What a game.
Some of you may know, others may not, but Blake and I attended Tigers batting practice off Mike Mussina...I mean, the Tigers v. Yankees game last night in Detroit. It is well documented on this blog that i am the resident Yankees fan and it was very difficult for me to watch THE WORST ROAD LOSS IN YANKEE HISTORY. Of course, we will all hear that little stat a million times on SportsCenter.
Let me just say that I give it up to the Tigers, they took the game to the Yankees. To be honest, the game was over at 7-0 in the 4th inning. Mussina had 6 ER thru 3 and then Ramirez gave 1 up. When they brought in Sean Henn, the Yanks had no intention of any heroics. They have bigger fish to fry with the Red S0x coming to town.
All in all, the game was a great time. Blake and I both had some time off work. We made great time to and from the game. I threw a pitch 64 mphs which was a good feeling. It also made me feel like I could have got in there and thrown an inning or two for the good ol' pinstripes. We enjoyed Hockeytown for some refreshments as well as nachos at the park that were delicious. You can never be mad about going to a baseball game in which your favorite team is playing. You just can't.
So there it is. The Tigers take their first series win in 5 weeks. Good for them. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes. Please feel free to use this post as a place to heap it on!

I thought the best highlights from the game were the catch by Cabrera and the three bagger by Casey. I can't believe how slow he looked hoofing it around the bases. Glad you had a good time.
The Cabrera catch was very nice, the Yankees needed at least one highlight in that game. Rob and I were debating what was more embarrassing for a pitcher: walking the weak-hitting Ramon Santiago or allowing a triple to Sean Casey, I think the triple tops that list. The crowd loved that triple.
ALso, to heap it on myself, Casey als scored from 1st on a double by Inge I believe.
Unreal.
How about a nice photo montage showing you guys a the game? Maybe a picture of the nachos. This blog needs more multimedia; links and photos and so forth. It's time to push it into the next level of the blogosphere.
I agree with Jordy's sentiment. If you really want to influence the sports world, multimedia is key.
Yeah, we really dropped the ball on that one. In my defense I was in a panic situation right before I left because I couldn't (and still can't) find my Tigers hat. Next time we blog about a game we went to there will be pictures, I promise.
