I got bored so i made this really quick.....but here's the story that accompanies it (from northshorespirit.com):
"The North Shore Spirit are quietly stockpiling awards this season. Converted starter Dennis Robinson has earned pitcher of the week honors for the week ending August 12, PA-Sportsticker – official statistician of the CanAm League has reported. The right hander joins Chris Farley, Ryan Bicondoa (2), and Derek Drage as the other members of weekly honorees the Spirit have had this season.
The interesting tidbit regarding the award is that Robinson only started one game for North Shore over the week, but it was an impressive one. In a road start against the Sussex Skyhawks on August 10, Robinson tossed a complete game shut-out gem, scattering four hits while striking out five and walking none.
Robinson was made a starter for the ball club after Bryan Morse was traded to Brockton and Chris Farley’s contract was sold to the Yankees organization. Robinson made his first start on July 18, and picked up a win against the Worcester Tornadoes.
“D-Rob” as he is known around the ballpark garners a 4-3 record on the season (4-1 as a starter) with one save to his credit. His 2.97 earned run average overall is third among Spirit starters behind Matt Bishop (2.20) and Bicondoa (2.96)."
Congrats D-Rob.....you;ve earned it.
Nows here's something I threw together really quick....and shall for every PoTW the league selecets from the Spirit as I personally like this little thing. =]

Spirit Swept By Rox In DH ; Onwards To Sussex!
Tonight Joe won't make it back till late--so he asked me to do the update tonight.
So here it goes:
FIRST OFF: I want to state that Josue finally got hte recognition he deserves....as he and Joey Siak recieved Player of the Month honors from the Spirit. Congrats on continuing to pitch great Joey and it's nice to know Josue was recognised for a month in which he proved why we should start the official "I ♥ Josue" fan cluib. ^_^
Back to buisness.....
For starters: I want Morse back. :'-[
He was a good guy (from what we saw,at least) and is STILL a damn good pitcher. We were on a 5-game winnign streak going into today,and he derailed us......he is still an awesome pitcher in my opinion.....but too bad we traded him. =[
ANYWAYS--In game one former Spirit Bryan Morse went aginst current Spirit Matt Bishop as the Rox came up to Lynn to finish their weirdly-scheduled series against us. Both pitchers were brilliant in this game,but Morse proved that he is still one of the best pitchers in this league as he went the distance in the 1-0 shutout victory for the Rox.
It was vinatge Morse out there for Brockton. He went the complete game for the Rox pitching a one-hit shutout for the Rox. The Sprit would only come close to scoring once in the 7th. After two straight outs and a Torres walk Luis Lopez came up. He hit a deep ball out to right center......and we all thought it was gone as Brockton CF Matt Maloney chased it down. Then we saw him jump up and reach his glove out......AND ROB LOPEZ OF A 2-RUN BLAST! That was the closest the Spirit came all night....and it was shot down with an amazing catch by the Center feidler.
Bishop only allowed (including last night) 8 hits the entire game to Brockton while striking out 4 and walking 4. Even though Brockton got runners on they didn;t get past second until the 9th. In that inning Matt Maloney,with one out,got a single. That was the end of bishop's night and the start of Derek Drage's. Drago came in and Maloney stole a base, and Andre Alvarado followed that with an rbi single to right. But some bad baserunning lead to a 9/2/4 out. Then Lee Rubin poped up to end the 9th for the Rox.
As you can tell,it was a pretty good pitcher's duel....but in the end only one could prevail,and it's the one we all thought would in this situation.
Now onto game 2:
This game sped by quick,lasting only 1 hour,42 minutes. Game 2 featured former Rox Gary Galvez going against current Rox Mike McTamney. This one wasn't really a pitcher's duel,but the Spirit were still held to little offense as the Rox went on to win 3-1 in this 7-innign affair.
Mike McTamney also went the distance for Brockton,throwing a complete game and allowing only 1 run on 5 hits. The Spirit got their onyl run on an Alex Trezza homer in the 2nd,his 9th of the year. the Spirit got close again the next innign with runners on 2nd and 3r and Trezza up again,but he couldn't come through again-strikign out to end the inning and any threat of scoring from the Spirit.
Galvez almost went the distance for the Spirit,going 6 2/3 innings,but didn't pitch well enough afor a win. In that time he gave up 3 runs on 4 hits while strikign out 5 and walking 3. The Rox got on the board first in the 2nd. The first two batters got on via a walk and getting hit,then Maloney came up and once again helped his team--hitting a three-run bomb,his 2nd of the year,to put the Rox up 3-0. The 7th would be the closest they would come to scoring again,as Julio Soriano c ame in to relieve Galvez in the 7th with runners on 2nd and 3rd to strike out Rubin to end the Rox 7th,and any more scoring.
I also want to add i saw quite a few DeVries Jrs out there today. Not much hustle today.....I felt like chanting run it out a few tiems today. We need a hustle coach--maybe BJ? XD
But,in the end the Spirit came out scoring only 1 hit in 16 innings of baseball on 6 hits,and 2 straight loses.
Now the Spirit move on to a 3-game series in Augusta,NJ aggainst the suckit Skyhawks. This should be an easy couple of wins for us,so let's hope that we can keep up what we've been doing and also cheer them on during this final couple of weeks.
NOW,here's a treat for you all....a post-game wrap-up featuring Joe & Jonathan....
SCORES FROM TONIGHT:
Worcester 4, New Jersey 3
New Haven County 6, Grays 4

Derek Drage Receives Player of the Week Honors
Obviously, this is an off-day as the Spirit head down to Brockton for a one-game series tomorrow then back up to Fraser to play two on Wed. & Thur.
There's nothing new on the transaction wires of REAL interest......but on the Can-Am site I saw they had the folowing posted.
=========================================
The official statistician of the Can-Am League, PA-Sportsticker, has selected Grays SS Charles Jeroloman and North Shore Spirit RHP Derek Drage (pictured) as the Batter and Pitcher of the Week for July 30th-August 5th.
In seven games, Jeroloman had a .400 (10-for-25) batting average with three home runs and 13 RBI. He also hit two doubles, scored four runs and had a slugging percentage of .840. In a 9-3 win over the Atlantic City Surf this past Saturday Jeroloman went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and five runs batted in. For the season, the 24-year-old is hitting .288 with four home runs, 20 RBI and 11 runs scored.
Jeroloman was a 21st round pick of the Boston Red Sox in the 2004 MLB draft. He played three seasons with Boston reaching Triple A Pawtucket in 2005 and 2006.
Drage, in five relief appearances for North Shore, allowed only four hits and one walk while striking out four batters and collecting five saves. He is currently 3-2 on the year with a 1.11 ERA and nine saves. Drage has struck out 36 batters in 40 2/3 innings pitched and has held opponents to a .184 batting average.
The 25-year-old was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 21st round of the 2004 MLB draft. He pitched three years in the Pirates organization for Williamsport, Lynchburg and Hickory.
=========================================
Congrats Drage,you deserve it. What a week he's had.
And it's good to see he's pitching so well, even after a small break.
Drage is the 4th Spirit to recieve this honor,the others being Chris Farley (sold to the Yankees--Willy is happy.), Ryan Bicondoa (2-times this season thus far), & Vic Davilla
ALSO: I want to add that I looked at the standings page and saw the attendance standings. In my opinion we're not doing bad at all being in 4th with only 31 openings compared to others. I think we're doing pretty well for ourselves with the reported average we have. =]
Enjoy the off day! ^_^
=========================================
Red Sox note from Joe:
The Sox signed Bobby Kielty, who statistically speaking, is the epitome of an average offensive player (OPS+ of 100). (View his stats here) This is a pretty solid pickup for the Red Sox, just to add to the team's depth. The guy's a decent player.
Eric Hinske has been put on bereavement leave due to a death in the family and the Red Sox have called up Brandon Moss in the meantime - presumably until Kielty comes to town.
Tonight is Schilling's return. Let's see how that goes.
=========================================
EDIT BY ME:Here's a couple of videos to make ya laugh and think of the Grays ^_^
The Grays or Sussex should look into this guy.
