Polly, Los and Brando are buying lunch tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!

I am upset I can't get a free Arby's, since you have to live in the Detroit metro area to cash in on this great promo... And we don't have a good enough team in my area to have something like this.

65 degrees when the game ended;


Home Plate umpire Tom Hallion wore a light blue shirt

too bad the base umpires wore long sleeve windbreaker jackets


wasn't that cool; 70 at game time; 65 by the end; calm winds; they could have all worn blue shirts


Cuzzi and Crawford usually wear light blue shirts; as does Brian O'Nora

I'm glad Edwin and Washburn were 2 and 3 in the league in ERA at the ASB, now they're far lower.
