Last night we got a rare treat at Coca Cola park, and I’m not talking about the All Star Sandwich (That should be available all season at the AT&T Plaza Grill). Three Ironpig home runs in one game doesn’t happen too often and to have it on such a beautiful night was the cherry on my pork sundae. Perhaps I shouldn’t say that too loud or concessions might give it a try…
Speaking of weather, tonight looks to be a little edgy with predictions of 40-50% chance of scattered thunderstorms. Thunderstorms don’t upset me as much as steady rain does. I came within about 50 feet of getting hit by lightning on a golf course when I was 15 and haven’t suffered any ill effects.

Be sure to bring your poncho (they can also be purchased in the clubhouse store, el cheapo style and even a higher quality poncho is available). I know they are allowed but I always felt umbrellas at a ball game were a little inconsiderate of those around you… especially those monster golf umbrellas. The best place to go during a storm is in the tunnel by the club gate entrance. Folks tend to collect at the ends of the grandstand by 1st and 3rd base and the middle is usually less crowded.
I am looking forward to the fireworks though. We got spoiled last year and towards the end of the season I tended to leave early to beat traffic.
Tonight’s matchup showcases two southpaws, Joe Savery for the Pigs and Glen Perkins for the Redwings. Savery hasn’t looked great so far this season and let’s hope Rod Nichols has some WD-40 with him to take that rust off of this Ironpig.

Interesting lineup tonight with Richie Thompson starting, Mayberry hitting third, Sardhina behind the plate. I wonder how it’ll turn out–assuming the rain holds off.
Uhhh, where was the part where you WHACK yourself upside the head?
Meanwhile, that friend I was telling you about said that since the Aw-Shucks folks added a second stand literally behind his section, he didn’t need to go down there to your part of the world…
He also said he tried the Walking Taco, and it gave him a nightmare… something involving college football and a certain ’80s song I promised not to discuss…
I tried the Walking Taco soon after it was ‘released’ and after all the snarky comments, it really wasn’t great. However, a more appropriate name for it would have been Running Taco in honor of the 60 yard dash from the outfield to the nearest men’s room that resulted.
