MLIB is not yet there but the Cats are....


Tonight is the Brickyard Showdown. That is the single playoff game between the winners of the PCL (Rivercats) and the International League (Scranton-Wilkes-Barre Yankees). I am coming back across the country from meetings in DC and wanted to listen to the game which is on ESPN 2 and also on the net at MLIB. The sound for the video feed is intermittent.

The Cats won it with a great first inning and a wonderful double play in the 7th. In the audio that did come through I found that the Yankees have had more than 200 roster moves during the season - that makes the number of moves done by the Cats last season seem minor.

Last night I went to a Nationals game and was down in the good seats - three rows back (the photo is from the Nats game - not the Showdown). That was also a good game.

This is the second year that the Cats have won the showdown (last year by 7-1). MLIB has a way to go, but not the Cats - Congratulations on winning the whole enchilada two times in a row.
