Duffy callup a huge acceleration of the Process

Categories:

Omaha Chasers, Trust The Process

by

I called my dad yesterday to let him know I had arrived safely at the home of my host family in California. Kyle Davies had come out of the game, but Vin Mazzaro hadn’t yet made history with the worst pitching performance ever. Dad asked me who I thought would come up to replace Davies, …

A tortured metaphor about the Hosmer callup

Categories:

Omaha Chasers, Trust The Process

by

For one of the first times all year, it is BEAUTIFUL outside here in Lincoln. I had to walk across campus to turn in some graduation-related paperwork, and on the way, I saw a 5-year-old girl who sort of summed up the Hosmer callup. The girl must have been part of a kindergarten class field …

Super awesome Storm Chasers photos!

Omaha Chasers, Quickies

by

Due to an 11th-hour scheduling change, I got to go to Sunday’s Chasers game as a fan, for the first time ever. It was also probably my last game before I leave for California, but that’s neither here nor there. I took a bunch of pictures, and it would be awesome if you’d go look …

This is the Storm Chasers team we expected

Categories:

Omaha Chasers

by

Last night, the Storm Chasers won their ninth straight game, this one against the Iowa Cubs, and at home. When even the team media releases sound giddy and bubbling, you know your team is doing well. To wit: The Omaha Storm Chasers have put together some fine performances during their current nine-game winning streak, but …

The BASEketball opening sequence sounds like a George F. Will column

Categories:

Quickies

by

Tonight, a friend asked if I would provide a handwriting sample for her, for some kind of project. She needed a few paragraphs, written in cursive, and it didn’t matter what I wrote. So I chose to write down the opening voice-over part from BASEketball. And I found that, if you strip away the video …

How to be an Omaha Storm Chasers fan

Categories:

Omaha Chasers

by

My uniform. Someday, it'll be warm enough to shed the jacket and pants.

[Note: As always, views expressed here are mine, and do not necessarily reflect those of the Omaha Storm Chasers.] Go to the stadium! Werner Park is cool, and I’m not just saying that because it’s my workplace. Seating: I have said this elsewhere, but it’s worth saying again in this young season: There is not …

Five Foto Friday: Storm Chasers! Just kidding, it’s not actually Opening Day!

Categories:

Five Foto Friday

by

Sometimes when it’s Friday (let’s be real, it’s not every week), I’ll share five photos that I’ve taken. This is today’s batch, and the theme is Omaha Storm Chasers players. Obviously I don’t have current pictures of them, so you’ll have to come to Werner Park to see them in their new uniforms and new …

Celebrating a better Royals youth movement

Categories:

Omaha Chasers, Trust The Process

by

I grew up with the crappy Royals, which means I’m a fan with no “good old days” to reflect warmly on, and my Royals teams have been the butt of baseball jokes for as long as I’ve been alive. In that time, there have been a number of “youth movements.” They were all disappointing, to …

Random survey: How do you pronounce “Coupon?”

Categories:

Not sports, Quickies

by

The show “Extreme Couponing” is MESMERIZING. I had it on in the background while doing some cleaning, and was inspired to ask on Twitter: Do you pronounce the word “coupon” like “coo-pon” or “cyoo-pon”? So far, we’ve got 9 for coo-pon, 4 for cyoo-pon (which would have been more clear as Q-pon), and one for …
