Lineup & Game Notes (July 27, 2011)

Not Raining at Alliant Energy Field!

Before we get started on today’s game, an update to last night’s, um, excitement.

The smoky fire that started in a long-term resident’s room last night was NOT caused by popcorn.  Let’s just say that it was caused by a substance that – after a discussion with a local gendarme – allowed said long-term resident to stay rent-free in a Clinton County hotel that does not let you check out whenever you want.

To today!
