    MLB - Red Sox coming to Oz

    Both Boston newspapers - Globe and Herald - are reporting on their websites that the Sox may now be coming to Oz in 2011 to start the regular season. If so, you'll find me at the front of the ticket queue, no matter where it's played!!

    Baseball books

    Picked up a copy of "Faithful" when in the USA in June (bought it in San Francisco). Basically, it's a fan diary written by Boston-area authors and Red Sox fans Stephen King and Stewart O'Nan about the Red Sox 2004 season - yep, the one in which the Curse was Reversed!! Really good read -...

    Pick 63 Lukas Markovic

    Good pick-up, have watched him about a dozen times with Box Hill over the past couple of years. Previously mentioned that he can play at either end, but seems more comfortable down back, where he has played as Box Hill's key defender. Prefer him deep, but can come out to CHB if necessary...

    2009 MLB Season Thread

    Martinez making a big difference with the bat as well - hit his first career Grand Slam (and the Sox first for the season) in game 161, against the Indians!!! Sox pitching rotation announced for ALDS - Lester Game 1, Beckett Game 2, Buchholz Game 3. Would prefer Dice-K going in Game 3 myself...

    SEN Team of the Year - Division 1

    Not true. Coaches can only choose four players from their team when selecting their side (each coach selects their team of the year, then the sides are tallied up to make the final side), but there's no restriction on the number of players in the final side from any one team - see the Div 4...

    Div 3 SEN Team Of The Year

    Greigy to Montrose was on the cards last year as well - about the time that Kire was slated to leave Vermont (touching on Cammo's post) - and it raises it's head again, along with a team-mate that formerly played at Montrose as well. Will depend on what happens in the next couple of weeks...

    Mark Buehrle pitches Perfect Game

    Awesome effort by Buehrle - and got a phone call from President Obama as a result!!!! How was the catch near the wall from Wise to keep the perfect game going?? Anyone beating the Rays at the moment is OK by me - especially whilst my Sox are slumping at the moment. Interesting to see if...

    2009 MLB Season Thread

    And the Streak is over..... ...Big Papi, otherwise known as David Ortiz, hit his first home run of season 2009 today, a two-run shot to centre field at Fenway Park as part of a six-run fifth-inning that included four home runs as the Red Sox took the second of a three-game series against the...

    The Bay/Manny trade

    I'll give the caveat that I am a Red Sox fan before I post opinion... ...Right now, I think it's just about split down the middle, even factoring in the recent demise of Mannywood. Ramirez was the reason that the Dodgers found themselves in the play-offs last year, and Bay has been...

    VAFA vs EFL

    For anyone interested, the game will be broadcast on 98.1FM from 2:00pm on Sunday - coverage actually starts at 12pm with the EFL vs YVMDFL Colts game, but coverage of the big game will be from 2pm...

    MLB Off-Season News & Rumours

    Looking at new signing Josh Bard to catch Wake - although last time he tried, it didn't work out that well. It will likely be either Bard, 'Tek or George Kottaras IMO. Other than that, all positives coming from Fort Myers - Papi is looking ripped, Mikey Lowell has said he's aiming to play in...

    EFL Off-Season News

    Was always on the cards. Speaking to a few Noble blokes during the year and last Friday night at Chandler Medal night, it appears that Black, at this stage, will play about 12 games throughout the year due to commitments with both Channel Seven Perth (where he works) and the Dockers (as he...

    Thanks 94.1 FM for Box Hill Hawks Radio Broadcasts.

    "Waste of space and money" based on the fact that you can't find the station on an old radio?? Perhaps you should upgrade to a digital display radio so that you can find the station properly. Personally I've had no problems with the 3WBC streaming coverage - what kind of internet connection...

    Mark Robinson's Sour Grapes

    I heard an interesting take on this yesterday, and one that I agree with 100% Did the media request an interview with Nathan Bock after Round 1 when he missed his shot at goal on the siren?? This question was asked of Mark Robinson by Mark Doran yesterday on SEN, and it was highly...

    Apology to Williamstown/Bulldogs Fans (Re: Sunday)

    Peter's pretty much spot on the mark there with what happened. I arrived to do special comments at around 1:30pm after a previous radio commitment, only to find that our broadband modem connection was down and inoperable due to a faulty SD modem card, and was quickly informed that there would...

    Williamstown v North Ballarat

    Don't normally like to pump up my own tyres, but I'm doing special comments for this game...so tune in!!! Probably won't be there until about 1:30pm myself - I host a radio showw for the Eastern Football League that doesn't finish until 12pm tomorrow (on Radio Eastern 98.1FM from 10am if...

    Jam Prospects

    Worked with them very briefly some years ago. Have you seen the people that try and sell you MatchDay raffle tickets out the front of the MCG & Telstra Dome?? They're working for Jam Prospects. When I was with them, my job was to sell raffle tickets in shopping centres on behalf of football...

    Bowden's game

    As a side note, I heard today from a pretty good source that P Bowden has signed to play with Balwyn in the Eastern Football League for season 2008, alongside former Bulldog team-mate Adam Morgan

    Melbourne's best and worst bottle shops :-)

    Braybrook Hotel had it when we had a crack back in my uni days - there's a big bottleshop at the back. Pretty sure Dan Murphy's could get it for you as well. Anything that has a flame *ant on the bottle is a sure sign of upcoming shennanigans!!

    Asian's have ruined the fish & chip industry

    If you travel a bit further, the Fish Basket in Avondale Heights (next to Coles on Milleara Road) is awesome. European owned. There's another chipper in the small arcade further up Milleara Road (near St Martin De Porres Church) that does good burgers and chips, but the rest is average.

    17 gamer membership - getting ripped off in '08?

    I'll see if I can help explain the price differential between 17 game and 11 game memberships a bit more clearly. With the 11 game membership, they allow access to Bulldog home games, so the club can then offer these at a cheaper rate for members as they receive all proceeds from the match...

    Western Border Football League

    Further to the talk about Damian Squire - received a call from my Dad last week spruiking that Portland had signed Squire - apparently he's available for the first 10 games before going overseas, but will return for the finals should Portland make them.

    Diamond Valley Footy

    So Balwyn are going to play in the Essendon league now??? Think you'll find that, since the late 1990's, when the-then Eastern Districts Football League dropped the "Districts" from their name, the Eastern Football League have been referred to as the "EFL" and that is where Balwyn are...

    EFL Div 3 Standard?

    It's not going to be a huge standard drop for you. You should do well playing in Div 3, but there were some players that came down from Division One that didn't really set the world on fire this year. We're poised to know just how much seperates the EFL and DVFL next season, with the...

    Vermont vs Noble Park - grattan stephens

    Della, Mate, I can save you some money - go up and mention Sticks' name on the gate, and it will only cost you $12!!! Seriously, though, this should be a great game - Vermont and Noble have played each other three times already this season, and they have probably been the three best games...

    Absolute Screamer

    There sure is video to it, in fact that image was taken from the video capture of the mark. Highlights of the Vermont vs Noble Park gamel, including not one but TWO huge grabs from Matt Greig, were featured on the Eastern Football Show on Channel 31 last Friday. But don't despair, those who...
