Rockford Riverhawks :shifty:

Not an affiliate of anyone sadly. I don't understand how Rockford doesn't have a true minor league team. They built a brand new stadium in an area of town that's starting to boom with business being put up.

Went to a Kane County Cougars game a couple weeks ago, and it was terrible. I was paying $6.25 for a beer...that stadium needs to be shut down. The three party decks, two in the outfield and one near the end of the 1B line were all completely empty. I've never seen a worse use of "resources" in my life.

$6.25 for a beer at a Kane County Cougars game? WTF?

South Bend Silver Hawks have a SS-2B duo that I really like watching. Particularly fond of Jamie Westbrook, little guy 2B with a weak arm but smooth fielding motions and an ability to put the barrel on the ball. Power may never be much above fringe average but he has gap power and good aptitude for hitting. I lurve him.
