We're Back

Well, we are home. Not happy about it, but we are home. We are getting so used to being in Lakeland that we know how to get around. The Tigers I think will be okay this year. They should not finish last, but who knows. The #5 spot in the rotation is up for grabs. Porcello looks like he is in the lead for that position at this point. Too many guys are gone for the WBC. I am thinking Jim Leyland is not real happy watching Armando go about 65 pitches last night. I just hope no Tigers get hurt.

The crowds were much smaller and the hotels cheaper in Lakeland this year. Between the economy and how bad the Tigers were last year, I understand. We had fun meeting people and talking to many around the field and out shagging balls. We also learned of a few places to try as far as eating. If you like seafood here are 2 places. Harry's downtown Lakeland was great! And also the Country Catfish. The grilled grouper and clam strips are awesome! If you like strawberry sundaes and shortcake you need to take the short trip to Plant City to Parksdale Farms! WOW~ gained 5 pounds just looking at it.

More later, back to work
