2 Years and Counting

Besides today being tax day this is also the 2 year anniversary of my blog. I originally planned on writing something up that would be funny about the weird searches that people have made that led them to my blog such as "comparing bcs teams to candy bars". However a couple of other cool things happened that I wanted to write about.

1) Tornado (almost)
The other day Demoree and I were driving over to my apartment after getting a couple movies (Dan in Real Life = good & The Kingdom = bad). At the time we were under a tornado watch and there were some pretty nasty looking clouds.

The clouds were looking pretty wicked when the clouds started to turn. No funnel ever formed but as you can see in the picture below the clouds were rotating and had some vorticity.

2) Tigers Game (second of the year)
For my upcoming birthday Teresa & Chad and Renee & Tom got me two tickets to the Tigers game last night. I took Demoree to the game and our only concern was that it was going to be pretty cold out (fortunately it didn’t drop much below 45 degrees after the sun went down).

We sat down in our seats and as it turns out they got us awesome tickets…row 3!!! We were right along the right field foul line with an awesome view of the field…it felt like we were actually on the field.

The view from our seats…sweet tickets (thanks siblings).

The bummer thing was that starting in the second inning the Tigers looked horrible. Like they were having unforced errors and giving up runs semi-frequently. Things were looking really bad when the Twins scored 3 runs in the 6th to give them a 5-0 lead. However the Tigers came back that inning with 4 runs to make it 5-4, but the start of the next inning they gave up another 4 runs…opps. At this point it was 9-4 and the crowd started heading towards the door (the thought crossed my mind since the feeling in my toes was starting to go away). Then it came to the bottom of the 8th inning and the Tigers finally looked like the great team they are suppose to be. In that inning they batted all the way thru their order and scored 6 runs giving them an 11-9 lead!!! In the ninth inning the Tigers got 1-2-single-walk-3 outs, which gave them the win.

Scoreboard! Scoreboard! (in the typical high school game chant voice)

Since the Tigers have really been struggling at the start of the season it was pretty obvious that this come back from 5 runs down really was encouraging for them. It was clear that they celebrated this win a little more than the typical April victory.
