Yesterday Kram visited the possibility that the IronPig’s “Smell the Change” promotion might not be a great thing for us fans.
It could be good. It could be bad. It could be.. meh.
Let’s delve into… The Porkside.
As we enter the Porkside, I must warn you that what we find may not be fully understood or revealed. The Porkside is a mystery to most. Hopefully we can find something to appease our curiosity and that also allows us to… return.
Ok, we’re here. The Porkside. Watch your head and don’t touch anything or wander off! We never know what will pop up here. One thing for sure, it smells really bad down here. I wonder what could be causing it. Up in the daylight we smelled bacon that even the most stringent vegan would salivate over but, here… there’s no way to describe the stench. What could be causing that smell? My thoughts are drifting again, not something you want to happen in the Porkside but it’s usually the way we discover anything in this mess. Did you see that? The flash over there… it looked like an IronPig logo but it wasn’t an IronPig logo I’ve ever seen. The current logo looks a lot like the old Ferrous and FeFe outfits. This one, well it looked like the new versions. It was quick, but I got a good look at it. Is the Porkside hiding plans for a re-design of the IronPig’s well known and established moniker? Geez, anything is possible in the Porkside. Yikes, this Porkside is really living up to all the hype I heard. Sometimes you hear stuff that gets you real excited, all pumped up and then… you get 10 minutes of extended bubble machine time for every third Saturday of the month game. Could this smell just be hiding something of a stinker? The IronPigs haven’t let us down in the past. Hang on a second… nature calls, I hope to beat my high score from last year. Wait.. What?!No Urinal games?! Forget it. I can hold it. Let’s keep moving, we don’t want to get stuck. Ok, a fork in the road. This spot reminds me of the intersection of Route 222 and Schantz road. Strategically placed between Reading and Allentown at the halfway point. One road goes to Reading. One road goes to Allentown. We sure don’t want to choose the path to Reading. We know what the OstrichSide did to the Reading Phillies and we certainly don’t want that to happen to our beloved IronPigs. A new name. A new brand. Angry ostriches sewn onto the caps. Please, please don’t let that happen to our IronPigs. I know they’ve had throwback days.. the Gobblers, etc. There is still one contest entry remaining from the competition to name the new Lehigh Valley baseball team. That was the Keystones… WAIT! I know who submitted that name! DiPro! DiPro! Are you in here DiPro!? DiPro must be still be on that install from this afternoon. He would have answered. Answers. Something we have to wait until Monday to get. That’s four whole days away. What will the IronPigs announce with this new Smell the Change campaign? Will we like it? I guess we’ll have to wait. We love our IronPigs.. for better or worse, in sickness and in health, til the franchise moves and does us part. Yeah, we better get out of here before it gets too crazy. What was THAT?!? Run! Run like Rich Thompson! Run! |
Ok we’re out.. and thanks to the IronPigs for giving us something fun to work with in these snowy February days.
Is it April yet? OinK!

What worries me is that I hope “smell the change” doesn’t imply the team will “stink.”
New sewage plant to be installed in former Agere parking lot…. 🙂
