“Dang it! I was all ready to get feisty with the umps and everything!! Stupid Granite Falls bus drivers…” (John Fisken photo)
It is crystal clear blue skies on the prairie, with even a hint of honest-to-goodness warmth, but no baseballs will be smacked Friday.
Why, you ask?
Because someone in Granite Falls is an idiot, that’s why.
Despite there being a baseball game scheduled for MONTHS, someone in upper management failed to read their own memo and didn’t schedule a bus to bring the Tigers to Whidbey Island today.
So now the two schools will have to scramble to makeup the final game in the three-game series (Coupeville has taken the first two), since the regular season ends next week.
It’s even more of a pain in the rear for CHS, since they still have a makeup game with Lakewood to get in.
After being rained out twice, that game is tentatively set for Saturday, May 3 in Lakewood.
Coupeville (6-8 overall, 5-8 in Cascade Conference play) also has its final three-game set against Sultan Monday (April 28), Wednesday (April 30) and Friday (May 2) of next week, so the Wolves will likely be playing five games in less than a week.
Local fans in need of their baseball fix tonight can haul butt down the highway to Langley, where the Falcons will go for an unprecedented three-game sweep of Archbishop Thomas Murphy at 4 PM.
Or, you can sit out in the sun and twiddle your thumbs like the Wolves are being forced to.
