Greensboro vs. Hagerstown – PPD
Rain washed out Game Two of the four-game series between the Suns and the ‘Hoppers. They’ll try to make it up today with a twi-night doubleheader.
Any word for guys here with Drew Ward crushes
On his DL reason ?
Well that leaves Wooten in Viera
Tweaked a hammy per an earlier thread. I believe I fall short of man crush on Ward, though. I believe my two man crushes in the history of this site are My Man Derek Norris and Michael A. Taylor.
I was at the game. Ward hit a ball to th CF wall, but hit the wet grass to the right of the baseline getting ready to round first base. He tried to walk it off, but they removed him for a pinch runner.
Yippee. Sens heading to 20-20 slate
Way to go Williams
Nothing worse than wet grass on a leg
Muscle
