Twenty-one. I love being a Triple A area for a lot of reasons, but mostly for rehab starts. Last night out with the Film Critic, the game featured 100% more Justin Morneau than usual.

Nineteen & twenty. Celebrated independence with a doubleheader yesterday, first the US National Collegiate Team taking on their Japanese counterparts, and then the Bulls (America’s favorite minor league team!) taking on the Braves. It was hot, but lovely.
baseball: scranton wilkes-barre yankees @ durham bulls
Eighteen. The Alpha Site goes to see the Yankees when they come to town every year, because shep.’s a native New Yorker and lifelong Yankees fan; as we like to see the future of my ballclub playing for the Tides (outlook: dismal), we like to see the future of her ballclub, too. They got thumped on Sunday evening, but Kei…
baseball: tides @ bulls, april ’11
Eight. The Tides are 1-8, because everyone useful who was in our farm system is now with the big club, who are also useless. Sigh.
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. Above, bottom: Zach (left) and Buck (right) Britton are brothers. Zach, younger by 18…
baseball: braves @ bulls, september ’10
Forty. I don’t care at all about the Braves’ farm team as a collective entity, but I’m not going to lie, I’m kind of into Brandon Beachy in specific.
baseball: indy indians @ durham bulls, august ’10
Thirty seven and thirty eight. Bulls rained out Thursday equals a 7-inning double header on Friday; we saw the last six innings of the first game, and the first five of the second. Bulls and Indians split. Notable about the Indianapolis Indians: they are not the Triple A farm club of the Cleveland Indians, which…
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…
baseball: norfolk tides @ durham bulls
baseball: norfolk tides @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty three. The depressing thing about watching the Tides, besides them getting absolutely spanked by the Bulls, is knowing that these are the guys who still aren’t good enough to play on the really, really terrible Orioles. Sigh. My ball club, ladies and gentleman. We’re…
baseball: gwinnett braves @ durham bulls, july ’10
baseball: gwinnett braves @ durham bulls, july ’10, originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty two. I think seeing the Gwinnett Braves play would be more interesting if I cared more about their big club and knew more about their farm system. But I don’t. Apparently this kid, Jordan Schafer, is a big deal. He appears to…
