Lou and Giants GM Brian Sabean go way back, working for the Yankees in the 80s.

Lou will be based out of Florida so he can stay closer to home. There's a good chance I'll see him here in Richmond to watch the Flying Squirrels, the Giants' Double-A affiliate.

...the Flying Squirrels!!!

That beat out four other options: Rock Hoppers, Hush Puppies, Rhinos, and Flatheads.

It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but I'll give it some time to see if it grows on me. I'm just glad pro ball is back here in Richmond.

Saturday's Richmond Times-Dispatch featured a story on Sean Marshall, who came back home to suburban Chesterfield during the All-Star break.

The description of this game on the MLB Network schedule is not quite accurate, but I won't let it hinder my enjoyment of the game.
This is one of a few classic games to enjoy tomorrow...
