First, the Detroit Tigers signed Prince Fielder. Then, one of their damn fans topped the board last night in Game No. 168 at Guthrie's Tavern. And in just his second game ever.
Kevin Schiferle kept predicting an imminent comeuppance as he gobbled the East, slowly at first and then in large chunks. The time limit came first, however, leaving Schiferle atop the board with 13 centers.

Prime Weasel Dan Burgess prefers the host's apron to the diplomat's pen. That's well known. But every once in a while, he'll pick up the pen and try his hand at the game we all love. And on rare occasions, he'll even top a board. Today was one of those occasions.
