PrintBlake Beavan and the Rainiers face Evan MacLane and the Redbirds tonight, beginning at 5:05pm. This series is for all the marbles. There are so many marbles at stake that when Jack Wilson walked over to wish Tacoma good luck, he slipped and broke his leg.
The Rainiers, remember, will be the 'home team' for Game 1 and Game 2, even though they'll be playing in front of a Memphis crowd. The Rainiers will be the home team tonight in the same way that the Mariners will be the home team tonight.

What did the Redbirds do to earn the privilige of this entire series being played in their home park?
"I’m taking two beers and popping the slide"
They had the foresight not to schedule a huge renovation for immediately after the regular season?
Cheney stadium is kind of rubble-y right now.
Mind you, Memphis built a AAA taj mahal of a stadium and now can't pay for it.
They’re struggling, despite being PCL champs and in the finals to defend it.
So it was a financial decision by the PCL?
Or maybe they didn’t want the finals to be in an MLB stadium?
"I’m taking two beers and popping the slide"
Well that answers my question.
I suppose the only other option would have been Everett, or the baseball stadium at UW or some other college. Perhaps a neutral site could have been arranged?
"I’m taking two beers and popping the slide"
Everett was rejected by the league (a fair call, I think)
and I just don’t get what a neutral site would do. Why play in, oh, Salt Lake for two games just for shits and giggles? NO ONE would attend, and it would still be a road game for Tacoma.
This is the least terrible move they could make.
Good point.
A neutral site screws everyone. I didn’t think about attendance, I was just thinking about making it fair for both sides (so nobody had the hometown crowd).
"I’m taking two beers and popping the slide"
Does anyone know if this is on radio?
"I’m taking two beers and popping the slide"
I get it in the car, and that's what I was curious about.
It’s not a great signal, but I can hear what’s happening.
"I’m taking two beers and popping the slide"
As Cheney's light towers came from the SF Seals stadium, they're sort of involved?
Or, because we can’t use the SF Seals’ lights, we have to play in Memphis.
I wish this class was large enough for that.
Unfortunately, this judge is new at teaching and seems eager to prove his worth to the class. This meant a student getting snapped at earlier for having his cell phone out…
MiLB left me on Beavan vs. Descalso at the top of the 3rd. Still 2-1 Tacoma?
Hey JY, this Mike Wilson guy is pretty good, maybe we should give him a shot?

You juts want a Wilson to Wilson to Wilson double play...
Maybe we could get Dan to unretire, and have 4 Wilsons on the team…

I thought it said Chuckle Fick.
I chuckled.

Awww, Tuglett doesn't look 12. That's a letdown.

I'm sad I missed this thread
This was a tough game for the R’s both because they had a righthander on the mound, and because Beavan’s been…y’know, shitty since they acquired him. Huge win, and a bizarrely great performance by Andy Baldwin. He still may get the call to start game 5, but that was impressive relief work.
I’m glad MacLane didn’t continue to inexplicably excel against Tacoma. He’s just not that good. I now know what it feels like to beat Doug Fister.
