Who knows who will be able to take time this afternoon to watch the game with the nephew and I. These noon starts during a weekday are hard to predict – especially after such a spectacular failure last night. I guess if you are going to mess up, mess up big! And wow, what an odd lineup today. It seems like Detroit is a place that requires some creativity from the management!

I’m not sure that I have ever been happier that a series was over. Yuck.
