I wasn't going to tonight's game but talked myself
into it anyway. Heck, only one home game left after this one and then that long countdown to the April 3, 2008 home opener. Got there in the top of the second just in time to see Geno throw a come backer with DP written all over it into center field. Of course then next batter Erik Kratz doubles in both runners and the 1-0 lead built on Randy Ruiz's second triple in as many at-bats on two games (thanks hondo) goes out the window. Connecticut loses 7-1 and the 6 game win streak is over. Geno who is usually very effective at Dodd just didn't have it today. John Bowker who going into today's game was leading the EL in hits with 151 goes one for three and Ruiz who's been on a tear of late went 2 for 4 as did Simon Klink. For the FisherCats Rob Crosby had a big night going 3 for 5 with a solo homer and three runs scored.
Robert Grace made is EL debut in the 9th (I left in the 7th is he #18 or #45? anyone?) and threw a 1-2-3 inning.
Misc fan notes: It's clean out the closet night at Dodd for the season ender as all those past promo items that never found homes will be given out. Amazing how quick the season's over.
Good to see Mrs. hondo, hondo and lance tonight; glad I talked myself into going.
*CORRECTION about what I said at the game Brooks McNiven is still with the team as the "move" to SJ was one of those "paper" moves we've come to know and love the last week or so.
Kind of wonder if the team will wear the road or blue BP jerseys for the last game.

Can't tell you Grace's number cuz I left top of ninth.
Don't know what happened in the past 24 hours, but tonight was the first time I felt "the fat lady had sung her song."
If thet are really cleaning out the closets, how about dressing the team in the black and orange with GATORS across the chest. We can call it Retro NIGHT.....aka BEFORE LOUIE!

What the hell is Matos doing in Augusta? He must have talked some smack or something because he is a good pitcher that can close in this league if there was an opening.
Mark M. jacked one yesterday in SJ, and Nate got 4 rbi's in Fresno.

A Def employee strongly implied to me that Matos was sent to Augusta to beef up the bullpen for the upcoming play-offs. Not sure, but I don't think this kind of move is considered "fair play" in the baseball community.
