1533 A League to Disown

Fun times in sports lately. The professional leagues keep finding more and more ways to be entertaining. Like not long ago when the Tacoma Rainers had a total blowout game against the Las Vegas 51s.
By the way, do you think it’s a good idea to name a minor league sports team after an area where UFO research was supposedly going on? An area synonymous with Government cover-ups and mysterious doings.
Especially the other night, when the 51s mysteriously couldn't seem to get a break. They were down six runs in the first inning and it got worse from there. The final score was 19 to 5. Good news though, they did win the “base run” competition afterwards.
It really did seem like that for a while, a minor league game actually played by minors. I mean really, I heard they were actually putting players from field positions in as pitcher towards the end.
But unfortunately, there's no mercy rule in the big leagues. Which is too bad. It might have made the game more fun if they let the 51s use a T-Ball stand in the last inning. Because up to that point they sure couldn't seem to find the ball.
An unidentified flying object indeed.
On another sports note, the Philly Phanatic was hurt recently. It too was at a minor league game. Talk about weird sports names. It was at an Allentown Iron Pigs game.
Anyhow, apparently he was going all crazy jumping around like he usually does and a foul ball hit him. Right in the throat.
Fortunately, he's a mime, so nothing important was hurt. Although his silent scream looked not unlike a painting by Edvard Munch.
And he also looked a little green around the gills.
America, ya gotta love it.
