2018 Reg Seas Game #141 – at Tigers – Fri 9/7

hey 25… I will be at the game tonight, had to sell my other 2 sets of tickets though… have a conference in Belgium that came up after i scored the seats early in the year. It was funny, i was trying to find all sorts of reasons to fly out Sunday night instead of Saturday with my work, but the price differences in flights were so big i couldnt get my work to oblige. nevertheless, i sold them online pretty quickly so someone will get to watch i hope, unless they were a ticket broker.

I will be at the game tonight, i think i will be in the view of the TV behind the plate, but i dont know for sure. Row 5 up on the Cardinals side of home plate.

As for getting them, i hit Stubhub really early in the year and got lucky

I will be wearing my away Wainwright jersey and probably a navy away hat. My girlfriend next to me will be wearing her 80’s home Mario Soto Reds jersey. I was really hoping that Waino woudl get the start tonight, let the stars align, but alas Monday will be for him.

I don’t go to a lot of Tigers games, but it is a nice ballpark, lots to do if you dont want to watch the game..maybe a little too much…a friend of mine i work with here in Detroit at the Art Museum helped with the installation and design of a lot of the Tigers history alcoves and setups around the park.

Anyways, I’m excited to see the Cards, only the 2nd game of the season in person for me unfortunately. Usually i go to a lot of Cincy games in Cincy with my g/f but we have been exceptionally busy this year so we havent went down as much.

As I will be in Belgium next week, i am already getting anxiety over how i am going to keep up daily with the Cards. I havent missed a live game in a long time, and never more than 1 at a time and always watched it on replay on mlb.tv

Anyways….let’s get a win boys!

Go Cards!

i know some guys from way back from JAsper…horse country, i grew up in Indiana, gorgeous part of the state down there…

i will be in Brussels and Ghent…with a side trip to Berlin…not going south…

much respect to your dad Rat!

My grandfather was at Normandy+1 He was a Captain in the antiaircraft division, so set up on the beach once it was taken.

She’s from Cincy and grew up watching Soto pitch and loved him. Often gets overlooked and she likes to wear it remind people of him.

We watch both the Reds and Cardinals games every night together. Split screen.

I told her I should get a John Tudor of Andujar jersey 80’s jersey to match, though i have a hard time thinking of Cardinals pitchers that are overlooked because i remember the teams better. I almost bought a game used Omar Olivares jersey because it was so cheap thinking i was getting an amazing deal only to find out the guy who had it hadnt even heard of him. I balked at the deal in the end, but sometimes i kick myself for it.

Side note…Eric Davis is her all time favorite player. My first gift to her was a signed Eric Davis baseball card from when Eric Davis was on the Cardinals.

Seems like Yadi may be out longer than we want
Shildt said when asked if Molina would catch Waino on MOnday…”that would be super optimistic”

Sounds like he is out at least a week..maybe the weekend series next week?
