Comerica is a great park. Obviously I have little to compare to as I haven't been to many other parks, but I've always had good times there. Typical day is like today, drive over to Detroit and park on Gratiot street, walk to the park and scalp tickets (or just buy at the box office, standing room is only $17) and just get wastey off $5 beers while shouting for Andy Dirks to do something. BASEBALL!

The Braves Greg Olson was a Catcher. I want to say Gregg Olson (the O's reliever) did play for Atlanta at one point. He may have even caught for him at one point, I can't remember.

Actually going to check out "U.S. Cellular Field" (fucking hate corporate names) next month when I'm in Chicago for Riot Fest. Cubs are on a road trip that weekend or I'd hit up Wrigley too.

Citi Field is a gorgeous park, able to walk around the entire stadium so you can check the game out from any angle. PNC Park is really awesome as well, if I lived in Pittsburgh I'd go out of my way to go to a shitload of games.

In terms of other active stadiums I've only been to New Yankee Stadium and Citizen's Bank Park once each, both seemed nice. Also only went to Fenway Park once but it was in the late '90s so I don't remember a whole lot about it, have to go again.

I've been to Coors Field, Nats Park, Camden and Fenway. Nats Park and Coors were great, Fenway on the other hand felt so cramped (this and the Coors visit were in the mid 90s so Coors was fairly new at that point) and Camden was in Baltimore. Camden is a nice stadium, but you have to deduct points for that town.

My brothers were just in DC for a game (The Harper walk-off HR) and were not impressed with the stadium for whatever reason. Personally, I love PNC in PBurgh.

As tired as I am of this entire PED thing, I might have to tune into the game just to see the crowd reaction. Should be one for the ages.

I liked it. Parking was a problem because your options are pay a bunch to park close or pay a little to get murdered, but the park itself is nice. They've got this green steel and brick scheme going on that's pretty cool. And they have memorabilia and historical stuff scattered everywhere inside the park which I appreciate. It's not as great as PNC or AT&T Parks but it can hold its own.

Really the only teams that need new stadiums because they're so shitty are Tampa Bay and Oakland (unfortunately).

Everyone else has a brand new state of the art palace, a place that's kind of old but has been renovated to something comfortable, or a(n) historic landmark if ballpark where people would riot if anything happened to it.

Fucking Valdespin. He's already serving a ban now for hot dogging a home run trot and instigating a brawl. He called Terry Collins a cocksucker a month ago. He show boated while down 10 runs and got pissy when his team didn't stick up for him. He hit below the Mendoza line.

He's a cancer. Release him.

Supposed to be announced later today.

Edit: Turns out it was a lot sooner than later. Officially suspend till end of 2014 but can play while appealing since MLB dropped that part of the demands.

Yankees will owe him an extra $6 million if he ties Willie Mays in HRs (13 away).

Suspension doesn't go into affect for A-Rod until Thursday, so he's in the lineup tonight apparently.

Anyone memba when people were marveling over the Pineda/Montero swap?

As far as the suspensions go. Tigers look smart for shoring up SS at the deadline. Wonder if Texas will be looking for a temp bat or if they'l just bite the bullet and platoon Jeff Baker and David Murphy in right since they sound averse to putting Profar out there.

Pineda has been pitching in Triple A for a month and a half. Feels like that 1 season 2 years ago was a fluke and they're afraid to pull the trigger and put him in the big boy rotation over Pettitte or Hughes.

6 starts 23.1 innings. FIP of 3.11 and 10 k per 9. Decent numbers but it looks like they're being very careful with him. This late in the season would be shocked if he does anything other than start a 2nd game of a double header or come up as a reliever in September.

There's tons of places to park close (~3-4 block walk) to the park "if you know where to go", but that's true of any city really.


Coming from the Canadian side is great too, because if you don't want to drive you can take the tunnel bus over that basically drops you off at the front door.

Thing I love about the Iglesias pickup is that even if Peralta wasn't being suspended, he's a FA after this season anyway and most likely gone from all reports I've been hearing, so it was an inevitability regardless. Loving the kid so far.

90% of the time I go I end up parking on Gratiot and Antietam, but lately I've been seeing a lot of broken glass and cars being broken into ETC so I'm a bit wary. But it's a good way to beat the traffic rush and not pay for shit.


I'm down anytime I'm in town. I live up in Cambridge ON now so I don't go to as many games as I'd like to, but I come down to Windsor on weekends often. I always try to hit up the Sunday afternoon game if I'm in town and Tigers are at home. I think the next time I'm going to be down is the last weekend of August, so "in theory" the Sept 1 game I would go to... but I have like 3 fantasy football drafts that day so I don't think I'll end up going.

I don't know when my next venture down will be. I'll try to remember to hit you up on FB next time I for sure have plans to go. This weekend was kind of impromptu (decided Sat. night that we'd go to the game Sunday) so it was kind of hard to plan around.

He came out of the game the other day because of shoulder tightness or something and is going for MRIs. He's coming back from serious shoulder surgery that a lot of pitchers don't come back from the same player, I don't think they're gonna rush him at all.

I understand Pineda's ordeal but it just seems like a wash with 2 lost years and probably at least one more year of "feeling out." The trade was not good for either side, I guess was my point.

Never expected the Braves to run away with the division like this.

I didn't either, but I thought they would certainly make the playoffs. Still, the offense has under-performed for a good portion of this year, and the Braves don't really have a shutdown starter, so I don't know what the playoffs will bring. Bullpen has been unreal considering they lost Venters and O'Flaherty, so if the offense can hand the game to them late, we could make a run. But I don't think the Braves could handle the Tigers (just from the way they dominated the interleague series).

And yeah, I do believe the Braves have the easiest remaining schedule in the league, so they should get top seed.
