Call-ups
LHV
As previously mentioned, Pete Orr has received the September call-up – don’t think he will be back with the Phils now on their expanded 28 man roster.
In 75 games with LHV Orr has racked up a .267 average, 5 HR and 26 RBI’s while playing 5 different positions.
Good luck Pete!
We’ll miss ya in the playoffs!
PAW
The Pawtucket Red Sox have also completed a number of call-ups including ‘Pig killer Ryan Lavarnway (as Dan had mentioned) and Nate ‘oops he did it again’ Spears who have combined for 100 RBIs in 2011.
Kyle Weiland (P) 8-10 3.58 Felix Doubront (P) 2-5 4.22 Nate Spears (Util) .248 8 HR 45 RBI Ryan Lavarnway (C/DH .295 18 HR 55 RBI
Mr. Landes
IronPigs General Manager Kurt Landes was kind enough give a moment of his time to the Nation. He noted the IronPigs are certainly as excited as we are that post-season Baseball is coming to CCP and looks forward to great attendance.
The Nation wanted to confirm when we Bring the Noise we don’t effect the enjoyment of the game for anyone else in attendance. So bring your pots and something to beat them with. We also hope to have a non-powered megaphone a bugle and perhaps a hand-held siren.
The only items to avoid are of course the currently banned air-horns and vuvuzelas.
Mr. Landes was appreciative of our inquiry and we will respect his wishes when WE BRING THE NOISE!
Go Pigs!
OinK On!

Thank you Kurt! As the Saturday Night skit says “we need more cowbell” . Go PIGS! OINK ONWARD!
Somebody (right or wrong) has been bringing a can-type air-horn to games over the last several homestands, ostensibly in the club level as they can be easily heard on radio…
I know where he is. It’s not the club level. I won’t say because I think it sounds really cool and don’t want them to take it away. He only does it when we score.
I’m not positive, but I think there is more than one of this type air-horn. I won’t complain either since I ring my cowbell at field level – and those near me like it!
Not sure where to put this, but I just noticed from the Philly papers that Chuck LaMar has left his job with the Phillies.
