The local media in Salt Lake seems to have a problem with the Bees -- maybe that they're off to one of the best starts ever in Minor League Baseball and it's the NBA playoffs first round with the Jazz playing fairly well against the Houston Rockets.
Harrumph.
They manage to get U, Utah State and that school down south all in during college football and basketball seasons, so why not a minute for the Bees? I was disgusted by KUTV last Saturday (4/26) when the Bees had switched their schedule to a day game and they couldn't be bothered to give a score on the 5 pm news, Jazz pre-game, which is all fine, but then to spend the rest of the time on golf and other non-local sports... How long does it take to give a score? Granted, it may have been given on the ticker, but I didn't have my glasses on and their white on blue is not the easiest thing to read with the glasses.
21-1. It's phenomenal. The team is hitting .317 and has a 3.21 ERA. That's the team, not just the best hitters and pitchers. I fear that Matt Brown, who is hitting .429 with 6 HRs can probably hear the Angels calling. I hope not, but won't be surprised when he gets the call. And I've been told by a serious Angels fan that Nick Adenhart (.87 ERA, 4 Ws 0 Ls in 5 games) is about the hottest pitching prospect in baseball. I believe.
Larry Miller's sports advertising people just may have it right with their "One Team, One Dream" logo, they just seem to have put in on the wrong sport.
5,197 was the attendance yesterday (Sunday), and the congregation looked a lot happier going in than it did at any of the churches I passed that morning.
Hallelujah.
Well...
