Before an announced crowd of 12,000 last nite. For those playing at home, that is 500 less than the minor-league Charlotte Checkers drew about a week ago.

The Bobjohnsons are now 16-17 at home for the year and are six games out of the last playoff spot in the East with 23 games to play. In other words, they are lotto bound again.

Like I’ve said, the only thing that is going to turn this franchise around is actually winning the ping-pong ball sweepstakes.
