Tigers vs. Twins

Here's Old Tiger Stadium.. also, it's raining really hard, and we're beginning to think the game might be rained out.

here's another shot at Old Tiger's Stadium.

And one more

The rain stopped, we parked, and walked, and around a few corners: Comerica Park!

Woot! Me, My Glove, My Hat, My Wave, and Comerica Park.

And one more time, with a slightly more sinister grin.

Tickets! BDF take note.

Mark told me that at night, the baseballs in their mouths light up.

Bricks.

It was Bat day, for kids under 14 I think. Mary managed to get one for the child on the way.. and made a present of the bat to Mark.

And here's my first look at the field.

And here's the view from our seats. Spectacular!

The Detroit Skyline looked pretty good.

People were starting to warm up, and the grounds crew was doing up the chalk lines.

Nice Scoreboard/Sign.

The Jplant and Kara

The Joel and Leslie

Awwwww!

Me and Rachel. We're Adorable!!1!

Here is chalkman, drawing the lines.

After drawing the lines, they pulled the tarp back over everything, in order to roll it up properly... that seemed stupid to me.

Rolling up the tarp.

I guess it's 956 to that sign.

Mark VA! Happy Birthday!

Here is Mark at the Tigers game. [suitable for framing]

DY is down there.

Woo for Inge!

Where's Cobb's number?

They're almost done with that tarp.

And now they spray down the dirt.

Operating the hose is a 9 man operation.

Kids take the field...

And the MLB players join them.

And the kids are instantly sent back to the seats.. Oh well.. Game On!

Dan holds a glass that does little to affirm his manliness

Here we go with a man on first.

Jplant bought a piece of pizza.

Rip Off'D!!

A long fly ball to the wall..

Inge at bat.

We had an awesome view of the game.

Cubs didn't play until evening.

Guillen is up, and we're tired at 1.

He's about to swing.

Here's a swing.

It wasn't empty, but certainly wasn't jam packed either.

Meeting at the Mound... pretty kewl.

Man on first, we could use a hit...

Here's the swing.. base hit!

Another swing.

The pitch is on the way.

Here's a look around the stadium.

After almost every inning they gave out another one of those powerwheels Hummers to some little kid.. You can see them out by the gate.

there's another winner on screen. You can also see the 4,612 FT sign on the GM Building.. up since the All Star Game I believe.

Home Run!!

Another swing.. and he appears to have made contact.

New Pitcher

Go Cubs!!

The weather was perfect! Those fountains looked inviting.

7th Inning Stretch time. Jplant and I sang "..for the Cubbies". We also shouted "Go Cubs" and "Let's Go, Prior" quite a bit.

You can see the progress of the other games.

Dan!!!1!

That dude was wearing a "Player" jersey. He... was a "dude".

This is awful.
