snakebit

I walked into one of the ladies' rooms at Coca-Cola Park last night and came face to face with this wall-sized photomural. The IronPigs players shown, who were wearing pink for the Mothers' Day game last year, are no longer with the team. FeFe, one of two team mascots, remains.

All I can say about last night's game is the Yankees still have the IronPigs' number. I left the game on a high note, just after the 'Pigs had taken a 5-3 lead on a three-run homer by Rich Thompson. Sure enough, the bullpen came in and immediately blew it. Final score: 12-5 in favor of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

It was also incredibly cold at the game last night. I was dressed for it but finally fled my seat to stand on the sheltered concourse.
