Royals fans and players were left scratching their heads over the weekend with the absence of former MVP Jamie Pogue. Pogue was noticeably absent Wednesday and Sunday in Christie Pitts but did make an appearance Monday afternoon on the bench.
Outgoing Commish Joe O'Neill took in about 3-4 innings of Saturday's Royals - Leafs match up long enough to stuff his face with a hot dog and refusing to answer any of the fans sitting around him questions on the league. REALLY CLASSY ACT there Joe. People pay good money to watch the IBL Joe, next time take 5 minutes to answer a question about what the league plans to do about marketing the league better or these expansion rumors and the Ottawa situation rather than being a complete JACK ASS
Its time this league gets out of its old boys club mentality, opens up a forum, or dialog with the players, and fans to address a number of issues that plague the league.
Umpires were apparently in short supply over the weekend due to the 3 OBA elimination tournaments in Windsor and London. Explains why the Guelph - Toronto series had practically the same crew at all three games over the weekend. Funny to see the umps take a pay cut at least for one weekend. Guess they can't gouge the OBA for milelage like they are famous for gouging the IBL centres.

Jamie's been down with a nagging separated shoulder since before the season started I'm guessing he was hurting again hence the absence.
ReplyDeleteFunny I didn't see the commissioner at the park, he normally stops by the press box. But a valid point about the dialog or forum. Something the league should look at.
Take a chill pill, the commissioner is a busy guy. Im sure he just wants to enjoy baseball instead of people like you nagging him about little shit.
ReplyDeleteBeing the commissioner of the league, isn't it kind of his job to talk with and hear the concerns, likes and dislikes of the paying fans?
ReplyDeleteI was glad to see the IBL create a facebook page, it's a great way to keep the fans updated and answer questions etc. But they don't really seem to be making much use of it yet.
