At this point you can only wonder what’s going to happen next for the Barnstormers. There hasn’t been a meteor shower at Clipper Magazine Stadium, yet. Locusts haven’t swarmed the field. Other than that, the team has endured just about every possible misfortune.

2-0, 4.15 ERA

The cynical part of the Barnstormers probably expected something to go wrong. They’ve won seven of their last nine games, are benefiting from great pitching and seem to have found the right lineup mix. So, naturally, someone had to get injured. That’s the M.O. for 2008.
