Superfan Heaven

It's a magical time of year in Detroit. A time where at any given point during the week, there are not one, not two, but three professional sporting events taking place at the same time. 'Round here, we call it a "sporgy"...a "sports orgy" if you will.

Being the superfan that I am, this is indeed a wonderful time. Saturday night, we were able to partake in the Red Wings win (yay!), The Pistons loss (boo!) and the Tigers win (yay!). We actually ran out of tuners on the TV (which is hard in our house...it is a nerd den if I ever saw one) and had to resort to putting one of the laptops on the tv stand with the Slingbox running. The sacrafices we must make. Le sigh.

Tonight, the stars have again aligned, though this time they were kind enough to stagger the starts, so we've been able to watch all of the games just flipping through. We watched the Red Wings win (again! SUCK IT, PITTSBURGH!), the Pistons win (finally! SUCK IT, BOSTON!*) and well, the Tigers are scoreless as I type this, but at least they're not losing so I can't complain. Double sporgy weekend. w00t!

Aaah. Nothing like Spring in the D. Gotta love it.

*To my Beantown girls, I still love ya...but it's the playoffs, so all bets are off. ;)
