1. ...and they made it...in one piece.
And even got the giveaway.

Hey, WannaB, there's a rumor in Sports Illustrated that the Tigers are going to have a fire sale. Poppy just told me.

Comerica. :hi:

15. Always...
Because it is Detroit, even though the downtown area is really nice.

If you ever make it for a visit, I'll take you to a game. :hug:

LisaM is coming to town in late June and we're taking her.

And you and LisaM are going to have a great time!

I don't travel much, but we will see.

I really, really, really want to mee you in person. Maybe one day. :hug:

17. What about meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?
I am also going to the Tigers game with MrsG and LisaM -- my first at Comerica!

LisaM and WannaBe will be battling over Maggs; we may have to call in Security if it gets ugly.

20. Or, we'll just get up and quietly move...
Edited on Wed Jun-11-08 06:58 PM by MrsGrumpy
I assumed (and you know what that does ;) ) that bigwill knew that LisaM was your sister. I would never, ever ever forget you on purpose.

WOOT!! Magglio just threw someone out at 2nd from the outfield. And, it appears he got his haircut..not totally short but a couple of inches off. :loveya:

22. I try to keep it under wraps that LisaM is my sister
Don't want the feds to find out....:rofl:

Granderson is my guy but I'm sure Maggs is mega-swoon material with the new haircut.

30. Better warn her that LisaM is aiming to give her some serious competition
She's out getting a pedicure right now in case Maggs has a foot fetish.

33. Hehehehe... I can see them both falling over the railing into
right field. She just said that he is more engaged with the crowd this year. He looks up and smiles and salutes and all that. I remember the first year he was here he barely looked up. I think he's less afraid of Tiger fans after last year. :)

35. No doubt...
One time we were at a game and a fan jumped onto the field from the outfield... My phone immediately rang with my brother making sure it wasn't his niece.

New England is very pretty. You would love it here. :hug: Although it is expensive. :(

26. We will meet each other some day...
That I promise. :hug: I'd love to visit out East again. I loved Syracuse when we lived there.

And, I have extra room here if you ever feel like visiting what is quickly becoming a ghost city. Although, I lived a stone's throw from the water, so you can walk and see the barges. There is a waterfront park at the end of our street. :loveya:

32. I love the water.
We're about 10 miles from the great Long Island Sound. :)

Where I am at now, at my office, the Sound is just on the other side of the highway.

I would never live anywhere that wasn't close to the water. :)

13. If only....
in a company with less than 100 employees, everybody's on a first name basis.

I couldn't even sneak one of my sons in...

12. WannaB and DayDreamin are going to the Tigers game tomorrow
too. Wouldn't it be nice to have (or at least think you have) no responsibilities?

24. The Tigers have a great stadium!
I went to a game in Detroit last year and had a blast. I'm planning to go to a couple of games when I head back there in August.

28. Let me know when you're coming and maybe we can get a group
of DUers together to go. That's what we're doing the end of this month. Plus, if you need lodging, the door is open and I have an extra bedroom.

37. Great game to see
I missed it, but heard that Verlander pitched a complete game 3-hitter.

A sweep of the White Sox would give us some momentum...finally!

And it's always fun to go to the ballpark on a nice day regardless of our record.

They are back at today's game.

They have gotten two nice days out of it.

We're going with 1gobluedem to a game on the 24th. :hi:

39. I saw Verlander vs Beckett earlier this year
Edited on Thu Jun-12-08 01:34 PM by Strawman
It was cold and rainy and we lost :(

I don't think I'll be making it out to any more games this summer. Our first baby is on the way :) (in a month...possibly sooner...or a couple weeks later). :hi:
