As it was, I saw a lot of the action and I learned about the "ground rule double". It was a perfect evening for baseball, with the ceremonial Hebrew National dog piled high with catsup, mustard and pickle relish. Take me out to the ball game!

I have to say, the Detroit fans were obnoxious but you have to admire their enthusiasm. I never, ever leave a game before it ends. I just can't! Knowing you're a fan makes the losses slightly easier to take. ;) I saw the game on Monday and the Nats DID rally in the 9th, but not quite enough to win.

Next time, I may ask you to keep score :-) Jamy - I agree - the Detroit fans were slightly obnoxious in their enthusiasm. But, Detroiters love their sports teams. In fact, most sports journalists think Detroit's main claim to fame is that it is the best sports city in America. Barbara - glad to know you were paying such close attention.

Go Nats! .... whatevah! I don't get sports and if it were up to me, I'd leave the game by the third inning. Playing sports is fun. Sitting around watching them? Never understood the thrill, but hey, GO Tigers!! Go Tigers!

And then the crowd would start chanting 'Who needs money, we want Cash!" (norm) and then it would be tied up in the bottom of the Ninth, and I would tell Dad 'I have to go to the Bathroom" and no sooner would we be in the loo, than there would be the crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd and Dad would look wistfully out the door and mutter under his breath...."Golly"... Yep, I remember Tiger Stadium. Do you remember the Al Kaline Potato Chips?

That must have been great. I sadly was in grad school in W.Lafayette, Ind. But, I recall the game we beat the Cardinals with Bob Gibson pitching, who had been invincible up until then. I'm pretty sure Jim Northrup hit a line drive over Curt Flood's head that was the turning point. But, I do not remember Al Kaline Potato Chips. Maybe I had left home already??

I've just been taking a break from blogging - really busy lately. you can find out what's new by reading Barbara's - well, at least her pov. We just arrived at Chautauqua, aka Lake Wobegon - aka "camp" tonight. I'm taking a "writing the short short story" course in addition to one on photography. So, you might see some new material posted as stories - unless I flunk out. Stay tuned. I'm "stealing" the Carey cottage wifi signal to do a little webbing. Hope things are going ok with you. hi red,

I've been worrying a bit, over your absence I can't comment on the post... I know nothing of baseball, but i'm missing the thoughts of the poster. Hope the lake is good to you, and gives you a wealth of stories. Ah

This 'break' is beginning to look suspiciously like a suspension. How was camp? the writing class? Hoping life slows a bit for you, and we see (read) you soon back on this excellent but neglected blog. Are those dust bunnies I see hiding under that Bengal post ? affectionately, red Ok Dave.
