What a day for Kenny Rogers.

• 200 wins.
• 8 innings with only 101 pitches.
• His club hits 8 HR
• He gets in on the hitting action, himself with a nice double.to the fence.

Its a packed weekend, even with 2 extra days.  I had the day off yesterday, so I used the day time to get a haircut and do some homework.  Eric called me, asking if Lauren and I would like a pair of tickets to the game.  Of course I said yes.  It was a great game, with great seats; second row between third base and left field.  Every foul ball went are way.  We won 8-3 with Granderson hitting a bases-loaded triple.  After the game, there was a 20 minute fireworks show.

Afterwards, we went to McGee’s to celebrate Lauren’s birthday.  It was a big turnout.  I’d say nearly 30 people showed, despite about 5 of the regulars being in VA.  Tonight, we’re going up to Roger’s Roost.  Its kind of for Lauren, but mostly for Kevin M., who leaves for Iraq in a few days.  If you want to say hello, the Roost is at 14 1/2 and Schoenherr.

Tomorrow, Adam is having a pot-luck dinner, then I’m debating on going to the DEMF.  I really only want to go to see The Orb.  Theres a few other acts as well, but none as important to be as Orb.

Monday is Lauren’s actual birthday.  I may come down in time for the parade.  If not, I’ll be over her house in time for some BBQ.

Now I need to find time to finish my homework before Tuesday.

Holy crap.  It just took me an ahour and a half to get home.

Luckily I had the Tigers to keep me company.  They made me proud again tonight with their final innings magic.  We were behind until the 7th where we took the lead with a final score of 8-5.  That makes us 31-14, thats 1 game ahead of the Sox with a .689.

Pistons lost, so what.  Its baseball that I love.  Everyone talked about the possible double championship going into the playoffs.  Parker and the man asked callers which would they prefer if tehy had to choose one.  Now we may not get either.  Wings knocked out in the first, Pistons almost out in the 2nd and already off to a bad start in the 3rd.

No one talked about the Tigers.  Even after their amazing record breaking start.  They lost the Sox series and everyone said, “See, they’re no better.  They’re gonna fail just like the past seasons.”  Pardon my french, but I said “F*** you, you nay-sayers!  Don’t be telling me how ‘you knew it all along’ 30 games later when they took the MLB’s #1 postion and have kept it to date”
