Coyote Fever. 99.1 and Rising
I hope someone out there will join me in congratulating the Coyotes on their advancement to the ULB, (or is it UBL?) championship series. I attended both home playoff games against Laredo and I must say that they were the most entertaining games I've seen this year. Maybe it's the fact that the Coyotes had to do or die that upped the drama. It could have been the come from behind 10th inning victory or the out hit-out score affair on Monday night. Or was it the beer?
I admit that I was a Roadrunner fan and that I was disappointed to see that organization dismantled. But, being a baseball fan, I gave the Coyotes a chance and up to this point, I am satisfied with the results. I've seen a lot of the old Roadrunner supporters out there, but it still seems a little strange rooting for them.
Edinburgundians are very loyal to their sports teams and are leery of the unknown or anything new. Can anyone remember how Edinburg North High School was treated in the early years? This was (is) Bobcat country and the birth of the Cougars fractured families and frazzled friendships.
Despite some of the snags, the 'Yote management got the hang of things. I got a kick out of watching the twenty three different incarnations of the "pop the water balloon with your head" thing. And how many Energy Team chicks did we go through this year? I recall seeing about fifteen of them at the start of the season. They actually looked, and danced, like dancers. By the time last night rolled around there were only four of them out there. No offense, but those girls looked more like they were the four lowest vote getters in the, "who's the ugliest concessionaire," contest.
I'll be pulling for the Coyotes this weekend and if there are any of you old Roadrunner diehards out there who might still be jaded, come check it out. It's baseball. It's fun. And it's here in Edinburg.

Yep, they were entertaining.
However, the 'Yote's got a couple of home calls in the second game which resulted in 2 runs. Interesting, the final score last night was 5 to 3.
Didn't pay much attention to the dancers. I had more fun watching a little girl in front of me. I'm sure her dad had to bring her along so he could go to the game. Not being interested in the game, she entertained herself with a doll and a plasic baseball cap. The big dude next to me was counting how many times the cap came off and went rolling under the seats in front of her.
All in all, I had a great time....hope you did too.
The Coyotes tried to go cheap with everything. I heard a lot of the people quit because they didn't get paid for weeks. I bet the mangers got paid. Bring back Rowdy!
And with that the air is leaked out of the ballon. I think the litigation will heat up again between the RR and the yotes. Some interesting views could come about..how much did the city actually make from the new team? Did the new team consistently pay their rent on time? We know they could not meet payroll... why not? Some Baseball fans will need to take their blinders off in order to see how much damage was actually done in this little game played by the former city officials and the independant baseball leagues...alas though it will probably never be brought to light.
what do you say now? the coyootes lost and looked bad. the city gets what it deserved. maybe joe ochoa can fix the problem and throw this league out. the last comment said it. how much did the coyotes owe the city? did they pay their rent? did they pay the players? ROADRUNNERS FOREVER!
