Another IBL first

Just got home from watching Iron Man 2 and was checking the Royals Twitter page.

Saturday's game against Ottawa has already been cancelled a full 12 hours in advance. Weather man is calling for snow Saturday.

At least it saved the Fat Cats a 6 hour bus ride and a bit of cash on hotels.


Edit: 1:30 pm - Been raining all day off and on looks like all the games today got washed too. Brr its too cold for baseball today.

Royals bats were silent

The Red Sox - Royals game was over in record time this evening. I think i was home by 10:30 which is unheard of, at least in Guelph. Royals games traditionally take ages on Tuesday nights

Anyways the Royals looked awful. I think they were held to like 4-5 hits at the most and well Sean Reilly didn't exactly knock the cover off the ball for one of those hits.

Ryan Hart left a mistake up over the plate in the 1st inning to Lee Delfino and he sent it sailing over the left field fence to put Brantford up 2-0

Guelph didn't score until the 4th on a bases loaded sac fly by Kevin Hinton. The pitching was decent on both sides but you can tell its early in the season. The batter's timing were off.

I know Guelph only had one outdoor practice before this game because of some stupid city rules about keeping the sportfields closed to teams until May 1st. Maybe next year they should look at an exhibiton game or two else where or look at renting Bectel Park in Waterloo and have their pitchers throw live BP.

Stefan Strecker threw only five pitches in the 9th inning BTW. The Royals weren't exactly a patient bunch at the plate tonight. I won't even comment on the plate umpire's strikezone or shall i say lack of it.

Baycats strike late for victory

Well they managed to get one game in this weekend

The Barrie Baycats cameback after being down a lot to win 11-10 over Toronto this afternoon at the Pits (Do i start calling it Dominico Field yet?)

I don't have all the details but at least baseball is back, which is good cause I can't take much more hockey since the leafs have been golfing for a month already.
