Now we know what it feels like to be on the other side of this. American League fans……..truth of the matter is we are just baseball fans with a plan to see a few games in every Major League Park in the country. Besides how serious could we take an insult from a furball running around town in a cape and speedo…….

 

No bail has been ordered for 26 year old Derrick D West-Jones (no relation to Derrick D East-Jones) for popping a cap in Kathleen Jackson after an argument over loud music at a party. Witnesses say a scuffle broke out after people complained about the music coming from an apartment at 63rd and Taylor and that West-Jones fired a shot hitting Jackson in the head. No word on what type of music the argument was over however friend say West-Jones is a fan of show tunes.

 

And it looks as if more than thunder was popping in the No-K coral last night after a person was taken to the hospital with another gunshot wound. Police were searching the area near 30th and Spaulding for evidence. No wonder there is such a lead problem in the area. With all the bad shots and spent bullets laying around.

 

Mr Brandt inked his name on the memorandum of understanding for 25 years of the CWS in Omaha if we build the new ballpark. A final contract is expected shortly. Mupett Mike was said to be doing a naked jig in the window of the City County Building while giving the Councilman from South Omaha the finger. No word on what will happen with the Rosenblatt location but some have suggested a Big Joe Polka Show Museum.

 

Lancers-Waterloo Game 3 tonight.

 

More later………

  1. Oh, man… how I miss calling Big Joe from Grandma’s house to make a request. Wonder if anyone has tapes/CDs of his old shows.

  4. The last time I tried the Speedo Polka, I ended up flat on my face on the tile floor of the women’s restroom at the IPB center. Sorry for the Am League insults… those are kind of standard lines with me! I am a baseball purist. I like small ball and HATE the dh. (db that is real baseball terminology and not something else… I know you hate sports). As far as MLB is concerned, this is next year! Go North Siders!
