ironpigs start their final homestand

The (San Diego) chicken did a hilarious job coaching first base for one inning a couple of weeks ago in Moosic. At one point the chicken unfurled a fullsized pin-up that he shook at 'Pigs' starter Carlos Carrasco.

Carrasco will be on the mound this evening when the IronPigs start their last homestand of the season. After a miserable start to the season, the 'Pigs rallied to play pretty well. In recent weeks, though, they've again fallen into losing ways. No matter the record of the team, it's been a memorable, and in many ways fun, season. I hope that they make the most of this last homestand. Unfortunately, they start it off facing the powerhouse Pawtucket team.
