Out in Bridgeport

Rumor has it Matthew Perry is staying at my hotel in Bridgeport. Why is this important? I'm not sure, but my girlfriend and I are huge Friends/Studio 60 fans, so seeing Chanandler Bong in person would be pretty cool. Not like those Friends fans who only know famous episodes and famous lines, but those ones who remember every guest star's character name and battle each other until death in Friends Scene It.

In other news from Bridgeport, the Patriots have placed infielder/outfielder Jose Morban on the disabled list. Morban has been hobbling around the field the past few days, so this is not a surprising move, but it could be a devastating one. After a slow start to the season, Morban had really come on of late, leading the team in batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage.
Also, the field in Bridgeport is currently in the worst shape of any I've seen in the Atlantic League in 2 years on the beat. It has not been raining or anything, so it is somewhat perplexing. Parts of the field -- especially in foul territory and by the pitcher's mound -- appear to be dirt pained green to match the grass. It's a shame because the Bluefish might be the best team in the league.
The crowd is very good for a non-weekend game in Bridgeport.
