Interesting take from Lansing State Journal

[KenTre1983]

"It would be more disappointing to be Purdue — to be 6-3 when you’re every bit as good as the 8-1 team you just beat. The Spartans have largely maximized their season to this point."

That's kind of a back-handed compliment, I suppose.

kind of us like saying their coach looks like Aunt Ester

Well he's not altogether wrong. You and I both know we should be 7-2, stupid Minn, but hey, that's football.

 

[TC4THREE]

Check back with us in a month. MSU isn't done losing yet.

 

[FirstDownB]

If we had their schedule to date we might be 8-1

Consider the source.

They’ve already gotten to pad their record with IU and we haven’t yet. So really not fair to compare records at this point.

 

[mk_peters]

Negative, Purdue would be 9-0.

yeah, they don't impress me neither.

hated losing to Minny but on the other side, we were somewhat fortunate to beat Illinois.

Writing for the Lansing State Journal is the media equivalent of being a 30-year old pitcher on the roster of the El Paso Chihuhuas.

If you didn’t like El Paso just say so.. no need to shit on your former team like that.

Wow... a few things about that.

One, there really is an El Paso Chihuahuas (although, I'm not sure how that team/mascot has survived the idiots of today).

Two, it looks like there are actually THREE pitchers 30 or over on that roster.

Three, that's not so bad, as it appears to be a AAA affiliate of the San Diego Padres (another team/mascot ripe for canceling).

I really like minor league baseball.

There are some interesting programs, and some have adopted some unusual names:

Lansing Lugnuts
Omaha Storm Chasers
Albuquerque Isotopes
Portland Sea Dogs
Clinton Lumberkings
Rocky Mountain Vibes
Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs
Savannah Sand Gnats
Richmond Flying Squirrels
New Orleans Baby Cakes
Daytona Tortugas
Vermont Lake Monsters
Colorado Springs Sky Sox
Down East Wood Ducks
Amarillo Sod Poodles
Montgomery Biscuits
Florida Fire Frogs

So, when the topic of the El Paso Chihuahuas came up (and, his name appears to be "Pepe", less!), I had to look it up.

Best food at a minor league venue?

Holy rationalization, Batman😵‍💫

Purdue flat-out throttles a favored, undefeated Sparty team, and somehow PURDUE is supposed to be “disappointed”???

Apparenty, Michigan State is not good with that logic thingy….

No love for the Fort Wayne Tin Caps?

Well it is M$U. The land of rapists and felons.

Yes, like the UM student's car that they flipped in what was described as a "mob" after the MSU/UM game. Animal house without any coolness to it.

 

[bonefish1]

MSU students generally are D-bags. Not as bad as iu, but they're in the team picture.

The Macon Bacon and the Savannah Bananas are two of my favorites.

Parkview Field is a great venue

The head lines coming out of East Lansing is that they were down three of their top player for the Purdue Game.
Purdue has had three or more significant players hurt for most of the season..... East Lansing Head Lines should have read.........

"Dept of Family Services Initiates Investigation into Confirmed Accounts of Child Abuse on Five MSU Defensive Backs, O`Connell, Bell Named As Suspects"

If that list of top players didn't include Walker, Thorne or Reed, it should be an irrelevant statement. Just whining.

That’s funny. Same here. Our park decided instead of going with major league teams, to go with minor leagues ones. That’s who we got too!

There's a reason for that, and unfortunately it's MLB $$.

MLB could be "partnering" with groups such as LL and Cal Ripken for their "house leagues". Unfortunately, that's not what they deem in their best interest...

When we were in Florida a few years ago, we had a free evening and went down the road to see the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, a AA affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. It was a fun time. It’s an entertaining atmosphere and a lot of interaction with the crowd
