Detroit Bad Boys, a Detroit Pistons community

SI.com has predicted the Los Angeles Angels as the team with the best regular-season record, the AL champions, and in a delicious slice of second helpings, champions of baseball over the upstate San Francisco Giants. Also, the Halos stomp the Wild Card survivor Rangers in the first round. What a perfect year that would be. I couldn't ask for better. Except for Albert, Jered, and Trout collecting some well-deserved hardware.

From Jimmy Traina "A couple of weeks ago, in the "Today on Twitter" feature in P.M. Hot Clicks, I linked to this Tweet from Amanda McCarthy to her husband, A's pitcher Brandon McCarthy. It was then that I knew I had to get them on The Hot Clicks Podcast. Truth be told, I was following Brandon on Twitter for a while before that, and he's easily one of the best athletes to follow on Twitter. (His sample Tweets: "You know when you play 'Risk' and the board gets to the point where you realize you won't win? It's a good analogy for my eyebrows & face." And, "I didn't set out to test the absorbency of my underwear today but by God that's what I've done. #humidity-notpee"). And after noticing that Brandon was one of the very few athletes who actually banters back and forth with his wife, I was hoping they'd bring some of that to the podcast -- and they did. So, if you want to hear about what marriage is like for a Major League player and his wife and then hear said husband and wife bicker and argue (in an amusing way), listen to the interview below or download it on iTunes."
