Rick’s picks to click today wrapping up play inside the W
North Park vs Wesleyan
Joe Perona (Coming off a homer and fighting for 2 seed)
North Central vs Elmhurst
Evan Johnson (8/15 last three games)
Augustana vs Carthage
Lawson Shickel (batting .480 in conference play)
Joey the Jerker has officially retired from “the W.” He will now begin a new position as a Service Crew Member for his local McDonald’s in Rockford, Il. Join me in congratulating him on a great career.
4. Carthage Firebirds - simple switch to bird shot and job is done
5. NC Cardinals - same as above (except they aren’t on fire)
6. Elmhurst Bluejays - same as above
7. Wheaton Thunder - they have thunder, but no lightning
8. Millikin Big Blue - what the fuck is a Big Blue?
Possum’s rankings on CCIW mascots in a Possum vs. Mascot death-match:
1. Carroll Pioneers - it’ll be a shootout
2. IWU Titans - I don’t think their shields can hold up a 12 gauge slug
3. Augie/NP Vikings - Possum won’t let them get close enough for them to strike with the axe.
“Maybe someday we’ll all wear 42, that way they can’t tell us apart.”
Props to all of those #InsidetheW representing integration in the CCIW by wearing 42.

Instead of throwing a bullpen this week, kind of feel like going to a trampoline park to play dodgeball and pelt little kids. Maybe then I’ll throw a strike.
