Trends
Thursday night's 11-6 win over Chillicothe was a trendbreaker in several ways for the Wild Things:
* It was only their second victory in the last nine games against left-handed starting pitchers. They are only 10-13 against left-handed starters but 32-17 against right-handed starters.
* Pat O'Brien's key three-run homer in the first inning was his first home run since July 21.
* Chris Sidick even stole a base. Though Sidick has been regularly drawing walks, last night's stolen base was his first since July 28 and only the third stolen-base attempt since July 18.
From a Chillicothe standpoint, the Paints' four errors (two by pitchers) were killers. Here the story from the Chillicothe Gazette:

The trade deadline is just days away. Heard any good trade rumors involving Washington or any other teams in the league?
Washington will try to swing a deal but I don't know if it will find a willing partner. There has been talk about a possible trade between Evansville and Chillicothe involving a pitcher going to the Paints. You would think Traverse City might be interested in making a deal to pick up somebody who could help next year. It might be quiet at the trade deadline. The Florence-Slippery Rock deal might have been the last big deal.
Honestly, I think the Things could use some pitching. On another subject, I have heard rumors at the park that Mark Mason would like to return to the Things, that makes sense, as he lives here. (I am sure one day Mason will be the manager of the Things). Any thoughts on this?
I don't know why Mark would want to go from being the manager of Chillicothe to being a coach for Washington. From everything I've been told, John Massarelli will be back year.
