I started singing “America the Beautiful” to myself when I saw this. Not sure why.

It’d be wrong if I went without mentioning Prince Fielder coming to Detroit. I am super ecstatic about this. Prince, Cabby, and Verlander on the same squad is ideal. I can’t wait until baseball season.

Not an MVP performance, but I’ll take it. Let’s go, Tigers. Game Six.

Merry Fistmas.

One more for good measure. Eat ‘em up, Tigers.

Let’s get it. Detroit Baseball.

Justin Verlander is always must-see TV.

This game got really weird, really fast.

Guys, it’s almost my birthday, if you were wondering…

It was a beautiful day for a ball game.

Headed to Detroit soon for my first Tigers game of 2011. Taken with Hipstamatic.

Not to make this TigersBlog2k11, but how sick is Brayan Villarreal’s pickoff move?
