Went to the game last night.
Fausto left in the second or third inning, with a strained hip. Both teams had scored. Julio came in and gave up a grand slam. (That is the second one we have given up this season.) I did see Grady hit a home run last night. Aubry almost hit a home run last night. Francisco almost hit a 3 run home run as well, but the umpires ruled it a double. They would've given us the home run, if they knew that we were supposed to win last night. Wedge went out to argue the call, and was thrown out of the game.
The game lasted just over 4 hours. Then there was fireworks. The final score of the game was 13-9. We could've won last night's game. At times, it seemed like no pitcher could get anybody out. I yelled, screamed, cheered for my guys. My mom said that she didn't want to hear me whine all night. Took like two hours, just to get through the first four innings. Was a long night.
Got there early a little before six pm, because it was scout night. My niece ended up being the only one from her troop to walk around the field in the parade. Got to see them, even took a pic of them walking. Mom and I had our pic taken before the game, as well.

In 2006 we drove to Cleveland to watch our Tigers take on the Tribe.
As we neared the stadium, we noticed that many people were handing out cupcakes and small bottles of chocolate milk to the approching fans. As they handed the goodies to us we never asked why. We just accepted them and thought that this occured every home game for the Tribe. We commented that Cleveland had Detroit beat on fan appreciation. Only later did we find out that the treats were in celebration of Sliders's birthday. We had to look in our program to find out who/what Slider was. Nice stadium.
