Go Bulls!
The Bulls evened up the Governor's Cup series with the Richmond Braves tonight, 5-1. A good game with lots of extra-curricular activities, which i'm sure you'll be able to read about tomorrow in the papers. I may even post some pictures in the morning myself.
Memo to Jim Goodmon: You don't have to have the frickin' music blasting between every pitch. Give us a chance to chat with the people sitting next to us, or, heaven forbid, heckle the umpires once in a while. It's a baseball game, not a freak show. Oh, and the crowd still wants to do that "whoop - whoooo" thing when the opposing team brings in a relief pitcher in the middle of the inning. Imagine that. Twelve years after the old ballpark closed, and the fans still have their own memories. We really don't need electronic scoreboards and stupid animations to get us to make noise. We can do that ourselves.

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

Hey -- are you telling me that "whooop - whoooo" originated at the old DAP?! I'm confused and/or thrilled.

The "whooop -whooo" thing is not a Durham creation. I remember doing that during little league in Colorado a long time ago.

Thanks. i'm not going to ask when you were in Little League. When i played LL back in the 60s, i never heard anything like that.
And i'd never heard it in any of the towns where i'd watcched a baseball game before i got here.
Maybe someone who passed through Durham took it to Colorado with them?

Could be, I guess I can't really say.
If it matters, I was in LL in the 80's.
