Hurricane Bill
Posted by Brett Kincaid on August 18, 2009
If you’re planning a trip to the East Coast in the next week, check the weather. It looks like Bill will avoid the Gulf Coast, but the mid-Atlantic and New England should get wet. If Bill grows to a Category Three storm (as predicted) things could get a little hairy.

Update from Aberdeen

The LR Junior Deputy All-Stars, competing in the Cal Ripken World Series, knocked off Bakersfield, California, in dramatic fashion. In a must-win game, 3B Jack Thomas clubbed a walk-off solo home run to secure the victory. If the boys from Little Rock have any hope of advancing, they’ll need another win tomorrow (and a little luck) against New England.
Congrats to Jack and the LR All-Stars!

Hasn’t anyone seen “Heat”? Even with a perfectly planned heist, you ALWAYS get caught. That did not stop at least one knucklehead early this morning. I suspect the suspect(s) will be in jail pretty soon.

Diamond Hogs Get Good News
Posted by Brett Kincaid on August 18, 2009
Mike Bolsinger is back on campus and will pitch for the Razorbacks in 2010. Bolsinger was selected by the Oakland A’s in the June draft but could not come to terms with the organization. Look for Bolsinger to find a spot in the weekend rotation next spring as the Hogs build for a return trip to Omaha.
