when life gives you a snow-out...

The photo is of the Portland Sea Dogs field:
The Sea Dogs on Thursday dotted the field with 11 snowmen in jerseys and caps -- nine players, a batter and an umpire.

late night thread
- Power Nap after work
- Do all the stupid job jar chores before 9:30
- Go to store and buy No Doze
Dedication for these West Coast Games
I took my nap...
I wound up having to go to Wal-Mart, and the choice was limited, so I just went with the tried and true Coors Light.

Tried to get Reds hat this wknd @ kenwood. Not a big fitted hat guy.
Where does one go for quality adjustable Reds hats? (Don't say Lids)

Well...
My Reds Hats are fitted, but I would be interested in getting a non fitted Reds hat as well...So I guess my point is, I hope someone else knows where to find them.

Zambrano on the Reds and Brewers
While explaining the difference between his poor outing last Monday in Cincinnati and his good one Saturday, Zambrano said the key was the quality of the lineups he was facing.
`'In Cincinnati, they're better hitters than in Milwaukee,'' he said. `'I don't say that the Milwaukee Brewers are nothing, but the offense of the Cincinnati Reds is better.''

great game
That was Bubba's second game-winner in five days.
The funniest part was when the announcers read my e-mail about Bubba on the air...which prompted them to start talking about how C. Trent is a huge Bubba Crosby fan. Because he spent so much time during spring training writing about Bubba. ![]()

Beer Tonight - Stockyard Oatmeal Stout (not as good as Goose Island, my fav. Oatmeal Stout - and the also make excellent Rootbeer.)

Absolutely.

Speaking of which...
Never Know
Granted that leaves you with no lead-off batter 3 days a week and a rotating line up, but so be it. Tell BP to be patient and not swing for fences and he can lead off.

Damn home plate umpire
No Hitter.
I once pitched 4 innings of no-hit softball. I walked like 8 runs home (yeah, I can only pitch practice). Any time they decided to swing it was an out..
