September...I'll start by saying that I do not like September. It is the start of cooler weather...which just means winter is coming quickly. I don't like my kids going back to school either. I'm one of those weird moms that like their kids around. I especially don't like my daughter getting another year older in September...just a reminder that I too, am getting another year older...ick!! And, to add more to my dislike, I just put my baseball bag away to only be taken out again next spring...booo!!!
I do, however, love this time of year for baseball!! The season is winding down, and the playoffs are coming!!! Now, I usually like this time better if my team, the Detroit Tigers (duh!!!) are doing well. 2006 was a fantastic year! Still to this day of watching Maggs hit that home run to go the the World Series gives me goosebumps!!! (and I LOVE watching my beloved Polanco run around the bases jumping like a 4 year old!!) The last few years have been okay, but I've watched with despair, as my team has faded away from winning the division....and I won't even mention game 163...oops, just did...UGH....
This year the Tigs look great!!! Today was a perfect example...down 8-1 and come back to win 9-8 with a walk off homer by Miggy!! Awesome!!! I have high hopes for the team...another World Series? I guess we'll just see, but this time of year is my favorite!!! :) :) :) Let's go Tigers!!!!
