Our friends, John & Canice, organized a group to go to the game. There were 30 of us total, including friends from Texas who came up for the game, Jay & Sue and their kiddos, all 5 Cardinals fans.

It sounds much better when a group of little boys are hollering it at the ballpark.
It was one quick inning after another, with a score of 1-1 going into the 8th. Tigers pulled ahead with 3 runs, and shut down the Cardinals in the top of the 9th.
It was a great game, from a Tigers fan viewpoint... Jay, of course, had a different reaction:
The Park was packed, since the Tigers are doing so well and the Cardinals are a great draw. It was Kids Day, and after each of the first several innings... lost count of how many, the Tigers gave away an electric Hummer to some lucky little kids. It was awesome. They had a bunch of give-aways going on. Not sure how many they gave out, but they were giving away bobble-heads of Polanco. Throughout the game, they'd announce the seats that got free pizza, hotdogs or whatever. One fan won a 7-day cruise. Then at the end of the game, the kids got to run the bases. Lots of fun.
The Tigers fans rule when it comes to The Wave. One time it went around the entire stadium at least twice. Cool. The Tigers rule!
On the way back to the car, the 4 of us decided to go have dinner in Greektown, so we went to the Pegasus Taverna. We went there once before after a Tigers game. Love the flaming cheese... Opa!
During dinner, I noticed that Joycie's nose and cheeks were getting more and more red... though we had all put sunblock on, Joycie somehow missed her nose and cheeks, and she got burned.
The drive home was great. Joycie and Sam kept finding the same song on each of their iPods, timing it so they started at the same time and then entertaining Kev and I by singing the songs together... for us, of course, sans music.
When we turned down our road, there was a doe standing there... she walked across the road, and then decided to hurry on into the woods as soon as I got my camera up. I managed one photo of her. She looks like she is on her way to her fawn (or fawns), because she's full of milk. I thought it made an interesting photo.
