Maybe that's what these slumping Detroit hitters need in this World Series

Toting his tiny aluminum bat, 5-year-old Gage Brookens wandered toward the cage and watched Austin Jackson, OmarInfante and a few other Tigers take batting practice on a chilly afternoon at Comerica Park.

Maybe that's what these slumping Detroit hitters need in this World Series. Metal bats, rather than their weak wood.

"Oh, I don't know if they'd allow that," kidded Gage's grandpop, Tigers first base coach Tom Brookens. "But the hitters definitely wouldn't mind."

Something better change for Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder and the Tigers real soon or their year is going to end real shortly. They totaled only three runs and 10 hits in San Francisco while falling into a 2-0 deficit against the Giants.

He's even greeted by President Barack Obama

Still holding his wallet, he addresses the viewers: "You see this? It's called a wallet. Inside of a wallet, well, that's where money goes. Now do you know what money is? I'm guessing no because you're watching public television. Therefore, you don't have cable. Therefore, you're probably poor.

"Now you may be wondering: Where does money come from? Well, it comes from a magical place called our parents."

He's even greeted by President Barack Obama, working his second job as a mailman. Fallondidn't hesitate to take some shots at Obama either.

"You remember Mr. Obama, right?" Fallon's Romney says. "Last week at the debate, Mr. Obama taught us all a new word: Choke," with Fallon holding up a flashcard with the word on it.

When Obama delivers the new unemployment statistics, Romney then politely slams the door in his face and moves on throughout the house.
