I’m down with the Barnstormers, who if nothing else get me out of the office on Saturday nights. It’s an excellent ballpark in a nice downtown location, and it seems like a well-run, quality organization.
But this is their fifth year and they’ve had exactly one winning half-season. It’s taken nearly three and-a-half hours tonight to play six and-a-half innings even though the teams have just six hits apiece, and we’ve just endured a bizarre seven-minute choral rendition of ”God Bless America” that had me almost literally crawling the press-box walls, and I wasn’t the only one.
People keep showing up, though, God love ‘em. I hate to say this, but I’m starting to wonder why.

Fireworks. They just started.
Oh, and desperation. Remember the Convention Center? It's potential for success is based, to a large degree in the public mind, on the Barnstormers' potential for success. 
Sounds like a potential '404' down the road. |

I remember that the LCCCA had let most of their domains expire for a while.
"LancasterCountyConventionCenter.com" was allowed to expire about a year and a half after the LCCCA sued to get it back (which they did ONLY when they agreed to allow public comment at public meetings), and fell into the hands of a squatter from Korea who had hoped to make a BIG profit from it; instead, it sat empty for two years, until even the squatter dropped it. Some months later, someone else picked it up...
When was that screen shot taken? |

These games are BORING. But that is modern baseball. Do they really have to change pitchers 8 times a game? |
