Peoria: Hello From Clinton With Games Notes/Lineup 5-8-14

On the road again as we are now in Clinton, Iowa where fortunately we are in a new hotel. No more Super 8 with no food options around it and now we are at newer and nicer Oak Tree Inn with a Super Wal-Mart, Target, Kohl’s and plenty of food options in Applebee’s, Pizza Hut, Maid-Rite, Chinese Buffet, Subway, Burger King and a couple gas stations for plenty of food options. There’s also a movie theater next door but with three night-games this week that likely won’t be a factor for the guys or staff this week. But still, location of a hotel can be fantastic on a road trip and this is a nice improvement.

It was overcast, water puddling up on the tarp that covered the infield at Dozer Park on Monday afternoon.
