I am heading to Detroit tomorrow morning for the Tigers/Athletics game. Then I am heading down to Cleavland for the Indians/Yankee game on Saturday Night.

Sounds like a good time, Comerica is a nice place to catch a game. Just make sure you park close to the stadium in parking lots that don't look shady. :lol:

The Cubs board has the most posts of any baseball forum. Huzzah!

Brewer's board post about Ryan Braun
(I mean he wouldn't have hit the rookie wall or pitchers wouldn't learn his weaknesses or anything.... Ryan Braun is god by the way)

Had he played an entire season

162 games
.349 average
50 home runs
133 runs batted in
230 hits
24 stolen bases
128 runs
41 doubles
7 triples
147 strikeouts
50 walks
.395 on-base percentage
.665 slugging percentage
1.060 on-base + slugging percentage

How's that for a season by a 23 year old? Only flaw is the 147 strikeouts.

at this time... chicago is dominating the front page news of real gm... for the nba it has the antoine walker/eddy curry robbery story... in CHICAGO, for MLB it has Cubs claiming Podsednik, and for the NHL (some hockey league i think), it has the hawks resigning james wisniewski (that's big news?).... what a great day to be a chicago sports fan!

Wow what a game.
2 grand slams
Tigers came back from 8-1 down.
Athletics won 16-10.
3 1/2 hour game

Hopefully tomorrows game will be just as good.

Would be better than the NHL boards.

If the Sky do bad and get Candice Parker in the draft, I will support the Sky. :eyebrows:

Dupree and Parker would bring a title easily.

hey SW... did Joe Blanton pitch for the A's.... and if so please tell me he got the win at the very least...

Posey H8er · Post #73 » by **Posey H8er** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 3:28 am

Bonds hits 758 tonight.

SportsWorld · Post #74 » by **SportsWorld** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 3:28 am

Blanton gave up 9 runs in 4 innings
No he didn't get the win

I had really bad upper deck tickets but there were some empty seats in the bleachers I sat in.
Very nice park.

How is the city of Detroit?

I still thought the Old Tiger stadium was nice.

When you come into the city you pass right by the old Tiger Stadium.
Ford Field (Detroit Lions) is right next to Comerica Park.
I ate at the Hockeytown Cafe.
I still can't believe they still care about hockey here

Some cities still hold hockey to a high standard like Detroit and Pittsburgh, and Canada.
Heck, they keep talking about the Hawks on the radio here. We extended Denny, picked Patrick Kane #1, Jonathon Toews is up and coming, and blah.

Midget in the middle!
