Made it to The Diamond yet to catch a game? I know there've only been two opportunities, and people were trying their best to gouge on Craigslist for Home Opener passes, but still, you need to get this "go see a game" thing on your calendar. Five more games in this homestand, folks. Get on it.
- Fans of the VCU Main Hospital Cafeteria and other Aramark contract service foodstuff operations, prepare to be disappointed. The Diamond's food is all being taken care of in-house, and features squirrely fries served by vendor-tainers. Vendor-tainment Tonight with Mary Hart can't be too far behind. [Style Weekly]
- "3 hit game a great sign from Gillaspie after his recent power surge. If he can maintain the BA/OBP with the added power, we have a prospect on our hands ... if he can field a position." [When the Giants Come to Town]
- The Home Opener was a real hit, fan experience wise: "[I]n spite of what you may have heard, baseball on The Boulevard still works [...] At one point kids were shooting stuffed flying squirrels at other kids who tried to catch them in baggy pants … you had to be there." [Richmond.com]
- John Murden's photos from the game reveal the existence of a "Nutshack Club." Also, the guy in the American flag explosion outfit that I once saw put an Italian Sausage onto a funnel cake at the Chesterfield County Fair and eat it just like that. I wish I was making this up. [RVAnews]
- Bus Leagues Baseball had the best interview you can possibly have with a mascot. Nutzy's going to be the most popular dude with an outsized head in this city in no time. [Bus Leagues Baseball]
- Baseball America's business blog wonders if Washington might be looking at an affiliation with the Squirrels when their San Francisco PDC is up at the end of this season. As they note though, Harrisburg does have a fancy new stadium and isn't that far from Washington, so, why bother? [Baseball America]
- As you'd expect with such a killer logo, merchandise sales are majorly brisk. Tattoo shops, here's your notice: stock up on red and black ink. [Richmond Times-Dispatch]
