Over in Reading on Sunday, our handsome little Double-A squad, the R-Phils, were set to battle those pesky Bay Sox from Bowie for a pair of 7-inning games (I don’t understand it either). Immediately following the second game, a Beatles cover band named Number Nine were performing for the sold-out crowd (seriously), but during the game, they were busy paying tribute to the 45th anniversary of the Beatles. Since I’m not the biggest Beatles fan around, I couldn’t tell you exactly what it was that it was the 45th anniversary of (Their first album? Inaugural trip to America? When they met?), but what I can do is dig through people’s Flickr accounts and post pictures of Domonic Brown on the jumbotron looking like one of the fab four. Check it out, blokes:
Just to warn you, Domonic Brown is my new favorite Phillies-related obsession. So no matter if he’s hitting 400+ foot home runs out of FirstEnergy Stadium, or plastered on the jumbotron in a silly haircut, I’m probably gonna post about it.

Double headers in the minors are only 7 innings each. Don’t know why, but they are.
September 2nd, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Why?
September 2nd, 2009 at 1:59 pm
I think its because no one would really stay all 18 innings.
September 2nd, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Yeah, the 1st time I heard it is watching the Iron Pigs on Tv. Yeah, I don’t understand that part too.
September 2nd, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Not as bad as the pictures of the phils from 70s night.
September 2nd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
They have the same rules as college doubleheaders (which also doesn’t explain anything). Hell, even playoff doubleheaders are 7 a piece.

I’ve played on some low budget squads, like the Mariners, but the Reading Phils shouldn’t use Michael Taylor’s head-shot for “Domonic” Brown. It’s not good baseball.
September 2nd, 2009 at 2:23 pm
damn, i just realized … i’ve seen TWO 7-inning bowie bay sox doubleheaders this year, and they’ve won all four games. they swept altoona earlier this summer when mike “former phils cup o’ coffee” costanzo jacked a grand slam to the deepest part of centerfield, and i was in reading for magical mystery doubleheader night on sunday. drabek was supposed to pitch, but as we know, the phils shelf’d him. damn it!
on the other hand, the fireworks after those 14 innings were pretty spectacular.
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Pretty sure Domonic Brown will at least be promoted to Allentown before he gets to 400 home runs at Reading meech.
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:08 pm
That’s 400+ FOOT (which I’ve just added), Mr. Roast. Looks like I’ll be firing yet another editor who didn’t catch that.
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:14 pm
When I played college ball, we did 7 inning double headers every Sunday. Two games took about 5 – 5 1/2 hours. It shaves about an hour and a half off of 9 inning games. That’s the only reason they play 7 inning games.
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:25 pm
gonzo is correct
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Kinda looks like Austin Powers
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Excellent. Maybe he should replace Raul Ibanez.
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:50 pm
THIS GUY was late for 70’s Night by two days.
By the way, it’s the 45th anniversary of the Beatles’ first trip to America. (Now you can get some sleep, ’cause I’m sure that was keeping you up.)
September 2nd, 2009 at 4:09 pm
that guy’s great and all, photoN, but nobody beats Pirate Guy. i hate coors light, but i HAVE to get one when i see his fake parrot hanging off his shoulder…
September 2nd, 2009 at 5:03 pm
4daysrest.com: Michael Taylor would be good for that in 2010, except Raul Ibanez makes $10 million plus in each of the next two years.
September 2nd, 2009 at 5:20 pm
He looks demonic.
September 2nd, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Pirate Guy is cool, but NO ONE beats Yuengling Man in Reading. Dude’s got a Yuengling can stuck to his hat and if you buy more than one round in the game, he’ll remember you and make sure he swings back to you before last call.
September 2nd, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Dom Brown is going to be so ridiculous. I can’t wait.

Nothing beats the bicycle races.

@Tug
Don’t forget the single “WAWA!” blared every time an R-Phils batter walks. I was there opening night when they started all this crazy ish and and wasn’t sure if these subliminal messages were real or if I’d consumed too many Yuenglings (probably both, though, although not from Yuengling Man).
September 2nd, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Hey Sarge- It’s fucking Jupiter, man. Check it out.
September 2nd, 2009 at 9:25 pm
We got the Roast Beef chant at the LV ironpigs games too. Damn it the Roast beef guy never bats one in though when I’m there.
September 2nd, 2009 at 9:34 pm
@ RyanfromLV
Yeah tell me about. The reason I hate Kevin Mahar has entirely to do with him never getting me any roast beef. I think if they don’t come through for roast beef in X consecutive at-bats, they should have to buy everyone in a certain section roast beef. That’ll learn ‘em.
September 2nd, 2009 at 9:50 pm
beatles anthology on VH1 right now, to wash away the pain of tonight. JUST PWNED THIS POST’S TITLE.
September 2nd, 2009 at 10:03 pm
I think back when MLB still had TRUE double headers, they were always 7 inning games, weren’t they? Or at least one of the games was.
HA. I got me FOUR free roast beefs my last time at the R-Phils. Just quietly pocketed my wifes and kids stubs after the game and had me one hell of a lunch the next day. R-Phils are done at home for the regular season. Hopefully we’ll have some playoff baseball to watch.

@4daysrest
I heard that comment from Sarge and couldn’t decide if it was hilarious or just sad. Saturn has the rings, damnit.
