Reese to play at the Dow.
Rocket power. This Thursday, the Reese Rockets baseball team is playing Bay City John Glenn at the Dow Diamond in Midland, which is the home of the Great Lakes Loons.
John Glenn is playing a doubleheader, facing Reese at 5:30 and then Birch Run at 7:00.
I'm going to be covering the game for the Advertiser and I'm really looking forward to this.
I haven't been to the stadium yet, but from what I've heard from those who have been, the initial reports are all good.
I've yet to hear one bad word about the field or the stadium; everyone says that the views of the field are great, the seats are comfortable and the scoreboard is huge!
It is a great opportunity for these kids to be the first high school teams to play on the new field...and it apparently wasn't cheap.
The cost to rent the field for play was $2,000, with John Glenn having to cough up half and Reese and Birch Run splitting the rest.
The Rockets are not off to the best start, but this might be just the kind of thing that jumpstarts the team and gives them a boost for the rest of the season.
More about this later in the week.
Tigers are rolling. Even with the loss of Joel Zumaya, the Tigers continue to win.
Despite last night's drubbing at the hands of the Twins (Thanks to Torri Hunter, by the way...he's on my fantasy league team), the Tigers have won something like 10 of their last 12 games and they, at this point in the season, have a better record than they did last year.
Sheffield is starting to hit, Granderson has been solid at the leadoff spot and Ordonez is beginning to look like the slugger who used to terrorize us when he was with the White Sox.
The starting pitching has been pretty good, considering we are without Kenny Rogers for at least until the All-Star break.
I said it in the paper and I'll say it again here....the Tigers are going to win the World Series this year.
