Thoughts and pictures of my local minor league baseball team the New York Penn League Connecticut Tigers; a Detriot farm team. We'll still be looking at former Navigators/Defenders players along the way....

Big Bad John.....as John Bowker knocks in 5 runs


on a pair of sac flys and a three run jack to ice the game for GB as the Defs beat NH 8-1. Simon Klink added a solo homer. Dayton Buller with a sac fly and a Randy Ruiz RBI single to rounded out the RBIs. GB finally with run support goes 7 IP giving up an unearned run, five hits and 6 Ks. Joe Bateman wrapped up the last two innings. Connecticut does a number on the FisherCats taking 4 of 5.

Misc fan notes: Long lines outside as folks were cashing in their vouchers. Nice crowd of 4000+.

Meaningless personal stats: I ended up seeing the same number of games this year as last year: 47. That does not include this seasons's All-Star Game. I went 20-27. The Chris Curry jersey top went 7-6 however. Oscar Montero's 2006 blue jersey went 1-0 and Geno's 2007 patriotic jersery goes 0-1.

Quick chat with Tony Scott on the way out. Tony is very upbeat about next season.
This front office group along with the game staff, ushers, etc. were great thru-out the year. Thank you all!

Hondo, Mrs. Hondo and Lance be well and happy; missing you guys already. God Bless--Greg

A few bulbs have been blown out for a while. Maybe they could fix them along with the analog clock in the off season.

The Arizona Fall League has the rosters out and Nate is listed although Velez is not and I think he's going. Velez is going to Fresno by the way according to the bulletin. Nick P. and Brian A. also listed.

Brooks m. goes tonight in Bowie, Jaret Wright is throwing one inning for Bowie on a rehab assignment.


Keep up the good work Greg.
