Happiness is a Michigan Baseball Game

Aaah, Tuesday night at the spanking new Wilpon Baseball and Softball Complex in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  The University of Michigan versus the Western Michigan Broncos.  7-4 win!  I'm always happy whenever Kalamazoo gets beaten, just because my sister lives there, and it is the alma mater for both she and her husband.   Yuck.  Sometimes we call her immediately to let her know of the pitiful loss.  Sometimes we play dumb, and just innocently ask her husband if he knows the score, whereupon he usually swears before hanging up.

GO BLUE!

I'm equally as happy when Michigan State gets whipped.  YEAH!

And now, we will have the opportunity to annihilate  those wretched BUCKEYES on Friday, the day of the official inauguration of the new stadium.  OH YEAH!

  Here's Tarzan, practicing his swing below.  He has all the mannerisms of a ballplayer, but he has stopped the spitting part, thankfully.















Notice the huge cranes in the top photo?  That's for renovation for the football stadium.  Wow, big stuff.  Every time I drive by it, I am in disbelief.  Of course they can afford it, with the football prices they charge.  Can somebody please buy the Pfizer facilities, and offer more jobs to this area?  Thank you.








Did I mention how fantastic these guys play?  I am so impressed.  Somebody call a recruiter!  I have to admit, I love Tiger baseball, but there is no way driving all the way to Detroit is worth it monetarily for my family and I, both in gas money, and for stadium fees.  They charge too much money for a game at "Comerica Park" (I still hate that name) for me to watch the lousy baseball the Tigers have been playing.  Then, I have to hassle with parking, fight the traffic for the other venues in the area, and drive through crappy neighborhoods.  No, thanks.   I can view it better on TV anyway.  Let's see:  $150 for my family?  I'll take Ann Arbor baseball any day.

Sounds like a nice evening overall, although it looks a little cold. Good thing the boys are amenable to wearing their hats.

I love how you torture your sister with the score, that is HILARIOUS!
I don't make it to many Twins games, because of all the expenses involved. I just hate the parking mostly, it's a pain!
I can't WAIT for our new ballpark in 2010!
I wonder who'll buy the naming rights...we'll probably end up with "General Mills Cereal Park" or some crap like that!

Marie, it's not cold, it's invigorating! Minnie, I say give the new stadium a beer name. That's the sensible thing.
