Here we go! That's not too shabby, especially since we ran out of players! Blast these guys cause we have them and Louisville
on the road next and that could
get ugly. As Lee Elia would say, 85% of the world's working, the other 15% come here, it's like
a playground for the c*********. And that it was. Thousand of c******, I mean school children
packed Lackawanna County Stadium for the doubleheader. I'm sure none of them saw the second game,
but it doesn't matter, all they do is run around and buy food anyway. Brings back memories of years
past when class day would convieniently fall on the day of the 11:30 game, or when a teachers strike
would allow us to hit the beloved day game. Either way, THIS YEAR WE WON AGAIN! I was also one of
the 83 people who stuck around until 6:00 PM when the game finally ended. The lack of a crowd facilitated
my easy conversation with Creighton Gubanich, who, needless to say, isn't a big fan of mine.
Game one was won on the strength of brilliant pitching from Evan Thomas
who went 6 2/3 and only allowed 1 run. Bryan Ward picked up the save by
throwing one pitch and inducing M-I-C-K-E-Y LOPEZ to fly out. You've read about game 2 on the main
page, here are the details of both.
