Tacoma Rainers vs. Iowa Cubs

by Shooter McGavin on Aug 7, 2010 4:30 PM PDT

Getting the pleasure (I think) of heading to my 2nd game of the Rainers/I-Cubs series today. Being in Iowa, this is my bi-yearly treat. I got to watch Ian Snell pitch sporadically on Wed. Smoak hit a homer and Ackley looked lukewarm on offense. Supposedly we'll be getting RRS tonight in a battle of pitching hyphens as he faces Austin Bibens-Dirkx. What a name!! I wish they'd win a game this series, it'd make me feel a little better about the future...

After venturing into Minor League Ball and coming out I want Ackley to succeed so badly right now.

RRS did not do so hot, however.

Clean sweep for Iowa.

And the first 3 innings started off so promising. And my fantasy team looks a lot like the M’s this year, so there’s that.
