NBA...

...if not the Lakers, glad it was the Mavs.

Double-header vs. Hyannis tomorrow. Rained out the last two nights. Spent the evening watching Super-Regional games and the NBA Finals tonight.

Be good to get back on the diamond and play a baseball game tomorrow.

Stay away rain!

Lakers...

I love the Lakers, even when they get beat by a #7 seed to even their series at two. I would love nothing more than seeing them give Phil another 3-peat in his final season.

Definitely going to be interesting...stay tuned!

Future Firebird?!

Worked with this little dude the other day...throws the ball pretty well, don't you think?!

Rough day for Lakers and Duke...

...always interested to see how teams react after a setback. Both Duke and the Lakers suffered one today.

On a totally different note, very interested to watch college baseball this spring with the new bats. Should bring a bit of integrity back to the college game.

Game #1 on the Cape...June 10 vs. Harwich...always great to compete against Coach Englert's teams!

Cape Cod...one month away...I depart June 8th on a red-eye out of LAX.

Looking forward to another summer of baseball!

Easter update...

Just checked the Firebirds website, and I am really excited about the field renovations that are happening in Orleans!

One of the best settings in ALL of the collegiate summer leagues, Eldredge Park in Orleans is only going to get better!!

The new dugouts will be extremely nice, and the new netting system is long over-due.

I look forward to seeing everyone in a couple of months.

Until then, take care...

Long time, no blog...

Not quite sure where to start, so here goes. We have climbed back into the race. We are a point out of first after losing last night to Cotuit, 8-5, in a seven inning game shortened because of darkness.

We had five players selected to the ASG yesterday. The game will be played at Fenway next Thursday night. Rob Rasmussen will be the starter for the East - pretty cool for Ras!

Spoke with the Red Sox yesterday. They are going to make a run at Alex Hassan, their 20th rounder. Will be a huge loss if he signs before we are through. Al also made the All-Star team.

We have a MLB Day Saturday with guest speaker Peter Gammons. Should be very interesting.

Weather has been absolutely gorgeous, we have been playing well, and the last 17 games should be exciting! I really think playoff spots will not be determined until the final day of the season.

Have had visits from the DeBlasi's, the Paige clan, and a surprise visit from one of my best friends (Vin Rover) and his two sons (Tommy and Marcus).

Gotta run...the East All-Stars are meeting at Harwich for pictures at 9 am.
