CYCLONES: Before big road trip, a day game win at MCU Park
from CYCLONES: Before big road trip, a day game win at MCU Park
See this story at BrooklynPaper.com.
This rare day game was a bit lethargic, but the Cyclones won it with their normal combination of great pitching and timely hitting, including four consecutive singles in the third inning and two two-out RBI singles in the sixth.

Coney Island Goes Formal!
from Gothamist
Improv Everywhere brought their antics to Coney Island yesterday, turning a beach day into a black tie affair! Hundreds of folks dressed in tuxedos and gowns confused the regular beachgoers, as they played in the sand and swam in the ocean in their formal wear.

FACT - I’ve ridden the Cyclone three times this summer. And yes, I’m holding on to that bar for dear life.

Never thought I could have as much fun in Coney Island as I did this weekend considering my last trip nearly resulted in an all out brawl with a crazy lady pushing senior citizenship. Long story.
I went for the Siren Festival, but spent more time on the boardwalk and around the park enjoying the “amusement” than at the shows. There were many highlights, lots of fun with new and old friends, but riding the Cyclone for the very first time was number one. And no pretending here, I was beyond terrified the moment I stepped on the platform. I didn’t have time to second guess anything because boarding was instant, and yet despite all my initial panic, it turns out that one rickety ride was not enough. I went again. The rush! Although, right now I”m wondering if I might have some whiplash because if I could order in Shitasu* I would. Damn, my neck is sore!
*without the happy ending because we all know that that’s the only type of massage available from “a professional” at this hour.
