Day 137 – Tearing the Walls Down

Once again slept in after watching Olympics and then made my across the border early in the afternoon. Once in Detroit I took a walk to see Tiger Stadium, or should I say what is left of it. The stands around the infield are still standing but they are not in very good shape. The construction crew was working in the OF area. I’m not sure what they are actually doing with the land and how much if any of the stadium are they leaving standing. I’m a little disappointed I never got to see a game there.

Had to sit through another rain delay tonight, although this one didn’t last too long. Now I’m not sure if it was the wet grass that caused it or not but the injury to Downs did not look good. If the Jays are to keep their slowly dimming playoff chances alive they need Downs healthy and by the looks of it he could be gone for at least a couple wks. It will mean both Carlson and League will really be relied upon to get the ball to Ryan.

Because of the rain delay it meant I wasn’t back in Windsor until late again but my cousin was still nice enough to come pick me up at the Windsor terminal. Once back at his place it was time to watch some more Olympics. One of the things I have experienced over these past couple days is watching HD television. I have yet to buy an HD TV for myself b/c I’m waiting until I move into a more permanent home so I can buy a really big TV. My apartment cannot really fit a huge TV and I also don’t want to go through the hassle of moving it. I wouldn’t say I noticed a huge difference in picture quality but I’m sure once I’m back home watching my TV it will seem a little worse than it did before.
