A few days off...

"I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did."

- Yogi Berra

The Ems are gone on a road trip after a pretty successful homestand including a 3 game series against the Vancouver (BC) team in which the Ems won 2 and lost 1 and scored 34 runs in those 3 games. The second game of the series the Ems scored 18 runs and every starter scored at least 1 run.

Here are a few pics from that series, including one I really like of Mitch Canham signing autographs at the Ems' dugout after the game. All the other players have gone and Mitch stands alone with a crowd of fans. Thats class. Something I'm thinking Ems' Manager Greg Riddoch is gonna be pretty good at instilling in a lot of his players.

Also posted today, Eric Sogard and Keith Conlon being interviewed; what it would look like if Eugeneoids stayed home and didn't go to Civic Stadium; what the crowd looks like when the fans do show up; good guy Josh Bidwell standing w/ his teammate in the bag toss (they lost against Luke Ridenour and his teammate and this poor kid was really sad. Good job cheering her up Josh!); almost always (not when he's pitching) Jackson "K"zada smiling; and... Justin Baum and Ems fans gawking skyward as the Airship Radio Theatre's hot air (boy howdy!) Airship passes over Civic Stadium.

And as a treat for you U of O Duck fans, I'll soon be posting a rare picture indeed... the U of O's Jonathon Stewart on a tricycle.

Until next time... enjoy.
