Rick Ankiel Did What?

Holy Cow! Ok, so Rick Ankiel of the St. Louis Cardinals completely washed out as a pitcher. Lost all sense of control on a pitch and was sent back to the minors. No many, many lifetimes later at age 27 he returns as right fielder for the Cardinals and tonight hit 2 HR’s and drove in a career high 7 runs.

What is this game coming to? If I was not a Cubs fan I would like him and give him all kinds of props. But I can’t! Dag gonnit he is hitting .358 with 9 HR’s and 29 RBI’s in only 23 games. Man can you trade him to Chicago, please!

Its really great to see him doing well.

Herbert Hoover vs. Wayne Live Game Blog

Its a hot, humid night here at Laidley Field as the Huskies take on defending AA state champs the Wayne Pioneers. A nice size crowd has turned out to root for their hometown team.

Hoover took the opening kickoff and was putting a nice drive together when an off target pass was intercepted around the Wayne 45 yard line. Wayne quickly capitalized on this with a Jason Thompson touchdown at the 7:11 mark in the 1st quarter. After the missed extra point the score stands 6-0, Pioneers.

The game was back and forth for the rest of the quarter until the Huskies recovered a fumbled punt on the last play taking over at the Wayne 20 to start the second quarter!

A penalty and a play later Wayne’s #30 goes 85 yards to paydirt and with the 2 point conversion the Pioneers are up 14-0 with less than 10 minutes to play in the half!

Wayne held on to the ball for most of the rest of the half before turning it over on downs around the Hoover 10 with a little over 2 minutes left. The Huskies failed to get anything going and punted the ball back to the Pioneers, who muffed the kick. Hoover recovers on Wayne’s 40!
