Tonight the Noise Nation introduced a new friend to The Coke in Aguila Gorilla! Officially, the Gorilla is the “Noise Nation Gorilla” but if the San Diego Chicken can officially be known as “The Famous Chicken” our mascot can have two names too!
The Gorilla seems to be a huge fan of Ironpig outfielder Chris Aguila and will jump in excitement each time Aguila comes to bat. The Gorilla made his way around the concourse a few times to the delight of many fans young and old.
About the game tonight.. well the Pigs were outmatched and overwhelmed. There is a reason Durham is now 26 games over .500 and it’s called talent, motivation and energy. The Bulls are charging and I would be surprised if there isn’t a team in the International league who could derail them.
The Pigs head to Buffalo tomorrow and I’m looking forward to some well overdue yardwork this weekend.
OinK!

Was he wearing glasses? 😦
yes, the gorilla is near sighted.
I’m sorry we missed it. Hopefully we will see the gorilla on Thursday.
Interesting vocabulary words in use today.
“Motivation” and “Energy”.
What, were you having beers with JOHN MAYBERRY after the game last evening or something before writing this article?
I remember a coach giving a lecture on “talent, motivation and energy” one time…
Coach said, in his opinion, world-class talent was God-given and, unfortunately, only a small percentage of all players are blessed with such and that’s the way it is.
However, he said, ANYBODY can have world-class motivation and energy, if they want it bad enough.
One of the best leader I ever had the privelage to know… told me once that Motivation is inside everyone. It just takes a leader to bring it out.
Duffy released. Do we see the return of Rich Thompson?
Great costume btw!
Bacon and Biscuits..
I just noticed that now too, about Duffy… I’m a little surprised but then again.. his leadoff stats weren’t impressive and striking out too much.
Love that Gorilla!! Awesome!
