::EDIT::

Ducks, this is your manager speaking. I will be up north in beautiful meadville this weekend. I need someone to represent the Ducks at this meeting. I also have some cash and checks at my house that need to get to Joe. It would be nice if someone who will be at the scrimmage tomorrow can take them to him. I can leave them in an envolope in my mailbox if that helps.

Ducks BBQ 8/29/2009 {EDIT BETTER DIRECTIONS}

Uncategorized

After the scrimmage against the Bulldogs, the Ducks’ BBQ will be held at my place in Swissvale. All are invited, even Yoda.

My Place


My place is actually on Milligan Way, but it is called Buzzard Way on Google maps. When you turn onto Milligan Way, bear to the right and go to the bottom of the hill. You will come out into a clearing with three buildings, mine is the one on the right. From the front of the building you can buzz the door or just yell at me on my patio.

I’m getting the basics, burgers, dogs, and brews. If you want some finer cuts of meat or liquor you can bring your own. Any beverage or food donations are appreciated, and any monetary donations will be contributed to Ducks’ Charities. Leave a comment saying if your coming and if your bringing any people so I have an idea of how much I need to get. If this isn’t a good day we can move the BBQ to a different date.

Duel.

Anyone else who wants to get in some work before fall ball/labor day tourney is also welcome to attend to help fill out the teams, and to watch the highly anticipated Yoda vs. Guthrie showdown.

An additional thank you to Kirk Gibson for being the catalyst of the Erie trip, and for not taking that job in CT which will allow him to remain a Duck next season.

SomeoneElse can recap this

2009 Ducks Baseball
The ducks split a double header with the Erie league champs, and lost 3-2 to a combo of two teams on Sunday. It was a good tune-up for the Labor Day Tournament, which will now probably only feature 4 teams, all from our league which is unfortunate.

McCray and Fago went yard.
KT and Casale had at least 5 hits apiece.
Coby and TC had key hits to spark rallies and drive in runs.

it was a great weekend of baseball.
the ducks thank the teams in Erie for the free baseball.
this recap doesn’t count someone else please recap.

Ducks Rumor Mill

Uncategorized

I have just received information from an inside source that the South Oakland Ducks of the North Side have just signed former NABA 2008 MVP Fago to a contract for the series in Erie and the Labor Day tourney. Sources also say that he is very close to signing a contract to be a Duck during the 2010 NABA season.

When asked about this possible signing Manager TC Jones said, “Since we lost 11 Ducks from the 2009 team we are actively looking for players of Fago’s caliber to fill holes left by departing players. A player like Fago would fill up both a hole in our infield and a hole in our pitching rotation.”

This Weekend – Edit GWIN

Uncategorized

If you plan on staying with me in Meadville this weekend and need a ride in the Duck Mobile let me know ASAP. I plan on leaving after work, so hopefully around 6PM.

Big Chuck Jones said that he plans on cooking a feast and providing brews.


If you don’t need a ride but need directions to my house also let me know ASAP.

Finally if you havent giving me the money for the tourney yet bring it this weekend to Erie.

I have inside information that YODA will be at our games this weekend.

Ben and Rob Swanger are leaving for Meadville friday as well, and can provide transport for two more Ducks.
