He took a photo with me and grabbed my shoulder and almost pulled me down. Had me laughing. Fernando is always nice to see. And Zach was super nice. However, I was really upset that when Cabrera came by us, everyone who was in the back from where he'd just past by came on our side and SHOVED all of us in the front and begged Cabrera for a photo because they've been "waiting all day." Well so have we! We got to the stadium hours early so we could stand up front. It really disappoints me, especially because these are the same people who cared less about Cabby last year.

Bondo went 7 innings, only giving up two runs on 6 hits. Apparently his velocity was only in the mid-80s though. He’ll need to get back up to speed before he makes it back to the Tigers’ rotation. The camo jersey in that picture is awful. (via Billfer) [...] [...] Jeremy Bonderman got the win in his first rehabilitation start with the West Michigan Whitecaps on Friday.

A lot of the players could have gone in after the first half hour, but Miggy and Maggs stayed out there until it was over. I brought a couple of semi-fans with me, and they were glowing after taking pics with Porcello and Maggs and F-Rod. Photo Day was a great event.

We played the worst team in the West. The "strength of schedule" distortions are so large, the out-of-town scoreboard is virtually meaningless at this point.
