The Pirates are coming, the Pirates are coming!

I found a larger model of the crystal ball on eBay, and for a great price too. The picture is so much better and this one doesn’t need batteries, plugs right into the wall. As you can see the Pirates are headed our way and will be in town trying to pillage and plunder Lohaus Field on Wednesday through Friday nights this week. The Railroaders will need all hands on deck to battle the 3rd place Bucs, and that includes all our Fans as well. The players are coming home from a 3-3 road trip, with the 7th rained out. That’s two days off and the crew should be well rested for the home stand. The Pirates are 3-3 in their last 6 games also, losing twice to the Greyhounds who are nipping at our heals a half game behind us. Make no mistake, the Pirates are bloodthirsty too. Remember the last time they were here, we took 2 of 3 close games and the loss by 4 runs. They are 4 games behind us and intend to close that gap, I’m sure. And don’t forget they tried to take me prisoner last time, but I’m ready for them this time and well as the Railroaders are.

We have to play our best ball now through the rest of the season. There are 19 games left in the regular season, and the race is close. Now is the time to gain ground and finish first. The playoffs are ahead of us and we want to have a first seed position and host the games at home. All the Fans need to get out and support the team; they will play better if we do.

  3. I just want to be sure you understand that the Railroaders have not had two days off. Even though the game on Monday was rained out the players still road the bus to Owensboro, played four innings, got soaking wet from being out in the rain and had the bus ride back Fulton! That, by no means is a day off!
    As far as last night, I'm sure they were relaxing while watching the AL beat the NL ... AGAIN ... in the All Star Game!

  5. I'm sure only "one" day off from playing will be enough for the guys. Thank you correcting my ignorance, I was unware they played 4 innings in the rain on Monday night.

    And for PirateVoice, we may just have a few surprises for you too! See you tonight on the poopdeck.
