Back from Lakeland

Well, what a time we had in Lakeland.  Made new friends and seen old friends.  What a great time was had down there.

Tigers look like they will be really good this year.  Good pitching and great hitting.  They should win the Central no problem.  But that is why they play the games.  Prince is a good guy.  Signing autographs for everyone down there if you wait in line.  There was a lot more people in Lakeland this year.  Stands were always full.  Hotels full.  Restaurants full.  Good for the city of Lakeland and their businesses.  Thanks Prince fielder.

Cabby looks okay at 3rd and Raburn is killing the ball.  Is this the year Ryan lives up to his potential for the whole year?  Time will tell.  Who is the last man on the roster?  Clete Thomas or Andy Dirks?  Both looked good down here and Thomas is out of options.  We will see what the Tigers think.  Looks to me like Duane Below could be the 5th starter. 

Rose and I also rode about 850 miles on the motorcycle while we were in Lakeland.  Hmmm....Baseball, motorcycles, and BBQ.....what more could you ask for.  Can't wait for the season to begin.....Go Tigers.

PS:  if you are in Lakeland, stop by the field north of the stadium before the game and say hello to my buddy Patrick shagging balls behind the Right Field fence.  He is the one with the first basemen's glove....
