Inside: Omar Gonzalez Homer, Max Stagg, Homer, Max Stagg game-winning RBI, and post-game interview with Stagg and Al Coates.

Clearly Fergalicious wasn't working for Stagg! Back to Saving Up and he's so back! It's awesome how much he loves playing here. "There's no other experience in collegiate summer ball like this"

Listening to EFRS radio tonight and it's call after call after call.

Thanks EFRS for being there to help with the aftermath of that storm!

There's a big difference between someone calling me about a pothole and a paid lobbyist trying to influence a decision with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line.

That's why tomorrow, Executive Committee is looking at a proposal I'm bringing forward with Councillors Clark, Schmidt and Atkinson to pursue a lobbyist registry.

Right now, Calgary has no public system that tells you who's lobbying City Hall or what they're lobbying us about.

More and more cities across Canada and North America are making that information public. The federal and provincial governments already have lobbyist registries.

It typically includes information like who you are, who you are trying to influence, and most importantly, who's paying you.

There's a reason these other places have a registry. Big decisions get made. A lot of money is on the line.

Calgary is growing up as a city, and fast. Our budget is now bigger than some provinces and territories. We make decisions involving billions of dollars.

So we're asking our independent Ethics Advisor to look at how other cities handle this and answer questions on a path forward. If someone is being paid to influence a major decision at City Hall, I think you should know about it.

Link to our committee agenda and text of motion are here.

Buttcheeks were clenched the whole way. What a clutch!

Props to the concession team, this really, really exceeded my expectations!!

I've been working (voluntarily and independently) on a little app for the West Coast League that includes live notifications, game scores, and team and player stats.

There is no tracking or ads. The only goal is that the players have more exposure to scouts, that we fans have easier access to stats while we're sitting in the stands, and that the players' families and friends can get updates.

Right now, both the iOS and Android apps are tied up in testing and need a few folks to help test them before they can be released to the public app stores.

If you want to help out with beta testing it and optionally providing feedback, please DM me your Google Play Store or Apple App Store email address, and I'll get you hooked up as soon as Google and Apple let me (probably today). All I ask is that you physically shake your phone and report any bugs you find, or anything you want improved.

Reddit is built on anonymity if you want it, so if you send me your email address, you have my word that it's safe with me and won't be used except to administer access to the beta app. Just let me know if you are keen on the iOS or the Android app so I can send you the appropriate invite.
