Reluctant reporter with your Maryland series game one wrap up. Small in number. Large in decibels. It was cold before game time and it didnt get any warmer. You northerly expatriates can snicker amongst yourselves, but 45 is insufferable to most of us as exhibited by the attendance. The official numbers havent been released as of the time Im writing this but my estimate is about 1500 at best. Those who missed out missed out. The turtles were quick out of the gate, scoring one in the first and playing solid defense while keeping a quick pace on the mound. Turtles drew first blood in the top of the first and it was another battle of attrition until their starter, who did more than his share, was finally sat down. The good guys in garnet blew up for 7 in the 7th and 6 in the 8th to slam the door in a walk away win 15-3. I think the best of the best is being saved for Sunday. Cant wait to hear Terrys version of Happy Trails. Cant wait to hear GTFO, if that happens. Cant wait to never see the turtles again. Today had some good ones, though. A lot of bullpenclap clap bullpen clap clap. With the small crowd it was easy to get in any jabs you wanted to. Oyster John stepped his game up in a hoarse making fashion. Chilidog did his Noles cheers in the 3rd. Hes good like that. I kept yelling Crabcakes and now I guess I owe Harry an hors doeuvre. For such a poorly attended game it was as much fun as any so far this year. Tomorrow should be interesting as we have already seen the best of their starting pitching and their relief got run like the hare. Well be under the oaks tomorrow for what is predicted to be a sunny gorgeous day. Grillmaster Matt will be there and Ill be cooking up eggs around 10:30. Bring the family. Bring your voice. Bring meat. Go Noles
