Plenty of good things happened today in the land of The Bush Leagues.
First of all...the M's win! Bringing their record to 25-28.
Erik Bedard pitched a hell of a game against the Orioles battling through 6 1/3 innings giving up a run and recording 7 strikeouts. He reminded me a lot of the way Rich Hill looked last night (or should I say, Rich Hill reminded me a lot of Erik Bedard). But the most significant accomplishment; he pitched well and stayed healthy.
The offense showed up! We finally start to see some production from the top of our lineup. Granted Ichiro has been producing all month but Don Wakamatsu shook things up a bit by throwing Russel Branyan in the 2-hole. Followed by Adrian Beltre, Ken Griffey Jr. and Jose Lopez. And the lineup produced. Branyan hits a home run, Griffey goes 3-for-5 with 2 doubles and a homer, Beltre goes 3-for-5 and Jose Lopez goes 3-for-5 with 3 doubles. Granted much of this offense came when the M's were already up by 3+ runs, it's still encouraging to see.
But the real cause for celebration, our own Nick Garbareno proposed to his girlfriend on Tuesday and amazingly she said yes! Everyone join me in giving Nick and truly his better half a Bush Leagues congratulations!
I'm already thinking of ideas of how I'm going to bring The Bush Leagues into this wedding. Let's open up the comment board for ideas. A baseball wedding with the officiant dressed as an umpire? Athletic supporters with cup for groomsmen gifts? Let's hear it everyone!

Congrats Garbs!! Btw...How many beers/drinks did you have to feed her before she stopped saying no?
ReplyDeleteFor the wedding, everyone should at least be wearing cleats and have to slide into their spots, like they're sliding into home plate and get a real nice matching dirt stains on their tuxes. Garbs better also have a mitt after the ceremony because it's not going to be rice or bubbles, but baseballs coming at the domes. Better wear your batting helmets too!
