Apr 29- Twinkies vs. Tigs

Spicoli (Chris) and Brick went down to Comerica to take in the Tigers game. Santana pitched for the stupid Twinkies. Maggs went deep, Thames went deep and of course Inge with a walk off to win it in the 9th. What a way to end a great game. Great day at the park!! See pics below for more details:

As you can see, it was a glorious day for beisbol (ESP)

Shef pre-game interview

Granderson and Ryan Fields

Kenny Rogers is back with the club. It was great to see him. That guy is a legend.

That guy in the dugout is Calvin Johnson, Lions #1 draft pick. He threw out the first pitch. He got quite an ovation. Welcome to D-Town Calvin! Get used to losing and being a part of a horrible organization, and being frustrated with yer quarterback, and listening to Matt Millen be a moran etc...
At least he got to see a good game.
I can't wait for football season to start.

I really am fond of this picture. Maggs stretching right by Granderson's butt.

Then he came over to say hello to the fans. What a guy!

-Special SHOUT OUT to Chris for scoring some fantastic seats. 4th row!! Thanks Chris!! Look how close we were to Maggs!!

Apr 12-Sadness for Eliot Rosewater*

No, my compu is still not functioning properly. And no, this is not about ERB. I woke this morning to find that the great Kurt Vonnegut has passed on. He is the only novelist I ever considered myself a "fan" of. I read several of his books in my college days: Slaughterhouse 5, Sirens of Titan, Blue Beard, Cat's Cradle, Mother Night, Breakfast of Champions, Galapagos and the list goes on...

Anyway, just wanted to share my feelings about this truly great artist. Today I feel like E is going to feel when Max Roach* passes on.

*If yer not sure, check wikipedia, then you will understand

This compumachine is wack

wack i say

Apr 4-Still Having Issues etc.

I am still having computer issues. Phiul will be stopping by this weekend, hopefully, he will be able to fix it. Still have some Spring Training pix, Opening Day and of course lots of ERB pix to share.

Also, Happy belated Birfday to Ray!! Ray and I spent his birfday (Apr 2) in downtown D-Town soaking up the sun in the upper deck of Comerica Park for Opening Day. Sux that the Tigers lost, but thats ok. Thanks for the ticket Ray, and Happy Birfday again!!

Now.

This is one of my favorites. I love the look on ERB's face.

ERB has crazy hair.

Mar 24-**Action Required**

Look here slackers, these are GB's comments from the other day. The team needs YOUR support! Yes you! The one sitting in front of yer compumachine. Go here to help. I'm not kidding. Do it today.

"Thanks for posting Camille's Champs. It means a lot to me. We were a top team in Illinois last year and hope to do the same this year. MS is the top neurological disease among young adults and we can stop it. Brick readers - make a difference today!"

Mar 21-Important Post

On Sunday May 6, Brick, ERB, Smalz, Phiul and GB will all be walking in the 2007 MS Walk, which benefits the Greater Illinois Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This is a very important cause to GB and all of the Byerseses. I have added a link to the right called Camilles Champs (named for GB's mother). You can make donations and read up on what will be going down in the Windy City on May 6. I hate to hit up both of my readers for donations, but come on, you haven't donated anything this year, and probably last year too.

Mar 18-Spring Training Madness

While in Lakeland, Brick and Phiul took pictures of ourselves with current Detroit Tiger athletes. All of them were friendly and hospitable.

Here is Phiul with starting center fielder, Curtis Granderson.

And Brick with Curtis Granderson

Here is Brick and Tiger GM Dave Dombrowski. He is dorky, but made one nice team.

Left handed starting pitcher, Nate Roberson.

Relief pitcher Jason Grilli. He is mediocre. Check out the tranny over my right shoulder.

This is a picture of T. Francona giving Brick the stink eye. We have unsettled business.

Mar 13-Return from Tigertown

Phiul and I took oodles of pictures during the trip. There will be multiple Spring Training posts, so stay tuned for plenty more action from Lakeland. (I think if you click the pictures you can see them larger.)

On Friday, the first stop was an uneventful round of golf at the Sandpiper Golf Club in Lakeland. Then it was on to Tampa to see the Yankees vs. Devil Rays. Phiul's "life coach" hooked us up with some sweet tickets. Cost unknown.

This picture of A-rod will give you an idea of where we were sitting. Very nice!

Legends Field has all the same monuments as Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Here is a pic of Babe Ruth's.

Here is beautiful Joker Marchant Stadium. The Tigers have been playing there for 70 years.

This is Curtis Granderson giving an interview. He seems like a real nice guy. More from him in later posts.

This is Jim Leyland with his hands in his pants, speaking to Terry Francona before the bean-ball, I mean baseball game. He does not like me very much. The feeling is mutual. Our seats for this game were directly behind the Boston dugout. Many thanks to Fast Eddie.

This is a pic of Gary Sheffield about to get hit in the ribs with a Josh Beckett fastball. Down the right field line you will see the Tigers offices and clubhouse.

Here is Magglio Ordonez lying face down in the dirt after getting hit in the head by a Josh Beckett fastball. Jim Leyland and Carlos Guillen look on. I missed all of the yelling and ejections, as I was using the facilities. Also, Maggs was taken to a local hospital, he will be fine. Later on in the game, Brandon Inge almost took a Beckett fastball off the head. I can't wait until May when we play the Sox for real.

Here is a picture of Phiul and Captain Tall Hat. CTH is enjoying a cold Coca-Cola. Mmmmm...
