Opening Day

Written By:  Dan

I've been to a lot of Tiger's games.  But I've never been to Opening Day.  I've never been to a game like this.  The day started early when Annie left to Pick up Em to go downtown.  They didn't go to the game, but rather checked into the Book Cadillac for a Spa Day.  Em came in to town to see Annie "pre-baby."

Hobee and I left shortly after Annie and headed to Aunt Donna's house.  We picked up Mom, Aunt Donna, Lynn, Keith, and Jessica and headed to the DAC for pregame.  After a few buckets of beer and food we headed to the ballpark.   Our seats were great.  On the first base line, just about where our ALDS seats were located.  Here we saw one hell of a game.  The Tigers beat the Yankees 8-3, propelled by 2 Fielder home runs, and excellent  pitching by Drew Smyly.  Smyly took over for Fister in around the 6th and didn't look back.  He retired 12 straight Yankees.

After the game we walked to Greek Town to meet Annie and Em at Pizza Papolis.  Greek Town was in rare form.  A lot of well partied people lined the streets.  

After stuffing ourselves with pizza, salad, and beer we dropped the girls back off at the Book Cadillac (they picked up Desert on the way) and headed back for wine tasting.  

What a great day.  We are lucky to have such great family and friends.
