    Jayne is owner of the website.

    Anytime I see her name, I think of the Hero of Canton....

    Jayne!
    The man they call Jayne!
    He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor.
    Stood up to the man and he gave him what for.
    Our love for him now, ain't hard to explain,
    The hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!
    Now Jayne saw the Mudders' backs breakin'.
    He saw the Mudders' lament.
    And he saw that magistrate takin'
    Every dollar and leavin' five cents.
    So he said, "You can't do that to my people!"
    "You can't crush them under your heel."
    Jayne strapped on his hat,
    And in five seconds flat,
    Stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal.
    He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor.
    Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for.
    Our love for him now ain't hard to explain,
    The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne.

    I know that, but the name of the site is What the Heck, Bobby. At least that's the URL I go to.

    It is. Bobby as in the departed Bobby Heck. The owner of the site is Jayne Hansen.

    Every time I go to the site, I think that Jayne should change the name of the site, since Bobby Heck is long departed.

    It's a great site but a name change is way, way overdue there.

    What the Heck, Bobby has name recognition now. Climbing Tals Hill is out dated as well. Paul Brown no longer coaches the Cleveland Browns. LA doesn't have lakes and there sure as heck isn't jazz in Utah.

    Last night, Brett Adcock (4th round pick from Michigan last year) made his first appearance since blowing out his knee in Tri-City and allowed 2 hits, walked 2, and struck out 8 in 4.2 innings for Quad Cities.

    Dean Deetz dominated, allowing just 1 run (on a sac fly), a single, walking 2, and striking out 8 over 5 innings as Corpus beat Arkansas 6-1.

    Today, Franklin Perez will make his season debut for Buies Creek.

    Is he the guy that gave up as many walks as innings pitched in college (may be a slight exaggeration)?

    To be more specific, it was a grand slam. Spencer Johnson also has a grand slam, and Quad Cities is up 10-4 on Wisconsin in the 6th.

    Franklin Perez's final line in Buies Creek: 5.1 IP, H, 3 BB, 5 K
