Even with brats and beers, the evening set me back less than $20. Plus we had 4 innings of pitchers' duel, and then two big multi-run homers by the home team. Gotta love the minor leagues! |

Sox won last night. So did the Yankees, but oh well. You can't have everything. Where would you put it? (Sorry about your M's, DJ.) |

Ooh! Detroit, Michigan is closer to Nyork, Nyork than Seattle, Washington. |

Back then, every town seemed to have a minor league team of some kind, affiliated or not. And every town supported the heck out of <b>their</b> team too. Alas, a quieter, gentler age........ |
Curtis Granderson (6'1, 185#, 26 y.o.] is nice young man from Chicago (Blue Island, IL and UIC) who plays centerfield for Detroit since joing the Tigers in 2004.
"Granderson joined the 20-homer, 20-triple, 20-double club with Brett, Mays in 1957 for the New York Giants, Jeff Heath of the Cleveland Indians in 1941, Jim Bottomley of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1928, and Frank Schulte of the Chicago Cubs in 1911. Granderson is one stolen base away from his 20th, which would put him in company with just Mays and Schulte." - usatoday.com * *Actually: 36-2B; 21-3B; 20 hr |

The public survey they conducted was about 90% against changing, so they're going to stick with Beavers. Since the team has had that nickname ever since the Pacific Coast League was formed in 1903, it's the right thing to do. It especially sounds much better than one of the suggested changes - the Wet Sox. :eek: http://portlandbeavers.com.ismmedia....omerArmsUp.jpg |

Besides, looks like your crew is ahead again tonight, Mick. Sox are up early, too. |
