That's Lindsey Hunter of the Pistons. I love interviews with Rip Hamilton because he usually says smart things. After Sunday's game he was asked "you had a big early lead then Cleveland caught up and it was tight until the middle of the third. What happened in the third quarter?" and Rip and I both said, "Lindsey Hunter!" You could argue that Lindsey made the difference in the series because the series was hanging in the balance when he came in and the Pistons went on a 9-2 run to open up a lead.
That's Nate Robertson of the Tigers. Sunday he pitched 7 innings of 3 hit shutout ball, the Tigers scored a run in the bottom of the eighth on an error, and won 1-0 to maintain the best record in baseball. Only thing I worry about with the Tigers is I did some calculations last night and they've only played 2 teams all year that currently have a winning record.

Good weekend! The quartet played at Goodnite Gracie's, the big band played in Utica, the Tigers are kicking everybody's butts and the Pistons came through to finish off the Cavs. Here to celebrate is my LP rip of Ella Fitzgerald's "On the Sunny Side of the Street", a 1963 Verve recording with the Count Basie Orchestra and arrangements by Quincy Jones, all zipped up with BIG DETAILED cover scans in an RAR file from Rapidshare.

The II-V-I Orchestra show featured the great vocalist Al Jacquez. Al was a member of Savage Grace, so he is a certified SE Michigan rock star, but he can sing Frank Sinatra like nobody's business. Check out Al's band Measured Chaos at their webpage.
