Team in Midseason Form?

The Whitecaps had a bigger win last night than they did all of last season. After jumping out to an early lead thanks to back to back homers in the first, they continued to pile it on. At one point in the game, they led 6-2.

After the Firebirds chipped away for the middle innings, they got their first lead of the night late. Going into the ninth inning, they led 8-6. If it were the 2008 or 2007 Whitecaps in the game, it would have been over. But luckily, there's a new coach and a new attitude in town. Returning catcher Jim Klocke came through with the game winning, 2-RBI single, and Brewster held on.

Games like that are the reason I love baseball, and I'm sure that's the case for many other people as well. What makes it different for me is the fact that I get to share that excitement with others. Exciting games like last night's are the easiest to call, even if there was some trouble setting up in the first place.

One thing I've learned through the various internships I've had is that Murphy's Law can actually be true. Being early, especially extra early is always a help. For anyone looking to go into the broadcast media world, BE THERE EARLY. That way you have plenty of time to figure things out. If we hadn't been almost two full hours early, there's no way Graham and I would have gotten the game on the air in time for the first pitch.
