Bummer. Hopefully you won't have to reformat.

Thanks for the info!

Beginning next week, I would expect only the 40 man and invitees out early and could use all of the fields. the main stadium is open though the restrooms still have their outside doors secured. Yu can use them inside. The minor leaguers will take the field about lunch time as the others finish.

They are on the back fields right now, nothing going on in the stadium. If you park in the back you should see the crowd.

I don't want to DVR 3 games while I'm down there. I am goig to DVR Tiger game on ESPN since we'll be sitting right behind home plate!

I know the Holiday Inn in Lakeland, the Tigers hotel, has a Sports Bar that I am sure would televise the wings games.

Buffalo Wild Wings shows em'. I've also watched them at Lingsters (no food, just drinks), there's one on the north side and one downtown. Both of these have all the sports packages and a ton of TV's.

The Gym sports bar downtown shows all Tigers games and has Tiger memorabilia on the walls, but I'm not 100% on showing the Wings. We usually watch them at BW3 or Lingsters.

And in my opinion, BWW has some of the best wings in town. I'm not into a lot of the sauces myself. Ask a server if a local tv can be turned to the RW's if not on nearby.

Cool, Ty for the info on the Wings games. It will be a sports filled week.

The season always seems so much closer once the pictures start coming in. Thanks once again, Roger. I can't put into words how much we up here in the north appreciate these pictures!

It was another foggy morning on the backfields, noticed Fister and Coke having a toss on the backfields, not many players out today, they finished up early today, but was still a pleasant day out at the ballpark.

**hueytaxi** · 02-18-2012, 04:05 PM

As Jim said, FOGGY! Did not pull the cameras out of the cart. Benoit, Wilk, Coke, Brantly and castellanos spent some time with the fans before they left.

About to let my fangirl side out for a minute.....

**Jeff6851** · 02-19-2012, 06:59 PM

I completely forgot Jeff Jones was te pitching coach

10 more days and I will be sitting in the stands in the sun hopefully.

Is that Henning using a ****ing notepad and pencil?

What is it...1978?

**John_Brian_K** · 02-20-2012, 10:23 AM

Filder is a big dude...no doubt, but recently he does not look as obese as I always thought he was. Maybe that is just wishful thinking because now he is on my team.

I still kind of feel like I am in a big dream with this whole Fielder signing.

**CapitalTigers** · 02-20-2012, 10:24 AM

Fielder arrived at Spring Training.

Over/Under on games until a poster on this site bitches about Prince's baggy pants/crooked hat:

Wonder how big those pants are, if they're baggy on him.

Jason Beck @beckjason
First mammoth Fielder HR for #Tigers: He sends out a ball in BP on back fields that knocks down a branch from trees beyond RF fence.

**Yoda** · 02-20-2012, 12:00 PM

I think I could put both of my legs into one leg and still be able to walk freely.

**tiger337** · 02-20-2012, 12:07 PM

It's good to see Fielder wearing his socks high as he did at the end of last year. That shows that he's committed to being a good third baseman.
