Goldeyes struggles continue; meanwhile the Bomber near their first pre-season game.

    The Winnipeg Goldeyes' early season struggles continue. After an 8-0 start on the road, and an overall 10-3 record through their first 13 games, the Goldeyes' seemed like they were right where they left off a season ago. However, after being swept at home by Fargo, the fish split a four game set with Sioux Falls in South Dakota during the week, and lost the first game against Fargo last night 3-1 when Amos Ramon's possible 3 run shot was stopped short at the warning track. They are 3-7 in their last 10 games.
    Fortunately for the Goldeyes' the struggles continue elsewhere in the North Division as they still sit tied for top spot with the St. Paul Saints at 12-9.
    The Fish play tonight and tomorrow night in Fargo before opening up a homestand on Monday night with 3 games against the Whichita Wingnuts in a rematch of last season's AA final. They then welcome their fellow Canadian brethren the Quebec Les Capitales to Shaw Park for a 3 game set before heading out on the road to play St. Paul.

    All fist fights aside, the Bombers training camp it going according to plan. Both the offense and defense look ready to go. Fights broke out because of the intensity of their training camp, but why shouldn't they be intense? All these players want to make the team, they want to make a difference, they want to make the first year in their new state of the art stadium a memorable one, and they want to win for the fans, who've already bought up to 25,000 tickets for each game so far. The fights are done and done, as the Bombers look to put a winning team one the field for the 2013 CFL season.
