Random Rolling Stones Lyrics:

You can put me out on the street
Put me out with no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery

In my day job as an art critic I occasionally organize art exhibits and this Saturday night there will be a nice reception for my latest, entitled Animal Magnetism, taking place in Orange County!

The exhibit is at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art (OCCCA) in downtown Santa Ana. The reception is in the evening, 7-ish, basically just head down after Saturday's game and it will be a pretty cool scene. I wrote a short essay for a nice catalog that accompanies my show. My OCCCA show runs thru September 27.

Random Rolling Stones Lyrics:

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doin' things I used to do
They think are new

AAA: The Salt Lake Bees WIN 13-10 over Sacramento RiverCats (A's) 1-0 in best of 5 conference playoffs. Olympian Matt Brown led the mashing over our diviisional rival's future underpaid stars.

AA: The Arkansas Travellers had their first game of the 2008 Texas League North Division Playoff Series postponed by Hurrican Gustav's continued rain. Their opponent in the best of 5 series is the Northwest Arkansas Naturals (Royals).

In other Travellers news, the team will get the services of Hank Conger for the playoffs as King Conger was transferred from High Single A to AA because...

High A: Rancho Cucamonga lost a one-game 13-inning playoff Tuesday. The manager and a coach and player Larry Infante got ejected from the game due to terrible umpiring.

Low A: It has stopped raining in Cedar Rapids and the Kernels took Game 1 of their Division Semi-Final against the Clinton Lumber Kings (wasn't that Barack Obama's opponent this past Summer too?). It was a 3-0 shutout of the Texas Rangers-affiliated Lumber Kings.

Rookie League: Our Orem Owlz play the Dodgers affilaite, the Ogden Raptors, beginning tomorrow.

No word from our Arizona or Dominican Rookie leagues, but sufice to say, we are kicking extreme tail in the minors.
