(S)Iberian Divide

This does it for my baseball coverage this year...most of my damn games were rained out. I got stuck with soccer.

Now I must live with endless pointless summer activities that no one cares about until I finally get some Friday Night Football in August.

Here's the baseball:

IBERIA—By his own admission, Eugene junior pitcher Damon Adrian is not the ace of the Eagle staff. His performance in Wednesday night’s Class 2 District 8 championship game against Iberia could have fooled anyone.

“It’s a pretty good feeling,” he said after his 6-1 complete game victory at Hooper Field in Iberia.

But he’s not the ace.

“No, our ace is going to pitch on Monday,” he said when asked if he’d go again in the Class 1 sectional. “Not me.”

Really? Adrian’s not the ace?

“Well, I guess we’re pretty even,” Adrian said. “But he’s number one.”

Adrian fanned eight in a complete seven innings of work, holding the top-seeded Iberia Rangers to two hits.

The Kansas City Star posted this on their crime blog, calling it "the dumbest thing you will see today." I might agree:



Thanks, KC Star. Here's part two.

David Bowie approves.
