Greg Bird must have heard that the only thing I cared about seeing since I was going to be at the game last night was him hitting a home run. He treated me to three - a solo shot to right field, a two-run homer to left center, and a line drive homer to right - coming a grand slam short of the homer cycle. He drove in all seven of the RiverDogs' runs. Such an awesome game to be at. A few pictures and possibly a post of its own coming sometime soon, maybe.
