Fantastic, nail-biting game. 1 win away from ending their (and Winnipeg's) Championship drought... One. Win. Away.

I watched this one on TV. I'm the Goldeyes biggest fan!
Okay, I can admit I am a bandwagon goldeyes fan. Wait, does suddenly having an interest after you've heard they are up 1-0 in the 5 game championship series count as bandwagon? I DID watch most of the last 5 innings of game 2 keep in mind.

Hope the Goldeyes can pull out the win and finish this off. A championship is a championship, even if it is in Baseball . GO GOLDEYES!

Hope the Goldeyes win the championship but it annoys me a bit that when the bus left for Wichita this morning most of the players had all their possesions with them and won't be coming back to Winnipeg, just going straight home regardless if they win or lose. So there won't be any celebration should they win until the start of next season. Oh well.

As much as I like the Goldeyes, I really don't think they would be mobbed by fans or given a parade if they win.

I would love to see something done when the Goldeyes win (as they will!) and hopefully they will do something at the start of next season when the team is back in town.
I'm not surprised that team members are going home straight from Wichita, it's not like they have a household to move back home from Winnipeg, and when you factor in their salaries,I see why they would they want to save every penny they could, in travelling back to their homes from as close as possible. And Winnipeg is not close. These boys live on shoestring salaries, they don't get hockey player money, they get to spend 15 hours on a bus and do not get put up in 4 star hotels.
I wish them all the best and will be listening to the game tomorrow night.
I hope Paul's voice holds out!

Playoff baseball is a lot of fun. There are 13 teams in the American Association and only 4 make the playoffs. We squeaked into the wild card spot and swept the best team in the league (65-35 Fargo). Now we are undefeated in the playoffs and up 2 games heading into Wichita tonight! I think we'll wrap this one up tonight.
If we win the championship there will be a bit of a party at Shaw Park. Not a Jets type parade or anything but there will be something.
The last regular season game of the year the GM (Andrew Collier) and manager (Rick Forney) shook everyone's hand and thanked them as they left the ballpark. A nice touch for sure.
Paul Edmonds mentioned that over 16,000 people have been to the last 3 Goldeyes games. It would take other teams 8-12 games to get attendance like that.
We're not a baseball town but the Fish may be the city's best kept secret.
Bomber game will be on mute tonight while TSN1290 is on to listen to the game. This is the only Winnipeg team that has a chance right now of winning anything and they certainly appreciate the support.

If Winnipeg sports teams won Champioships on a regular basis, this Goldeyes Championship wouldn't be as big a deal as it is. Pains me to say that a little, since I love the Goldeyes so much, but considering how often Wpg sports teams win the big one, something special should be done for the team.
At the very least they should get the cover of the Free Press & Wpg Sun.
