...Left That One Outside Like An Unmowed Lawn...

Saturday. Outlaws lose last night, but the pitching has seemingly been excellent, from both sides, all homestand. Evan White starts tonight, and he's been a top performer all season long.

I did get the unfortunate news that I won't be traveling to Canada with the team on the upcoming trip. I definitly understand a three-leg trip full of flights would be expensive to send me on. And, I've gotten to reflect on how well the Outlaws are dedicated to their broadcast. The fact that they drag me everywhere with them has really made the summer worthwhile. Being the 25th member of the traveling crew, I've come to understand the day in, day out nature of the season itself. The travel, the game, the city, the weather, the hotel, the bus, the food...it all cumulates into one festering, alive, fluid feeling of a team.

You'll be in good hands though. Edmonton and Victoria both broadcast, so you won't miss a pitch.

Enough poetics. Here's today's game notes:
