Can he close the deal?

While Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward won ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" competition Tuesday night, the Wild Things have their own made-for-television reality show personality.

Remember Washington relief pitcher Nick Peterson (2009)? Well, Peterson is a contestant on ABC's "The Bachelorette" that airs Monday nights on ABC. Can't say I've ever watched the show that can best be described as competitive dating, but the Nick Peterson you'll see is the one who went 1-4 with 10 saves and a 5.31 ERA for the Wild Things in 2009. That was the year Mark Mason was the manager.

Peterson had a big first half of the season and was one of Washington's representatives in the Frontier League All-Star game before struggling down the stretch.

Peterson is a personal trainer in Tampa and has his own fitness blog:

The Wild Things lose by nine runs today after winning big last night. I sure hope that is not going to be a pattern for the season, win big then lose big. It seems to be starting out almost the same as the past few seasons. It would be nice to see a lot more consistency from this team than there was in the previous few years.
I see the Wild Things have learned how to spiral cut a 5 cent potato put it a skewer, deep fry it, and sell it for 3 bucks. If you are dumb enough to buy one of those things, I have a brand new bridge to sell you – cheap. I’ll say one thing for those in charge there, they sure know how it ‘stick’ it to ya’.
I you pay that amount for a single small potato then, you don’t have to work hard enough for your paycheck. Or, your on welfare!

The last time I saw something like that I was cleaning my BBQ rack with it.

Be nice.
Remember they only charge $3 for parking. Remember they have a high payroll with the players. The parking revenue should pay the players. They also have the higher maintenance cost with taxpayers turf.
Also they have to pay for the new uniforms. The ones that make the players look like the Yankees in diapers.
Yes, lets all be nice. The lawyers have to make a buck or two and I don't think they can rely on the taxpayers now that the Corbit has eliminated the WAMs money.
But, they may still be able to hit the tourism bureau after all, they contribute to the tourism tax when they pay the hotel bill of the visiting team.

The last time I saw hair? like on that usher, I was cleaning my BBQ with it. Works a lot better than a fried potato for me.
Speaking of tourism, who was the joker walking around in the George Washing suit? Gee, did he look like the village idiot, or what? What some people won’t do for a buck.
The whatever it is called that the WTs are playing on looks more like something you might find on a miniature golf course. It does not even come close to the nice turf I saw at the Normal CornBelters field last year.
A few questions for the WTs, if turf is so much better than grass, then why are you trying so hard to make it LOOK like grass? That simulated mowing pattern still smells like plastic to me. The simulated dirt infield looks like used chewing tobacco. What cancer causing substances are you treating the surface with? If turf is so good than why has MLB have such disdain for it? I know the answer to that. It’s because they play real baseball here. The Frontier League in simulated from the every point of view. Why did I attend the game Tuesday you ask? Just to satisfy my curiosity. The team looks just the same as the last few years.

With all the changes at CEP this year, I wonder if any one thought about how the 6:35PM start time might affect the fireworks show. In case of a very fast game, such as last night, the fireworks would not show well in the twi-light. I hope the plan isn’t to wait until it is dark enough to make them worth watching.
I know the Wild Things would just love to keep the concession stands open and make you wait, and wait…

Got to the game last night and who do you think is passing out the magnets? None other than Brillo head. Freaked me out so bad that I had to go sit in my car to recover. Who was the bright star in the WT office that hired this guy? His head looks like a compass with a broken pointer.
Had to laugh when somebody screamed “Hey Everson, kick the dirt” What is he going to do when the Wild Things continue to slide downhill and he blames the umpire rather than himself. Last year he kicked dirt all over the place, sure can’t do that now. I have an idea, why doesn’t he just super glue the umps shoes to the turf?
