Finally a Win! 8/11/10

Shane Victorino’s rehab assignment made an impact tonight. He tripled, then homered and had a 2 run single later in the game. He surely seems back to his old self. Lots of excitement at the park as Carlos Delgado made a rehab appearance as well.

As far as the rest of the game.. check out the box score.

Some of the more unique moments of tonight…

John Mayberry just about swung out of his uniform Bugs Bunny style tonight. His swing spun him around twice before he flopped, backside first, on top of the plate. He endured his seated position for a moment with a huge grin before he stood up and resumed his at bat. If anyone got a photo of this.. I would love to see it.

Word on the street also told me that the Pawsox bullpen, tired of requests for balls.. set up a paper cup and told fans that if anyone could get a quarter in the cup, that they would give that person a ball. Not sure if any quarters made it in but I heard an almond made it. No word if that fan received a ball. Maybe it’s time to review minor league salaries and responsibilities again.

Tomorrow will be the unveiling or unhatching of a new friend to the Noise Nation. Keep an eye out at tomorrow’s game!

OinK!

    It was a fun night last night. Victorino sure seemed to put some energy and fun into the team last night. It seemed the team had a little boost in its game.

    Watching Ferrous and FeFe trying to get the crowd to do the wave was funny !

    Back at CCP tonight !

    Not sure if you know this but Vogelsong was picked up by the LA Angels and on their AAA team – the Salt Lake Bees. He’s pitched two games for them so far.

    As you know, Kehl, my brother lives in San Francisco and is an admitted Giants fan, as is his wife.

    Their 8-year-old grandson is a HUGE baseball fan. Reportedly, even as young as two, this kid could be pacified by being placed in front of a TV with a baseball game on.

    So, who is the 8-year-old’s favorite team. Well, my brother takes him to Barry Bonds Stadium in the Bay at every available opportunity, but…

    …the kid lives in Salt Lake City and his #1 favorite team is none other than — the Bees!

  4. One of the papers said that a bunch of players, led of course by Tracy, burned the tent Hiroshi slept in overnight… a sacrifice to the baseball gods, or so they thought…

    Those kinds of tents are made of a pretty durable material… and aren’t supposed to catch fire easily… 😦

    R.D.,

    This is why charcoal lighter fluid was invented — specifically for situations requiring appeasement of the Baseball Gods.
