Ballin on the football field

so far this season, this has become a trademark around the league and especially with the New York Giants. Most people tend to hate it but I think its pretty cool. Sad thing is its only a matter of time before the league will probably crack down on this

the weekend

With the weekend off from work, I decided to venture to EMU for homecoming on Saturday. I really wasn't expecting to see too many people there but to my surprise I ran into a lot of people I knew in the student tailgate areas. Saw several people that I came in with my freshman year and a lot that I hadn't seen since graduation in April of 05.



After spending a good amount of time catching up with people, I headed over to the game with my good pal Casey and her roomie Bryan who is better known as B-Way. We were over in the student section and I chilled with them until halftime before taking off to run a few more errands around Ann Arbor/Ypsi. Eastern was winning 9-0 at half and ended up gettin a 17-13 victory to get their first win of the season.

While up in Ann Arbor I also went to the mall and checked out the massive World Series gear they had at Champs and ended up picking up a shirt for myself. I headed home at a reasonable time so I could beat the traffic from the Michigan game and ended up hanging out with Sarah after she got off work and watched Game 1 of the World Series. The Tigers scored first, but the Cardinals ended up winning 7-2.

Yesterday I didn't do too much exciting other than go bowling with Sarah and some of her teammates and their boys. I bowled much better than I did a couple weeks ago when we all bowled at ten pin. while bowling we caught the final five innings of the tigers game and watched todd jones almost give the game away in the ninth. fortunately for us tigs fans it was a typical rollercoaster inning that jones somehow found a way out of and the tigs won 3-1 to tie the series at 1.

World Series!!



Man was I excited as ever to see Magglio's walk off homer in the ninth inning send the Tigers to the World Series. Who would have thought this was been the year? We had the game on at work watching at and I remember as soon as the ball left his bat me, Sarah and Marc and a few others in the newsroom being excited about what we just witnessed. The Tigers clinching the AL pennant with a 6-3 win over the Oakland A's and a 4-0 series sweep in the ALCS.
