baseball: tides @ bulls, september ’10
Forty one. Final game of the regular season. The Bulls go on to the International League playoffs and the Tides go home for the year, but at least they made it interesting; today’s game went 12 innings. The Bulls won, 6-5.

The DeMarini…

baseball: columbus clippers @ durham bulls, july ’10
baseball: columbus clippers @ durham bulls, july ’10, originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty five. I am baffled by the Columbus Clippers. They are very, very good — they’re dominating their division in the International League by a fair margin — and yet their parent club, the Cleveland Indians, are very, very not good. (The Bulls…
