My wife ran it yesterday so I was there cheering her on. I don't know if any of you have gone down to it, but it really is a fun event to go to. The "entertainment" that they had afterwards was stupid and pretty cheap, but walking around Detroit all morning and into the early afternoon with thousands of people cheering for each other is a lot of fun to see.

Three people also died in it yesterday, which is crazy. You hear of one person dying every once in a while, but three is insane. My wife saw the blood of the 65-year old that fell and told me about it before there were any reports of any deaths. Even weirder is that the 26-year-old guy that died was the dude that caught Magglio's HR to send the Tigers into the world series.
