One Game at a Time

“This is it. (This is it.) 
This is life, the one you get so go and have a ball. 
This is it. (This is it.) 
Straight ahead and rest assured you can’t be sure at all. 

So while you’re here enjoy the view. 
Keep on doing what you do 
So hold on tight we’ll muddle through 
One [game] at a time, (One [game] at a time.) 

So up on your feet. (Up on your feet) 
Somewhere there’s [baseball] playing. 
Don’t you worry none we’ll just take it like it comes. 
One [game] at a time, (One [game] at a time.)”

–TV Theme, “One Day at a Time”

Hold on tight is right.  The IronPigs held on for the series win in yet another one-run game.  The total team effort was highlighted by Greg Smith with another quality start, and bull-pen contributions which held the pesky Chiefs down while the ‘Pigs mounted a late come-back.  Tyler Henson, belly sated by Black Forest Deli Reuben (#ReubenForRuns) pinch-hit a bunt which led to an error and “run(s) scored.”

It was a crazy day for the NoiseNation Staff.  We had a little extra access, the results of which you’ll see dripping in probably through the off season even.  Once again, we thank Matt Sutor and Matt Provence for the privilege.  Stay tuned.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

  1. The Game in Pictures:  Cheryl had photo access throughout the evening, and took full advantage.  I’ll post a bunch.
  2. DiPro at the Bat:  Yesterday was DiPro’s special day.  We have the photos, video, and interviews to prove it.
  3. Remembering Charlie:  No, he’s not dead.  But everyone else is sharing their memories, and I’ll share mine as well.  I’ll always remember where I was when I got the news…
  4. More NoiseNationTV!

..

Until then, let’s take it one game at a time!  The win last night gained us a game in the IL North standings, but our WildCard rank remains the same.

We’ve got two in Moosic against the evil TrolleyRiders, then two more with them here on Monday and Tuesday.  Still no word on what will happen in Philly on Tuesday for Lannan’s start.  It could be Pettibone.  It could be Cloyd.  It could be Halladay.  Stay tuned for that news as well.  

Until then, I’ll see you online (I’m not going to Moosic),

Parting Shot: Here’s a photo of the coveted IronRail Trophy, as seen on Twitter from GM Landes and GM Crain last night.  Stare at it.  Will the IronPigs to win it!

  1. Let’s not forget Freddie Galvis’ heroics last night. He was the guy who doubled in what proved to be the winning run with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th inning. Lately ‘Pigs batters have excelled at striking out or popping up in critical situations like that, and we’ve left more runners on base than Dunkin’ has Donuts. Let’s hope Freddie’s can-do is contagious!

    • Yeah, absolutely Jim. Good stuff from him last night out of the three-hole. He’s been such a pleasure to watch. Just ask DiPro how easy it is to make that throw from Shortstop to first! 🙂
