The botched double play.

How come no error on the Dozier/Santana play? Home cookin'?

And here comes another 4 seamer.

Poof went that inning, but at least we scored.

4 seam fastballs at 94, a lot of them by May so far. Gonna have to mix it up eventually. Nice start.

I made it once to the Twin cities in 2 days but was shot for a couple days after. Chicago to Ft Myers in 2 is quite a haul. Back in college made it from the Cities to Ft Lauderdale in 26hours with a friend, but those days are long gone.

1. This got me thinking. Thinking about opening my home, and it is exciting. It was in the 70's way up on the North Shore yesterday. And as our Master stated, anything can happen on a home opener. Last year my water lines were frozen and didn't thaw until May 22nd. So I called the local PO there and had my mail put on hold later this week. Called the shop and did the same. Packed a couple of boxes with alot more to pack. I'm getting pumped. A. Keys. I hope I locked the place and need keys to get in. B. House for sale open houses. This place I'm in here in Ft Myers is for sale. Got a call this morning saying it would be shown between 2 - 3 this afternoon. There goes the nap. Make the bed, have it looking as decent as possible while making a move and get out of here for an hour. C. Tornadoes. I'll be checking the weather forecast before I leave, as Ga, Tenn, Ky and Ill can always have a tornado drop in. D. Blue Ice sounds really nice right now, as the temps here are way to hot. E. Deer. The deer will be in the yard, munching on branches when I get back, and keeping the grass low. They do look in the windows but don't try to enter. 2. The Race. That's about what it seems like driving home. But I always lose it, as I quit driving at night. But the turtle has finished the journey every time so far.

Kepler started for the Miracle tonight and was taken out in the 6th.

I should add that free tickets were given out at Wendy's for general admission, as they do every opening day. Box seats were purchased. That's the reason for the large attendance, as they never know how many free bees will show up.

9209 fans in attendance at Hammond Stadium for a new attendance record. One that will probably never be broken per fire rules. Slegers did a great job getting the first 10 in a row. Niko hit his homer out of the park, clearing everything in right field, and had a very good game. He made a nice pick of a hot smash in the 1st inning. Sha wa was sitting at 96, but topped out at 98. I saw one change in the 70's and several in the 80's but most were wild. He did get a k on one of them though.

the Miracle won tonight with an all time Hammond Stadium attendance record of over 9100. They were lead by Sleger and Goodrum, 3-0.

Off to the Miracle game.

That's one way to get a run.

Two walks for Poof! Why? Havent' they been reading my posts?

Milone is wild, but at least wild down according to gameday.

I've got the May 2nd game in mind myself.

Minor league goes 8-12 against the majors. Twins will have at least 5 games with 5 hits or fewer.

My hope is Ploof will be gone. He'll never be on a winning team.

The minor leaguers break camp today, with one last game at noon, Ft Myers vs GCL.

Injured it sliding, but worked his tail off today. I'll leave the rest for Bob.

Sorry about the confusion. They both showed up one spring looking much bigger thru the chest. I noticed, as did the clubies and grounds keepers. It was obvious, as that kind of change just doesn't happen over the off season.

Did I say they admitted it?

Dan Naulty was the player who admitted using years after he retired.

Cuddy, Dustan Mohr for a couple.

Pelfrey gets his chance. I hope he takes it and shines. but what a bummer.
