My Thursday night encounter with Mr. Benintendi never materialized due to heavy rains that engulfed the state of North Carolina which resulted in the cancellation of all local games. Those rains threatened the games today but fortunately the skies began to clear so it was off to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park in the beautiful Entertainment District of Durham. I only needed one guy on the Tide but it was not meant to be as I was unable to catch Andy Oliver.
Here are the Bulls that I nabbed tonight:
Kyle McPherson 3/3 (3 for jcq08)
Daniel Robertson 4/8 (2 for mightyswede)
Mark Sappington 1/1 (1 for daveteach)
Cameron Seitzer 1/1
Richie Shaffer 6/6 (1 for graveline, 1 for mightswede, 2 for jcq08)
Blake Snell 9/9 (2 for jcq08)
Every year there are two or three players that just give me fits for different reasons. The three that are giving me issues this year include two of my former nemeses.
Nick Franklin--He will just not sign pregame. At postgame, he either leaves two hours after everyone else leaves or he goes out the front entrance. Last week he was obviously quite intoxicated when he departed. He wanted to sign all of the jersey cards because he "really liked them".
Mikie Mahtook--I was getting ready to hit him up again tonight and he really gave me the "death stare" so I decided to wait another week or so.
Adam Wilk--Wrong time, wrong place every game. I have only seen him in the dugout once before a game and of course I was graphing the visiting team. I have no clue as to where he is coming out. I have never seen him leave the park. Perhaps he is just living at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
