They played the last game in the stadium Wednesday nite. Defenders
lost in game two of the championship series, Said there were 4000 at
the game. Not likely, unless they guessed at all the skyboxes being
filled. More like 2000 were there. It was a good game, they came from
behind to tie it late, then had to rally again in the bottom of the
9th, and fell one run short. One little bloop single would have
brought the runner home from third. Sad. Sad. Will miss it alot, it
was a great thing to just go do on a summer evening. unfortunately not
many "baseball" fans wanted to drive up to the I-park. Like it was
SUCH a hardship for them. geesus. Now there will REALLY not be
anything to do in the area, outside of the stinkin casinos. Sad. I did
my part, going to at least 6 games a year. Even over the past 4 years
when they really sucked. This year they were good. Still the fickle
area RedSux fans sat on their asses at home and complained that the
prices were too much for the food (bullshit) and it was too tough to
get there (bullshit) and that the team was farm for San Francisco, so
no interest in the players (bullshit) These days players get shopped
around all the time, and one of them could wind up on the Sux team.
Last year's Cy Young winner in NL went through Norwich. The SF speedy
guy Velez came thru. Fair weather baseball fans, only interested in
their team, not in the sport itself. wannabees.
Ok enough ranting. I guess I'll have to figure out how to get to New
Britain's ballpark next year. Go RockCats! uggh
