This should be must-watch TV for Tigers fans: Legendary broadcaster and cancer-stricken Ernie Harwell gave Bob Costas a lengthy and candid interview recently, and the MLB Network (channel 279 Comcast, 213 DirecTV) will air the special at 8 p.m. Tuesday and then again at 10 p.m.

Not that free agency figures to be a big story around these parts this winter -- at last check, Dave Dombrowski was taking in his returnables just to scrounge up enough pocket change to get through arbitration -- but it's always fun to look at the names that might be available.

Still, it promises to be a fun month of October (not to mention a chilly month of November) as the eight remaining teams battle it out for the right to play in what's nearly certain to be a crummy-weather World Series.

There's no word on whether the Tigers plan to discipline Miguel Cabrera for his late-night partying and subsequent domestic dispute and trip to the police station this weekend.

The greatest punishment of all, of course, would be the Tigers losing to the Twins on Tuesday and, thus, missing]]></description>
