Great Game!
I just came back from witnessing one of the best games I have ever been to. It was Detroit at Seattle, Erik Bedard vs. Edwin Jackson. Jackson pitched an incredible game. It certainly was not a no-hitter, but he did pitch out of a couple jams and left the game with zero runs scored against the Tigers after 7 2/3 innings. Relievers did equally well – Bobby Seay struck Ichiro Suzuki out looking to the shock of the hometown crowd. Fernando Rodney came in to close the game, and did successfully by giving up only 1 hit. Another shutout – the second for Tigers pitching within a week. Good stuff.
I had a great time, and was treated very respectfully by Seattle fans.
Before the game Rick Porcello was signing autographs, and so did former Mariners star Carlos Guillen. I also saw Curtis Granderson give some gleaming girl a hug.
One more game for the series. I’ll be at that one also before heading to Michigan for a vacation. I’m already riding high!

Going to the Game
I live in Everett, Washington these days, which is only a half-hour drive to Seattle. One of the reasons I wanted to come here was because of baseball! Everett has a minor league team – the Everett AquaSox – which is part of the Mariners farm system. Of course, I wanted to see Ken Griffey, Jr. and Ichiro play in their home stadium, especially since the Detroit Tigers play them on occasion. I didn’t know how soon that would come true…
Coming up in April I will be going on vacation – partly to Seattle – to see the Tigers! Today I purchased my tickets to the April 17, 18, and 19 games for the Detroit vs. Seattle games. I’ll be sitting immediately behind the 3rd base dugout, which is where the Tigers dugout will be. Last year’s experience in Chicago will be invaluable to me, since I now know how to be a fan of the opposing team. The fans in Chicago (who were sitting near me) were very respectful of me. But, when I got out on my own it was not that pleasant of an experience, which makes the White Sox my least favorite team. In addition to the tickets, I have a whole new assortment of Tigers gear I’ll be wearing to the game.
Wow – this should be fun!
