a bad thing
As an aside, over the next month, I have no less than four Detroit Tigers games scheduled, starting tonight with the game against Boston (Schilling vs. Rogers!). I also have tickets to all three games at Wrigley field on the 16th, 17th, and 18th. With the way the Chicago Cubs have been playing, winning 5 of their last 25, those should be fun games to watch.
