baseball: international league governer’s cup, originally uploaded by minervacat. I totally lied to you about having seen our last baseball game of 2009. We splurged — and by splurged I mean we spent ten bucks apiece, instead of $7 or $8 — on Bulls/Yankees International League Championship Series tickets for last night. Fourth row on…

baseball: charlotte knights @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. This is Jake Peavy. He is very, very attractive. He is, when he is healthy, very, very good at baseball.

baseball: buffalo bison (cleveland aaa) @ durham bulls (tampa bay aaa)
baseball: buffalo bison (cleveland aaa) @ durham bulls (tampa bay aaa), originally uploaded by minervacat. One from the archives; July 2008. There’s 5 minor league teams within 120 miles of Carrboro, if you count Kinston and we almost do, plus a handful more if you’re willing to go 3 hours out, so that’s what I’ll…
