Yesterday turned out to be a very odd day.
Finally have the IronPigs made the playoffs… and it rains. A LOT of rain. In fact, it’s still raining. Weather for tonight’s game is sitting on a report of 50-60% chance of rain all night.
Then you have poor John Mayberry. He wanted to ask a pretty girl to a ballgame and used his agent to extend that offer. Much to the amusement of his teammates, the NY Post got ahold of the emails sent. Read more about it here.
@HunterPence3 “So does anybody want a date with Mayberry?….He’s Stanford educated….”
Really, this has to happen a lot. Ballplayers who do nothing but baseball from April through September don’t meet actresses and super models by just sitting around hoping. My hat goes off to John. He tried. Granted, a trip to Google may have prevented this as the gal is married with a child, but the guy sent a feeler out and was hopeful. Who hasn’t done this? And honestly, who has a better online dating profile than Mayberry?
Occupation: Phillies outfielder
Salary: See occupation and guess
Look: Tall, Dark, Handsome
Education: Stanford
What I think happened was the NY Post found something potentially embarassing for a first place Phillies player to distract him from his game when he’s on a roll. Gee, who would have imagined a NY published paper going after a Phillie…

In other news, former IronPig and current Oakland A Michael Taylor got his first hit this week. He also got thrown out at first base from right field yesterday too. I told you it was a strange day. Read more about Taylor here.

You’ve likely already figured this out, but continued rain does not help the Pigs.
Wish I’d been there tonight. We watched the last couple of innings online and could hear the cowbells all the way out here in Tulsa. 🙂
Awesome!! Wish you guys were with us! Oink!
We’re there in spirit. I blew off the kids’ football game to watch the Pigs online tonight. In related news, my boss called me in this morning to ask me for a giant favor that involved basically doubling my workload for the rest of the year to pull his arse out of a fire of his own making. I told him I’d do it on one condition: If the Pigs get to Albuquerque, I get to take off Sept. 20-21 to drive out there and scream myself hoarse with Noise Nation. Sooooo … where will you guys be sitting at Isotopes Park?
