The Detroit Tigers fell in Game 2 of the World Series on Thursday night to go down two games in the best-of-seven series, but it was hard to find a Tigers player without a smile on his face in the post-game locker room.

"Life is more than baseball," said Prince Fielder. "We're getting free tacos. What's to be upset about?"

Thanks to a Taco Bell promotion promising a free taco to everyone in the United States if a base was stolen in the World Series, the Tigers earned a free taco when San Francisco's Angel Pagan stole second in the eighth inning. The game was briefly halted as Tigers players stormed the field to celebrate.

"Dori-tos! Lo-cos! Ta-cos!" the Tigers chanted, lifting Pagan up into the air and carrying him around the field.

"I've got a team of fatasses," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland. "It is what it is. I'm hoping now that the tacos thing is over, they can finally focus on baseball. They've definitely been preoccupied so far with the taco promotion."

Former Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen left a going-away message on his former team's stadium yesterday upon being fired after just one year on the job. Team staff members noticed Guillen had spray-painted "CASTRO #1" in giant letters on the outside of Marlins Stadium before driving off.

"Yeah, suck on that, you f—kers!" Guillen yelled, peeling out of the parking lot in his Camaro. "Viva la Castro! Viva la revolucion!"

Guillen got off to a bad start in Miami in a preseason interview in which he stated that he respects Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. The manager later backed off of those comments under pressure, but his actions on Tuesday suggest his opinion hasn't changed.

The combative manager also took out a full-page ad in today's Miami Herald in which he thanked the citizens of Miami for his time in their "shit town full of disgusting Cuban sandwiches that taste like pig assholes. Drown yourselves in the filthy ocean waters of South Beach. Fidel > Miami."
