The Wichita Wingnuts (my brother’s team) have advanced once again in CNBC’s minor league logo contest. From the 252 teams, they started with the 64 best, and now it’s down to four !

The Wingnuts will return on MONDAY to take on the Lumberkings. No, not those Lumberkings — the “Clinton Lumberkings” from Iowa. So all of you Taylor Farm Lumberkings and fans — don’t let that sway your voting. It’s WINGNUTS all the way to the title 😉 Thanks to all of you who took the time to vote.

We’ll post a voting link on Monday for the Wingnut – Clinton matchup, so be sure to return to vote !
