Today begins a three-day weekend series between my beloved Detroit Tigers and my new hometown team the Seattle Mariners. Ah, the conflict of loyalties….
And I’ve got my ticket for Saturday’s game!
We went to a Tigers-Mariners game a couple years ago, and I found myself falling right back in to root for the Tigers. This year, I’m ramping it up a bit and will actually don my Tigers’ cap. I think I’ll avoid the face paint and stuffed tiger tail this time.
Unfortunately, Amy and Ray won’t be joining me. Ray’s asleep by 7:00, which rules out evening games. Even with a babysitter, it’s difficult for us to get to anything before 7:30 or 8:00. Sunday’s game is at 1:00, which just happens to be during his naptime (when he takes a nap, that is).
This will be my first game of the year, and I’m looking forward to a nice, traditional evening of baseball with a cup of organic microbrew beer in one hand and fresh sushi in the other!
Go Tigers!
