Went to the ballpark last night for the Tigers vs the Twins. It was a fun game as usual at the Copa thanks to the impressive season our little Tiggers having. As usual the crowd was large, I believe they said 35,870 which is better than the last few years where a Monday night game would get about 8,000.
Sun was beating down on the Left Field sections so we took refuge in the lower level under the concourse and watched the first 3 innings. After that we headed up to our seats in section 340 to watch the rest of the game. This blog will remind me not to ever sit in that section again for a regular season game since it seems people in this section get out of their seats through the whole game making the experience kind of difficult. There are much better seats but they had a special this week were it was buy one get one free.
The game was good due to the matchup of Miner, one of our rookie pitchers, against the hot rookie for the Twinkies, Liriano. But looks as if he is going on the DL since he got pounded for 10 hits and 4 runs in 5 innings. Twins made a nice comeback to put them back in the game at 4-3.
Then the Twins brought in this side-arm guy who made us look like chumps for 2 straight innings but were kind enough to pull him and put in another guy who in 2/3 of an inning gave up 4 walks and 4 runs. We ended up winning 9-3 and now have a 10 game lead over the Sox in the Central and are now 76-36. 40 games over .500! Wow. It's been an amazing year and I can't wait to see how it all pans out!
