In years past, August has brought me baseball apathy. By August I’ve had enough of the park, enough of the food, enough of the losing, and I’m ready for some football. Not this year though. I’m about as pumped for August baseball as I am for April baseball. Why? Dunno. But over the coming days I’ll present ten possible reasons–ten reasons YOU should be pumped about August baseball as well.
Reason Number Five: Weekends!
The schedule for August features a lot of weekend series’ and “wraparounds.” It’s not just a great opportunity to come to the park, but a great chance to maybe come early, have a sandwich, walk around, and enjoy the atmosphere. Or, maybe have a tailgate? Look, it’s the weekend. Relax. Have an adult beverage. Or, two.
C’mon. Where would you rather be?
Last Night:
Woodchucks? I thought it was cool. But maybe we should just stick to being the IronPigs.
Tonight:
Question of the night: Good Elarton or Bad Elarton?

Bad Elarton… he got slugged…
Did the loss turn off a lot of people from bidding on the Woodchucks jays?
I don’t think so. I was bidding only for a short time until it got over my head. It seemed the prices were going higher than previously this year. DiPro maybe could comment better, and I haven’t heard anything from the IronPigs officially. But, if they said it was the “highest amount ever” I wouldn’t be at all surprised. I attribute it to the unique nature of the jerseys and the fact that they look cool.
Also, it wasn’t like we were going to win the game, so why not try to win the jersey?
