Tigers, Tigers...

...are free of the Metrodome! Hosanna. I hated that place. Hated everything about it (including the way those conniving Twins would turn up the blowers at the outfield fences during the away teams' at-bats in the late innings of close games. Don't deny it, Twins. You know you did it).

When they dynamite the Metrodome, it will exorcise any number of horrible memories. I'm sort of glad the Tigers' last game there was a win. It's a small refutation of the occult influence that monstrosity had over Detroit baseball for the last 40 years.

Speaking of demolitions: on a sadder note, the last bits of Tiger Stadium are apparently gone, or about to be. Here's a neat video taken from an RC plane last summer, when the demolition was in process:
