Neck & Neck

What an upcoming week of baseball ahead! We begin tonight with a 3 game series in 3 nights against those Greyhounds. Tonight and Wednesday in Union City, Tuesday at Fulton. Followed by this weekend’s doubleheaders on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 6 games in 3 days! I’ve been contacted to standby to pitch if needed and I’m ready to go.

Getting on with the matter at hand, the Greyhounds. This is an important series for the Railroaders. The teams have fought back and forth for first over the last month, and now it is time to put those puppies in their place. 2 of the 3 games will be in the dog pound. Yes, land of the “Throw it in the dirt” mob. I have to laugh every time I hear those mutts bark, knowing how proud they are of their oversized oral abilities. But they need to compensate for their players. Did you know that Greyhounds don’t bark? It’s true! So the non-playing mongrels of the pack have to produce all the noise. Reminds me of a few penned up dogs that live down the street from me.

I hope every Railroader Fan that’s able attends as many of the games as they can. There is going to be some exciting baseball this week. We have 14 games left now in the regular season and 9 of them will be played in the next 7 days. These games will tell the tale! It’s going to be a tough haul for the Railroaders, but their engine is ready and up to the task. I’m looking forward to watching them take their rightful place.
