to sign with Chattanooga for AA.

 

I 'm so happy that no Twins prospect will have to say "I'm a Yard Goat".

Got a few friends in the Hartford area what took me to see Ben Revere playin' for the Rock Cats...

 

I think i best ask what they think of it. I do like the name though, truly quirky!

Quirky, yes.

 

I think I'm just too old for something so nonsensical.

Is a yard goat an animal native to New England or do they simply have some very lax livestock laws in that area?

Is what I am telling myself even though I will not.

Yes.

But we all knew that already, right?

Thanks, I was this close to searching the term in Urban Dictionary at work, but was worried the returned results might get me a visit from HR.

I'm really excited to see uniforms and caps for the Yard Goats. I've got high hopes. I just hope they have a goat mascot, not a train. If they have a train I'm severing an artery. ****ing trains.

[JB_Iowa]

It'll be goats. Look what was on stage.

 

They have to get those goats some media training, though.

[bird]

Ash, if I order a cap, will it have a damn train on it?

I hope the mascot is a goat in an ol' fashioned engineer's uniform. Bandana around the neck, overalls, and... whatever the train-drivin' hat is called.

Producing pellets on demand, you're saying?

[Brock Beauchamp]

At least they're not letting the goats inside the house. That'd just be weird.
