the Metrodome eats Tigers

Noms them right up, it does. You can try to tell me that there aren’t any needle-sharp teeth built into that ‘dome, but I won’t believe you, not one bit. Did you see what it did to the Tigers this weekend? It ATE them. It’s got a definite taste for bats, at the very least.

Those were just a couple of ugly, ugly games. The poor starters… Justin looked good for most of Saturday and just couldn’t get any help at all from the bats, and today Kenny pitched well (so I hear; I missed most of the game ’cause I was at the UM/OSU baseball game) but it was all for naught.

A 6-run lead should not be squandered. That’s, you know, pretty basic baseball. You get 6 runs in the first inning, you win that game. Unless the Metrodome is trying to eat you, apparently. And I don’t care how cute Joe Mauer was when he was a wee baby ballplayer, it’s NOT cute when he’s all grown up and hitting runs off your pitchers.

I’m a bit worried that Zach Miner has actually been swallowed by the ‘dome, and we will never see him again.

Things are gonna be kind of lame around here for a few days: I’m dead tired right now from packing and move-out stuff (bye, Ann Arbor! It’s been a pretty great 5 years!), and I’m going to be at the first two games in the Red Sox series, so don’t expect much more than little blurbs on those, as I’ll probably be deliriously tired by the end. And I won’t be able to get photos up right away, as I’ll only have limited computer use for a couple days. So that’s the plan, kids and kittens. Normal service should resume shortly thereafter.

Whatever passes for normal around here, anyhow.
