M's season winds down at the Mac

Making the midweek game for the Bradenton Marauders has been a nice season long ritual.

A break from the work week grind with a game, a foot-long hot dog and a beer.

Not even Wednesday evening's rain kept us away from McKechnie Field.

That the game started  45 minutes late mattered not at all.

Nor did the fact it was not a good night for the Marauders, the first-place team in the FSL South.

Home team couldn't buy a break --- or string together enough hits --- against the Brevard County Manatees.

Sherri didn't have any luck with bingo night cards, either.

We stayed for the seventh-inning stretch, as usual, sang "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" and headed home.

On the way out, we noticed there were only 16 home games left on the wall-sized schedule --- unless the Marauders make the playoffs.

Where has the season gone?

We'll back at the ol' ballyard a bunch more before it's over.
