The Next Day...



Hello again everybody...it's Wednesday. A new day to start a new streak. Evan White to the mound, the back-to-back GBL All-Star is a good man to send to the mound for a bounce-back performance.

Above is a picture of me working during the Long Beach series. I enjoy the discussion here at the blog, even when it gets salty regarding the motel and the karma this team may or may not be carrying. This is an enjoyable outlet for me to share informalities with everyone and bring you all that little bit closer to the ballpark. Is there another team in the league that posts their lineup previous to the games for everyone to check in on?

Well, I've got another nugget to add to the fire regarding our peachy stay here in Orange County. The van company we'd leased out left us high and dry last night. The first group was taken to the hotel around 11pm, but that left 9 of us waiting outside the clubhouse for the van to return. A 15 minute, no traffic trip turned into an hour long wait and eventually the need for taxi's. Cash out of pocket on a long trip already...back to the hotel by 12:30 am.

Again...not complaining. That's just the story. The league on the whole has been fantastic regarding their treatment of the players and personnel. Take a look at "Playing for Peanuts" on YouTube. It's a documentary regarding the short-lived South Coast League that only operated in 2007 (and included our very own Blake Gailen). Just one episode into that show and you see stadiums with no clubhouses, showers, etc. Soooo....I don't think there's been a peep of complaint on a regular basis from yours truly...but a spade's a spade and I'll call it that. This is my outlet to talk with you folks informally, and what is...is.

I'll finish the stumping by saying, Vote Nader...and here's your lineups tonight: HA!
