Jak and I are headed to our first West Michigan Whitecaps game tonight!
The Whitecaps are a single-A affiliate of the Tigers, and the park is only about fifteen minutes away. Tonight, they're playing the Lansing Lugnuts--the name was cute when the team was first named in the mid-'90s but at this point, after the closing of the Oldsmobile plant up the street and the virtual death of the auto industry in Lansing, it's more just ironic and sad. Incidentally, the Lugnuts started out as a Cubs affiliate, which meant that Jak got to watch Mark Prior do some rehab there after getting hit by a line drive off Brad Hawpe, but they're now associated with the Blue Jays.
It'll be nice to get outside, do something Grand Rapids-y, and hopefully get myself out of the funk that's been in my brain since Sunday.

I certainly hope I didn't cause and/or add to your funk. BTW, it was good to see you this weekend, we must do that more often :)
