Game 125: Detroit Tigers at LA Angels

Jarrod Washburn is not looking much different than he has in most starts, and a three-run homer in the second inning separates the teams. LAA 3, Tigers 1.

Keep chatting. We'll leave the lights on for you!

There are streets that lead to nowhere, terrible parking situations and horrible layout.

The shortstop on the Great Lakes Loons did that a couple games ago.

Not broke his leg, thankfully, but fouled off his leg. He had to leave the game, poor guy. Hopefully Dee Gordon will be back in time for the playoffs.

This year

The attendance has been great. It’s their third year, and the first couple there was a lot of losing. They are in a position to make the playoffs for the first time this year, and are doing incredibly well at home, so it’s actually fun to come out. A lot of the games I’ve gone to have had more than 5000 people (which is a lot here).

It will be sad when some of these guys get promoted and I won’t be able to see them anymore. It is fun to see Clayton Kershaw pitch and think that I saw him in a couple games before he made it to the Dodgers. :)

Doesn’t help that the stadium is in a bad part of town, and the complete opposite side of the city from the main populous, and the stands look directly into the setting sun. It sucks.
