Midwest League Action (7/10)

Brick is sick of weather reports. Brick wants to try this today.

Here is last night's scoreboard.

@Dayton 5, Wisconsin 2: Don't you just love the way writers work the way grand or slam into a headline for a game with a grand slam? I don't.

@South Bend 10, Quad Cities 2: Well, I guess South Bend is the exception to that rule. They think they are so la-de-dah special down there.

Beloit 6, @Fort Wayne 1: Brick could tell the Wizards that patience isn't a virtue. Camels always say: Drink while you can and when you can.

Clinton 6, @West Michigan 1: Brick wants you to read this.

The West Michigan Whitecaps out-hit the Clinton LumberKings on Thursday.

But don't be fooled.

Brick is just pointing out the obvious lead-in to he second favorite song by The Who....Brick's favorite Who song...Eminence Front!

Burlington 6, @Great Lakes 0: Brick hates the whole Buzzed/Stung/Honeycombed verbs that people come up with whenever Burlington wins. That was avoided here.

@Lansing 7, Cedar Rapids 1: This article was taken from either a team release, a look at the boxscore on-line, or through some other secon hand report. Here is the Lugnut release. Judging from the direction that the newspaper article was going, I'm going with box score.

Peoria @ Kane County (Suspended): Sounds like they could have used Brick in Kane County last night:

Hard to say which was the more surreal sight Thursday night – the treacherous blasts of lightning and thunder over Elfstrom Stadium, or 5-foot-7-inch Larry Cobb easily driving one out of the park to straight-away center field.

Cobb’s second-inning, three-run clout – which not only cleared the fence about 400 feet away, but also the towering, black hitter’s background beyond the fence – delighted the fans who were later soaked on the way to their cars after the game was postponed, with the Cougars leading Peoria, 6-1 – after three innings.

Wind-aided. Brick is not impressed.
