over how terrible that name is, but we did manage to make it through. And we couldn't be happier about the winners.Your Richmond Flying Squirrels topped the Southern League's Biloxi Shuckers in the final, earning more than 61% of the vote in a thorough victory for sciuridae the world over. The Eastern League affiliate of the San Francisco Giants scurried (waaaait a minute. scurried, sciuridae? I see what you did there, science.) through the Quad Cities River Bandits, Tennessee Smokies, and Greensboro Grasshoppers on their way to the final matchup.
No word on what Nutzy did to celebrate, though I bet there are some squirrel hookers in the Fan walking around with just a little more pocket change today than they had yesterday.
An underrated name I forgot to mention when Rob first posted about this: Savannah Sand Gnats.
ReplyDeleteThe Sand Gnats offered me a job and I didn't take it because I'm stupid and the 25 year old version of me didn't realize what a cool city Savannah is.
ReplyDeleteI never turn down a sand [gnat] job.
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs to start listening to 103.9 New York. Old school and 90s hiphop. Get the I heart radio app if necessary.
ReplyDeleteThe owner of Orlando's MLS team chose to privately fund the land purchase and stadium construction for his team. Pretty fucking cool if you ask me.

I was looking at the roster for the USA Basketball U16 team because I'm a loser and basketball nerd and two names jumped out. Charles O'Bannon Jr. and Gary Trent Jr. We are old as hell.
ReplyDeleteheaded to awesomecon to record a podcast for work. really hoping to meet michael biehn.
ReplyDeleteThe Tiki/Ronde Barber episode of A Football Life is really good (as most of them are). Tiki is as unlikable as Ronde is likable.

ReplyDeletei'm trying to drink beer and marinate stuff for the grill and my wife and oldest child are totally ruining the vibe. some kind of school math project. i really think teachers assign projects to keep parents from enjoying themselves too much.
ReplyDeleteI'm outside drinking a couple beers at TJ's favorite hipster hot dog place. A very nice Saturday evening.
ReplyDeletemessi, indeed. 50-yard run, beat four defenders, picked his spot while on the run. silly.
ReplyDeleteaccording to google stats, this is the second-most viewed gtb post of all time:http://gheorghe77.blogspot.com/2010/06/hurricane-igor.html
ReplyDeleteyour guess is as good as mine.
We're not that old. I imagine they started getting busy at an early age.
ReplyDeletedid not meet michael biehn at awesome con, but did get two eyefuls of some of the most incredible cosplay culture you can imagine. people are weird and amazing.
ReplyDeleteFor a day that's supposed to be terrible, it's pretty nice here in NJ.
ReplyDeletePool at the pool club is up to 73 degrees. Less miserable to swim w/ the kids.
fu tr. my pool doesn't open until next week and we have a soccer game and it's 90 degrees out and it feels like 140. i hope you get a sunburn.
ReplyDeleteand my older son mistakenly took my younger son's jersey to parsippany, so i had to make a jersey with a duct-taped number for ian. so ghetto.
ReplyDeletePools are still closed up there? Shit, tomorrow is the last day of school here.
ReplyDeleteI'm at the beach. We don't need no stinking pools.
ReplyDeleteWe went to the zoo. I formed a pool of my own sweat in the feed-the-birds exhibit and swam in that.
