Ejections

I am a big fan of priceless ejections and came across this gem the other day from Asheville (Rockies Single-A) Manager Joe Mikulik...Make sure you click on the link to the first ejection before you watch the second video...Priceless...

The Meltdown: Part Two

Entertaining

During a day game earlier this season WCIU, a TV station in Chicago that sometimes carries the Sox and Cubs, came out to shoot some video and do a piece on the Boomers for its morning show...Well, I stumbled across this rather entertaining piece on the club...

Fun to Be Had

Joliet

As to be expected a lot of media used the All-Star Break to write stories about the first half of their respective teams...I found this interesting out of Joliet...The title says it all...

New Look Normal

When the Normal CornBelters visit Boomers Stadium tonight it won't be the same team who dropped two of three to the Boomers two weeks ago...For that matter, it won't be the same team at the All-Star Break...Manager Chad Parker admitted he was hoping this team would be 30-16 not 16-30...So, he traded two All-Stars and completely retooled the team for the second half...The new look Belters will debut tonight against the Boomers in the second half opener for each club...

All-Star Game

Didn't make the All-Star Game?? No worries...President/GM Andy Viano had the team camera with him and took plenty of pictures...I posted a bunch from my twitter account as well...I am planning to post a full recap on here later today...
