OT. Take me out to the ball game

Submitted by Blue boy johnson on
Opening Day! Porcello on the mound, Cabrera on his way to a MVP season, Willis back and dominating, Jackson already better than Grandy, Let's get it on! AL Kaline on WJR this morning talking about his new book, sounds like a good read. On a sad note Ernie too sick to be at the Ball Park, you will be missed Ern. The Tigers poised to be good for the next decade, thank you Dave Dombrowski

home opener i went to was in 2002... my buddy called me early in the morning and said lets go to the home opener, i didn't have to work that day and i said ok... he came over to pick me up and we left... we got across the border and parked in a lot on woodward... now we brought a couple of "lefties" with us so we wouldn't have to spend alot on booze... well as soon as we sparked the first one, someone knocks on the drivers side window... the person goes into this whole thing about how were facing serious charges for what we are doing and so on... me and my buddy look at each other and we both know that we are fucked... all of sudden the guy then says "you're facing serious charges for not partying enough on opening day"... it was a fucking street vendor selling 1984 tigers painter caps... i nearly jumped through the window and killed the guy... we bought 2 of them get him to go away... just before he left he made a corny comment about realizing what we were doing so the "no partying charges" were going to be dropped... after we were done, we walked down the street to the state theater and started drinking and found out that mitch ryder was playing... all of that was the highlight of the day because the tigers sucked that day and it was so cold... it was sunny, then it rained, and then it snowed during the game... we left after the 6th inning when our buzzes were starting to wear off...

I just said that to my best friend. I get chills whenever I see that Maggs walk off HR. I remember it being the weekend, we were partying at a friends house and it basically went dead as we were all around the tv, then as soon as Maggs hit the HR the place went crazy again. And why did they lose to the Cardinals? Man they had sumthin like 84 wins that year.
