Cleaning out the Inbox

More cleaning out the inbox as we approach the midway point of the week.

I had forgotten to do a reviewing the tape last week of the Seahawks win over the Bears,I hope to have time to watch the tape tomorrow of their win over the Cardinals that gave the Hawks first place in the West.If Seattle can win in Oakland this week,they look to be in pretty solid shape in a possible playoff run....

The Hagerstown Suns finally (albeit quietly) released their 2011 schedule and looking at it,I would wager that the new owners might not be thrilled with their lot for the season.
The Suns get a nine game homestand in April,which is the hardest time of the season to draw crowds and will be the only Suns games at the Muni for the month.

The other rough break for the Suns is that they get neither of the best drawing teams as one of the two teams that make three visits to the Hub City.
Lakewood (Phillies) is usually a three visit team and remain so,but the other for this year is Lexington (Astros),while Delmarva (Orioles) makes two visits and West Virginia (Pirates) make just one.
The Suns might be getting the rookie owners blues,but this schedule isn't helping very much for 2011.

Battlin Bob sends us this link to some of the improvements to the Muni.
The improvements to the field and facility look to be a good start the needed facelift of the aging stadium and here is to future improvements as well....

I normally tend to disagree with Rick Reilly,but his comments on James Harrison hit home.
"Steelers coach Mike Tomlin defended Harrison, saying he's a "model" for young players to imitate. Oh, yeah, he's a peach. Fined $5,000 for slamming Vince Young into the ground. Fined $5,000 for unnecessary brutality against a Cincinnati Bengal. Had to go to anger management and undergo psychiatric counseling after being charged with assault on his girlfriend. Owned a pit bull that bit his son, the boy's mom and his masseuse. When's he running for Congress?"

ESPN's John Buccigross offers an interesting take on the state of New York area hockey and the three teams varying pros and cons.
Well written and fair to all three teams in my opinion...

Sorry to hear of the passing of Alexander Anderson at the age of 90.Anderson was the creator of the original Rocky and Bullwinkle characters that were the stars of the animated series that was produced by Jay Ward.
