Baseball Roundup
I actually don’t post too often about one of my favorite things in life - baseball. So, I figured, I’d give everyone a heads up with my favorite teams.
In case you haven’t noticed, the Cincinnati Reds are smokin’ right now. They’ve won six of seven, and newcomer Bronson Arroyo tossed a one-hitter today against the Washington Nationals. At 15-7, the Reds are in a tie for first place in the NL Central, and have one the best records in the league. So far, so good!
The Lexington Legends started off strong (maybe due to motivation from Roger Clemens’s openind day appearance?), but have faded lately. They recently lost three in a row, but have come back to win the last four. They’re currently 12-6 and 0-1 with me in attendance.
Also in Lexington, the UK baseball team is enjoying one of its best seasons ever. They swept a weekend series from No. 7 South Carolina to improve to 31-10 on the season, and a No. 13 national ranking.
Same old, same old over in Georgetown. The Tigers are in the midst of another near-.500 season at 26-24 with a 9-11 conference record. Since I have a personal connection to the Tiger baseball club, I gotta say - I just don’t get it. The MSC is consistently strong every year in baseball, but GC can never seem to get over the hump and have a strong season. Oh well. I’ll take .500 ball over, say, 5-30 any day.
I haven’t kept up with local high school baseball much this year, since I don’t get the State Journal (still waiting for the online PDF version to be available). Last I saw, Western Hills beat Franklin County, which is always a bummer.
There ya go. Now yer all caught up….
