Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Major League Effort, Minor League Beverages


Last night, in a do-or-die game, the Columbus Clippers defeated the Norfolk Tides 5-0 to advance to the Governor's Cup, the championship series of the International League.  The Clippers were led by a great effort from pitcher Mike Clevinger, who worked almost eight hitless innings in his first-ever appearance for Columbus.  In the championship round, the Clippers, AAA affiliates of the Cleveland Indians, will face the Indianapolis Indians, affiliates of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Needless to say, the Clippers were pretty stoked about their victory and they let loose with the traditional locker-room champagne celebration.  If you look closely at the photo, you'll see that the champagne is Cook's and beer is Natty Light.

Nice win, guys, but you're still in the minor leagues.
