Hello, Anyone

Hello anyone, "DaveCo" here.

I was wondering how many people still visit this blog. I thought this might be a good opertunity to check in and give updates on ourselves if you still click this link every now and then.

I myself am still doing video stuff. i'm in my second year at the New England Insitute of Art in Brookline. I'm doing good thus far and my video-making skills have improved greatly. I'm also still working at LynnCAM part-time. Both of those are going pretty well for me currently. I can't wait until I can wokr there full-time though.

Otherwise I'm looking for freelance work, so **cheap plug time** if you guys or anyone you know need a cameraman or editor please send me an e-mail (DmstrDman20@aol.com). In my free time I've been making indpendent movies and a tv show on the side. if you guys are interested in the tv show we're currently making then here is the pilot: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=ABC6C031DB772726

So, overall I'm doing pretty good. So, leave some updates on yourselves here. I wanna try to organize something for everyone to go to and see everyone again in the near-future (for real this time), possibly the summer.

Nashua Pride Soap Opera At An End?

Based on a Nashua City Council meeting last night, the Nashua Pride will be back, but might be renamed. Mr. Stabile did list the team for sale, and a new ownership group, with Dan Duquette (Pittsfield Dukes) and some other guys from the NECBL, will buy the team.

The last hurdle, renegotiating the lease with Nashua to let the owners put in some additional games with a military all-stars team ($1000 a pop) and up to 4 concerts ($2500 to the city). The new owners want the name to be the American Defenders, to stress the military tie-in--and have reportedly also signed for 3 years.

To follow this soap opera, go to nashuatelegraph.com, then click on Sports, and lastly click on Pride.

Manny To LA.....thoughts?

Me,Eric,and my family went up to Nashua for a game tonight. It was against Brockton and went into the 10th inning. Old friend Jamie Baker came in for Brockton for a couple of innings and held the Pride down....but they eventually played fundamental baseball and won the game on a walkoff single. It was fun up there,and me and Eric both enjoyed ourselves--I'd like to try to go to one more Can-Am game this summer before the season ends. Who's in? =]

Now......for some good discussion: What does everyone think of the Manny Ramirez trade?
Keep in mind that the Red Sox acquired outfielder Jason Bay from the Pirates and sent Manny to the Dodgers and outfielder Brandon Moss and RHP Craig Hansen to the Pirates in a three-team deal. While I think we should've got more then a decent outfielder out of all we gave up.......I'm pretty content with the trade.
It was evident he didn't want to play here the past few weeks and the mood in the clubhouse was definitly affected--and if the clubhouse is in a funk sometimes it carries over onto the field of play (wednesday night anyone?). Bay is a pretty good outfielder, and he is a decent hitter. He won't make up for Manny's bat in the order and won't make others fear him as bad-but at least he getds on base. At .282 Bay's hitting better then like half of the Sox,and has 64 RBI-making him 2nd on the team in that category. So he's a pretty good hitter,but like I said can't make up for what Manny brought.
Don't get me wrong,I love Manny. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have those trophys.......but now he was just another distraction the team didn't need,and it festered. I appreciate what he did and am happy he'll eventually go intot he hall of fame (anyone wanna disagree?) but this deal is good not only for the team,but for him too.

So when it's all said and done I'm happy we got the trade done and think Bay will do pretty good. So what do you guys think?

Another Little Game

For fun,I'm wondering what everyones favorite call is (on the radio or TV). It can be from any sport and be from any time. If you wanna list more then one go ahead.

For fun,later on I may do a video including these calls in.
I'm already working on one with just strictly Boston sports calls.

A little game

If you could go back in time and attend any 5 sporting events - all time, anywhere in the world - what would they be?

Don't look at others' answers before you post. Write the first five you can think of off the top of your head.

Official Navs blog launches

This blog isn't going anywhere. I'll still be here, updating, talking about the wide world of baseball, the Navs, and Spirit alums.

But if you want in-depth coverage of the North Shore Navigators, my three fellow Sports Information interns and I have launced the Official North Shore Navigators blog.

That will be your source for inside information, stats, news, updates, and discussion about the Navs. Check us out!

CanAm final scores

Wow. The Pride rallied back from a 6-0 3rd inning deficit to score a 10th inning walkoff win over the Rox. Luis Rodriguez hit the walkoff single off of Jamie Baker. Hooray old friends!

Speaking of old friends, Alex Trezza, BJ Weed & co. smashed Gary Galvez and the Sussex Skyhawks, 14-5.

Finally, Ottawa was rudely welcomed to the league, making 6 errors in their home debut and falling 6-0 to the Jackals.

Can-Am Opening Night live post

I'll be checking in on CanAm games from time to time...

Looks like old friend Gary Galvez is starting for the Skyhawks, and he's picked up right where he's left off as Worcester is up 3-0 on Sussex in the first inning.

BJ Weed & Alex Trezza are on Worcester's roster but I haven't heard whether or not they are in the starting lineup.

Old nemesis Hideki Nagasaka is starting for Nashua against Brockton.

Atlantic City and Quebec got rained out up at Le Stade.

It's almost Navs time

We had the first full staff meeting at Fraser Field. All the fun stuff is underway: contacting media outlets, getting the name out there, getting the mascot out there, doing ads and promotions.

What I can tell you is that the Navs have put together a committed and talented staff, the park looks great, and everyone is excited for the season to start.

I'll fill you in on more details when I get the chance.
