We hardly knew ya, David

The Wild Things' David Anderson, who homered against Florence Tuesday night before rain forced the game to be suspended, had his contract purchased Wednesday by the Baltimore Orioles. Anderson appeared in only two games with the Wild Things after being signed out of Coastal Carolina University, where he hit 21 home runs this year for a 47-16 team.

To fill the roster spot, Washington signed right-handed relief pitcher Matt Winterhalter (6-5, 205), who had a 7-3 record, eight saves and 1.02 ERA for Northern Kentucky University this year. Winterhalter gave up 24 hits and 16 walks in 35 1/3 innings. He struck out 41 batters.

A good team wins 2 out of 3 at home and breaks even on the road for a record of 56 wins and 40 losses which is usually good enough for a first place finish.
The Wild Things are on course to break even at home and lose 2 out of 3 on the road for a last place record of 40 wins and 56 losses.

What kind of a team do you think the Wild Things have Gabby Joe?

The Midwest Sliders picked up Robbie Knapp today. I thought I had read a few days ago that he had been traded out of the Frontier League?
It should be an interesting day for the Wild Things tomorrow as they return from the road. Surely there are more changes coming. I haven't seen tonight's Game 2 box score yet, how many walks this time?

Update....whoa! 12 walks in only 7 innings. Add the name of Zach Pitts to those who have got to go! Maybe we can sign Ryan Vogelsong? And yes, that is sarcasm.

Ryan Vogelsong would dominate in the Frontier League.

Ryan Vogelsong didn't even dominate in the PSAC.

None other than Bob Gregg! Who else would have all those trumped up figures?

You know what Laura T. enough is enough about Bob Gregg. I am guessing you don't know him. So if you don't know him you need to shut your mouth. Even if you do know him you know nothing about the turf or voting. He wasn't the only one voting so why are you blaming everything on him.

Isn't Laura T. the one that wanted to know who Mylan was? Enough said!

I seriously douby that Bob Gregg would stoop that low. I don't know Bob personally but I have exchanged e-mails with him.
He has far too much respect to do anything such as that.

“This Ron Wilson character seems to be the only person man enough to put his name."

Rich, I’m not sure the context the “character’ reference is supposed to be. You are correct.in that Ron believes in taking responsibility for what he says. Nothing at all wrong with that.

The problem with it is that Ron has been threatened with violence (supposed to happen tonight) by some moron that works for the Wild Things. Ron has been called everything from senile to a mental case by the Wild Things hacks. The Wild Things used all the attorneys and influence they could muster to get turf at taxpayer expense. Ron saw this coming years ago and started to work to see that it did not happen.

Of course, having no "for sale” politicians to aid him, he tried something else. He started, and succeeded with a petition to the Wild Things from the fans requesting that the Wild Things NOT replacce the grass surface. They immediately placed it in the ‘round file’.

Just as in Illinois, if you buck the ‘powers’ you automatically become a target. This is a place where small minds, and even smaller people rule. Don’t come here for ANY reason. There are so many rednecks you can’t believe it. If you don’t go along with their crooked politicians and their hill-billy ways, then what has happened to Ron Wilson will happen to you also.. That is why nobody uses his or her name here. Ron is a victim of his own courage. Ron believes that it is a citizen’s duty to question the government, not blindly follow. He is paying the price for questioning the ‘powers’. Damned if I would do it. God only knows what might happen to you here in red-neck land
Lloyd

BTW: You wouldn’t last long here either using you full name. I suggest you don’t continue to do it. Just use some phony name.

Why is Mark Mason getting a free ride. Is he untouchable? If Greg Jelks was still here all you racist would be sreaming for this black head.
Mason doesn't look like that much of an improvement over Mr. Jelks to me.

If you leave a comment here, you have to side with Ron Wilson. This blog is his turf. Pun intended.

From the FL transaction list:

WASHINGTON WILD THINGS: Signed RHP Andy Schindling; released RHP Zach Pitts


Nice comeback for the boys, and, NO, I'm not Joe from Gabby.
Had an enjoyable, cordial conversation with Ron, several actually, last night.

Wow! What an accomplishment for good ol Stew. He is one, he's married to one. Can't be even one once humanity in that place.

For you people from the Chicago area that have sent post to this blog, you need to understand something.
We are men of iron here. You know the kind! Macho to the very end. If we don’t like what you have to say we know how to handle it. We get 4 or 5 drunk guys to jam it down your throat the hard way.
No Sir, you don’t disagree with us Pennsylvania rednecks cause if you do, you are going to get hurt.
We still live in the 1850s here and we ain’t about to change. So, stay in Chicago – don’t come here.
Butt out!! And our Wild Things are a lot better than those Windy City bunch! Al Capone was a Frontier League minor player compared to our steelworkers and dumb coal miners! Darwin lives in the WT clubhouse! Beside, we still have thug unions here too!

Wild Things fans - the trailer trash of the Frontier League.

You stay classy, Washington.

Yeah, I'm sure Frontier League fans in other cities are just soooooo sophisticated. And why the shot at those who live in house trailers? There are plenty of good and decent people who live in mobile homes.

Don't worry Frannie, everything in its own time!
When, and where, I want to let it be known, I will!

If you own a house in Mobile, Alabama does that mean you live in a mobile home?
