Never been to Comerica, but I'd like to share my memories of my late father's one and only trip to Tiger Stadium on July 21, 1997:

 

We were sitting in the lower deck in LF, and this was the conversation just before first pitch:

 

DAD: I wonder if Frank Thomas will hit one to us in the first inning

 

ME: No, the upper deck hangs out too far over the lower deck. It will land above us

 

Five minutes later, literally directly above our heads **CLANK**

 

DAD: Oh, I see what you mean

 

Other memories from this game: Only time I've ever witnessed 4 K's in an inning (thank you Wild Wilson). Also, the only other people in our section were two guys who must have had made at least $1K in bets on games every day. One of them had $100 on Alvarez tossing a CG SO at 25:1, and blew a gasket when he got yanked after giving up a 1-out single in the 8th with a 3-0 lead.

Serves him right, those are terrible odds. :P

Well, the Tigers got shut out 1 of every 12.5 games that season and Alvarez was definitely an above average pitcher at the time so those probably weren't terrible odds.

I hadn't considered the poor opposition, but still, it's not like Wilson was some CG artist. Only four shutouts in his career up to that point.

And that's why it's called gambling.

We need a sweep not 2 out of 3

A sweep is not a realistic thing to ask for, especially on the road against the best team in the division

 

need to call up Phegley.

 

He homered off Sanchez last season. :)

On the road to Detroit! Let's get it boys!! Abreu needs to go yard 3 times

Tarp on the field. Looks like scattered storms.

Hawks still gone.

Rod Allan totally sleeping on Q, he'd only lead the Tigers staff in fWAR, but he has a losing record so he must only be average.

Viciedo flies open on every single swing now. His swing is longer than Beckham's at this point. He looks awful up there.

DV that was BRUTAL outfield play.

Viciedo plays a ball into a triple, drink.

Det 2-0

Where's the dude who told me that I can't say Viciedo is a bad outfielder until I've seen him in person and he's just as good as De Aza

This is why the Mariners wont be trading for Viciedo anytime soon

You read the thing Jack Z today? They are a bunch of rascals and nobody wants to trade with them.

Huh?

Viciedo f***ing sucks. Inconsistent, stupid, and terrible in the field. He can't come back next year.
