Volleyball Broadcast Tonight!

This note is to let you all know that Coyote Radio will be broadcasting the women's volleyball game between the Cal State San Bernardino Coyotes (ranked #2 in the nation) and the UC San Diego Tritons (ranked # 10).
I will be doing play by play and Wes Collins will be on board with color commentary. Our pre-game show starts at 6:40 pm and the game starts at 7 pm (pacific standard time).

Gotta Love Minor League Baseball

So I'm at Arrowhead Credit Union Park, taking in the game between the host Inland Empire 66ers and the Visalia Oaks and then the announcement is made:
"All fans in attendance shall receive a free loaf of bread and tube of toothpaste."

No shit. I can't make this up, people.

After the game, as we flocked to the parking lot under the cover of the weekly Friday Night post game fireworks show, all fans actually received a loaf of Sara Lee white bread and a tube of toothpaste. God, I love the minor leagues.
Final score... Sixers 6, Visalia 4.

If you're curious, here are the California League Standings:
NORTH
Stockton 36-24 --
San Jose 35-26 1.5
Modesto 30-29 5.5

Storm Baseball

Forget the pros. You wanna have the same fun as going to a major league baseball game at a tenth of the price? Then look up your local minor league baseball team and visit them. Take in a game. For about ten bucks you get a seat with your feet on the dugout.

Saturday night, my dad and I traveled out to the ugly, yet quaint city of Lake Elsinore where they have, as surprising as it seems, a remarkable baseball field called the lake Elsinore Diamond, home of the Lake Elsinore Storm, the advanced single A affiliate of the San Diego Padres. By the way, they have the best logo in all of sports...

We watched them defeat the High Desert Mavericks (advanced single A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, what's up Wes - ) by the score of 2-0. It was an exciting pitcher's duel that was over in just about 2 hours.

Now I'm no stranger to minor league baseball, being only ten minutes away from Arrowhead Credit union Park, home of the Inland Empire 66ers (Seattle Mariners). But what makes Storm baseball more enjoyable is the fact that it is not in downtown San Ber-doo. I strongly recommend minor league baseball because it's fun for the entire family, and it's not expensive.

No Radio Show, Week 2

I'm supposed to be in the final stages of the weekly Turzman Summertime Extravaganza right now.
I should be commenting on the latest shark attacks and shark news in the Internet's only weekly shark attack report.
I am doing none of these things. Part of me is frustrated with it, but I must remind myself and all of you that the New Coyote Radio ( http://coyoteradio.csusb.edu ) is upgrading its facilities and should be better than ever, real soon.
So be patient, friends of The Turz, if for no other reason that I must be patient as well. I will be back on the air next Wednesday from noon to 4 pm, pacific.

Leave your comments on the Turzman PhanFone- 909-881-3654. Leave an e-mail at mike@turzman.com

Every website needs a little bit of cowbell...
