Warmth coming to us, finely!

Finely we're getting the warmth we've been waiting for.  For the last few weeks it's been in the 50s and low 60s.  Today it's supposed to get to nearly 70, and it's already warmed up nicely.  It's in the mid 60s I'd say, and the windows are all opened.  There is still a bit of a chill in the air, but it's not bad at all.

 

Well some American league central news for you.  The Detroit Tigers were beaten by the Minnesota Twins  9 to 4.  Tonight they play in Comerica park at 7:05 eastern.

The Cleveland Indians fall to a 7 game losing streak, losing 12 to 9 to the Texas Rangers.  In this game the Indians starting pitcher Fausto Carmona was Injured with a hip strain.  More on it in this article from mlb.com

Carmona leaves with left hip strain.  That's too bad, I hope he'll be ready for his next start, and be just fine.  These things happen, it is a part of playing the sport, but still!  It could have been worse, but still...   The Chicago White Sox lose to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 3 to 1.  Here is an article on it: Saunders, Angels stop White Sox winning streak (AP)   Them Kansas City Royals lose to the Toronto Blue Jays 7 to 1.  An article on it: Halladay, Blue Jays stop Royals 7-1 (AP).   Well that's all for now.  We shall see what evolves today!

Realizing a mistake.

When I was naming the 5 teams in the American league Central, somehow I left out the Chicago White Sox.  Although I did mention them after I had written up the list, forgot to mention them in that list of the American League 5.  Oopsy!

Posting, finely!

Well, I haven't posted here in a while.  So I thought I would.

 

Not a hole lot new here, just life going on as usual.

 

It seems that warm weather has been hard to come by here this spring.  It's stayed around the 50s in the last few weeks here in Michigan.  Finely we're headed for a warm up into the 70s this weekend, yay!

 

My Tigers haven't been doing so hot lately.  There Last in the American League Central at 20 and 27.  Not so hot!

 

However, they just got finished with a sweep of the Seattle Mariners which is way cool!  Tonight It's on to them Minnesota Twins!  We shall see how they do against them.  We swept them in Comerica park the first time we faced them in a 2 game series.  They swept us in a 3 game series we played in the metro dome.  So it should prove interesting.  I hope our Tigers can keep up the good work!  We shall see!

 

I have met a really cool person on Philmore (a phone system Greg and I are on).  Philmore has people of all walks of life on it, but for the most part it is visually impaired folks.  A few sighted folks, but not many.

 

Her name is Alison, and she has become my best friend!  She's awesome, and we have way a lot in common.  She's a darn Minnesota Twins fan, and San Diego Padres fan!  She is from San Diego, and has been a Padres fan for years.  She became a darn Twins fan when she started hanging out with her current boyfriend that lives in Minnesota.  She's gotten attached to them Twins, and I'm having fun teasing her about them.  We have fun with it, Seeing there in the same division as our Tigers.

 

For anyone that isn't certain, or wants to know, the central has 5 teams in it.  They are: the Detroit Tigers, the Cleveland Indians (who almost took it all the way last year) the Minnesota Twins, and the Kansas City Royals.  The only saving grace for the Tigers is our division is very close, with the Indians struggling quite a lot this year as well.  So it's still anyone's race.  No one is out of it yet, with still a lot of baseball yet to be played.  Currently in first place is the Chicago White Sox, with a record of 26 and 20.  They have won 8 in a row, with the Indians losing the last 6 in a row.

 

The animals are doing well.

 

Mom and Joe are doing well.  I just got done last week spending nearly a week with them.  Rachel and I went to visit mom for mother's day, and I stayed there for 5 days, before Rachel met her half way last Saturday and I came home.

 

Well, that's it for now.  More later!

 

Oh, don't know that I've mentioned it in here, but mom lives 3 hours away, since her and Joe retired, and got a modular home put up on there property up north.  It's a very nice place they got up there, and there home is beautiful!
