Weekend blogging

Two things I didn’t know until last night/this morning: The Peking Palace on Harry & Rock is open until 3 a.m. That’s free pub for the Palace, but I suspect that anyone who really needed to know that already does.

The Wingnuts are kind of plodding along, staying around .500 for the second half and hoping to make a run that pushes them into the playoffs. They better hurry up, though, because 48 games goes a lot quicker than it seems and they have a 13-game road trip coming up early next month.Dustan Mohr will likely go on the disabled list on Monday, two days before a scheduled procedure on his thyroid. The Wingnuts will probably sign another position player and be forced to release a pitcher. Judging by statistics, it’s probably fairly easy to guess who that pitcher will be, but it hasn’t been announced yet so I’ll keep quiet.

Other than that, we’re just waiting for another game against Sioux City, seemingly the only team that ever plays against Wichita at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium. The Wingnuts need this one pretty badly and have to feel good sending Richard Salazar to the mound. The left-hander, nicknamed “Too Sexy” by the ladies in the Nuthouse (I can’t vouch for that) has been the Wingnuts’ best starter since moving to the rotation about a month ago.
