Scary sighting that even Stephen Colbert would be worried!

Caught in the act of "pumping up the crowd", this unknown individual/offender was recently spotted at a minor league game in the Boise area. Unknown if this is a hourly worker of the resident minor league team or simply an upstanding citizen in the city of trees ( Les Bois). Nonetheless, this is kinda creepy.

What more could you ask for than Jeff Samardzija Bobblehead Night?

Yes folks, I braved the 101 degrees while waiting patiently in line on the blacktop before the gates opened, to ensure my possession of a Bobblehead that will truly be cherished*. Forget the fact that my children disappeared into the Lil Hawks Inflatable slide play area and that I saw about 2 1/3 innings of action ( a bunch of runs, Hawks were up 9-5, consistent with any short season A minor league game). I have captured the missing link, the Jeff Samardzija Bobblehead . I am sure there is a website that wants people to send these highly valuable dolls but in this case, nothing would look finer on my Christmas Tree than a few #39's(oh yeah, I secured 4 Bobbleheads, but one will be broken with the next 24 hours once the kids get their grimy lil hands on it).

* cherished memories are always up for sale....$100 OBO for the damn Bobblehead, $50 just for the pure sweat unleashed during the wait of the freaking gates to open....

Statue Left Curse Update

http://www.idahostatesman.com/sports/story/124817.html

The link above follows up on a previous Statue Left Post that initiated the Statue Left Curse...

Not a bad article, however insider info describes the injured player
supposedly" tripping over a Playstation in the middle of the night", being the cause of this former first round pick being injured. Those damn kids and their PS2's.........

I happened to stop by the Boise Hawks game last night and witnessed this Curse up close. This former First Rounder, was down in the bullpen, just being one of the guys, and offering up completely goofy renditions of a scary pitcher. Contorting his ankles/feet, blowing out his cheeks and adjusting his gumby type ears in odd arrangements. A typical zany and crafty lefty, I suppose.....

That being said, the former First Rounder, with glasses, was a good sport and signed an autograph (possibly forced by management) before the beginning of the game near the front entrance. My son was stoked and what more could you asked for- unless the former First Rounder signed my very own PS2.
