Nine Weeks into the Off Season

It’s been roughly nine weeks since the last Ironpig homegame. Not too much going on.

Yes, I’ll take the hit for messing up the Kerry Wood info in the last post. My transaction source listed it as new and current and I didn’t bother to research further on that. I usually don’t spend too much time thinking about the Yankees {Spit}

So since the end of the season we’ve had the World Series viewing party… too bad it was the Giants and Rangers. I still have a gut feeling there was some sort of fix in for the Giants. Yes, they have a good team, but the Rangers folded way too easily and Cliff Lee (feel free to comment on this) usually doesn’t have two terrible starts in a row. At least the Yankees {Spit} didn’t win again.

I’ve only filled my car with gas once since the season ended. There is a good reason for this and that reason is Netflix. Anyone who has Netflix can tell you the online option is very addictive. I was able to set it up to show movies on demand directly to my TV. Not an advertisement or plug, just saying that for like $9 I have been keeping myself from watching the clock spin until April.

Also, haven’t shaved the beard I started on the last day of the season. Getting a little long these days. Wondering if I’ll keep it until the first game. Maybe I’ll shave if the Pigs break the .500 barrier. Although if I did that I might end up looking like a member of ZZ Top by mid season.

Also want to mention that tomorrow is the 235th birthday of my beloved Marine Corps. Happy Birthday to all my brothers and sisters out there.

So that’s where I am right now. How are you all coping with the off season?

Putting a plug out for a fellow Ironpig’s fan today.

Chuck contacted me about letting you all know about his custom made clocks. He was referred to us from the Ironpigs and can do customized and/or personalized work as well.

His email is ccwoodwork4@gmail.com

Feel free to contact him if interested.

Moyer, Dobbs and More Importantly to us.. Hoover are Free Agents

Read this first on Philly.com’s website, credit goes to them.

Doesn’t look like Moyer will be back, but it does mention that he may have to accept a minor league deal to keep in the organization. That would be good for us to see him here at CCP. Might help our other pitchers out with advice as well. He would be a nice addition from my viewpoint. Look out Rod Nichols…

Hoover I would like to see stick around. I always liked him. You can often see him playing ball with kids on the field after Sunday games.

Because I have Nothing Else to Say Today

Listening to Larry Bowa, Mike Schmidt, David Cash, Greg Luzinski and Garry Maddox sing is about as bad as watching Ryan Howard strike out looking to end the season. Enjoy this tune from the year I was born.

New Ironpig Online Store

Looks like the Ironpig’s have a new online store. A definate upgrade from the previous site but insignificant to me.

The opportunity to visit The Coke and see the park is most of the reason I ever visit the team store over at Coca Cola Park in the first place.

Tomorrow is the invitation only World Series viewing party at the park. (For those curious, all season ticket holders are said to have been invited)

I will most likely be there. Just to experience the atmosphere one last time this year. What can I say.. I love that place.
