We had a great time at Comerica on Saturday. A couple of Tiger misplays allowed the D'backs to make a game of it, but Munson's monster shot in the 9th was fantasic! (457 feet... longest in ballpark history)

Here's the view from our seats:

I've got a gripe about the official scorer, though. By my count, Bonderman should have only been charged with 2 earned runs, not 6 as in the box score. Infante and Munson committed errors that failed to end innings, and 4 runs subsequently scored (and Arizona's first run was the direct result of Rondell White totally misreading a fly ball to left into a ground rule double. He broke hard toward the diamond, and the ball bounced on the warning track and over the fence. Total butchery!)

Despite that, we had a lot of fun. The young lady from Arizona in the seat in front of us was a good sport, and a good fan.
