02/13/2010 Managers Meeting

Uncategorized

Notes from the managers meeting.

  • There will be definitely 12 teams in the league this year; possibly 19; realistically 14.
  • scheduling@pittsburghnaba.com
  • That is the email address to contact both Joe and myself with any questions, concerns, or announcements related to scheduling and fields
  • League fees for each team are $1300 + umpires + field permit. Umpires fees are $1300 for the season, so the total amount for each team is $2600 + your field permit.

Notes for the Ducks.

  • No checks less than $75. Checks made out to Pittsburgh NABA sent to Ben’s address below.
  • The Ducks are looking into opening a non-profit bank account. Anybody with any information for me that will help me with this let me know. Les, Guth? Did you guys do this for PCB. If so let me know.
  • Pitt NABA Registration. DUCKS PLAYERS! Click on that link and print out the document. Fill it out and send it with your checks to Ben. If you have already sent your deposit to Ben then don’t worry about it, we will have you fill it out at the first practice.

Any questions let Ben or myself know. I am pumped about this season. Can’t wait to get back on the field and of course the infamous Ducks house partys. Going to start practice as soon as this snow is gone. Until then stay in shape and stay safe.

I’m coaching this season.
And we are going to win the championship.
No bullshit.

Roster Updates and shit will be reflected in the blog as the money comes in and the contracts are signed.

Jones and Depot are deputized assistant coaches.

help with admin stuff is greatly appreciated.

I hope we have a field already.

WOO!

My first priority is to find a new coach for next season.
I’m out of my mind, clearly.

Send me your money.

Perennial All-Star and League MVP candidate, FLO, was on fire in the discussion thread on the bulldogs blog.

solid arguments, much more civilized than the ones in the Black Sox dugout.

If there is a split, two divisions would probably be enough.
The important thing is anyone who wants to play can do so and have a good experience. I like potential for Hoosiers-esque upsets I guess. A and AA, 24 games 4 and 12 (6Wales, 6 Patrick) teams in each division. top two in A play a 3 game series for a playoff spot.
Division winners in AA are seeded 1 and 2 and the next five teams make the playoffs.
7AA and one A team in an 8 team bracket.

the 4A teams play each other 3 times, and each AA team once.

Whomever follows Graff into the Comissioner’s seat in a year or two is going to have a tough act to follow. Nothing but class and work ethic. I don’t always agree with him but until I win the lottery and can do nothing but devote my time to NABA baseball writing year-round, I will not be able to do his job.

He is also making it snow right now to thwart Larry in his attempts to jog, just like he forced rain outs last season to spite the Gray Bats.

Joe and Larry battle it out over the weather

Ducks, Quit being gay and get your money to TC.

Seriously, send him a check or your foodstamp card or something.
first deposit is due in a week, I think.

I went sledding Tuesday night. It was awesome.

quack.

Three Way Tie

Uncategorized


It was a three way tie in the search for the party responsible for this atrocity. I feel like only Yoda could have pulled something off this complex, including the rigging of this poll.

In other news, I lost my job yesterday; so if Joe or TC need anything done, I find myself with a lot of free time.

Go Saints.

Gotta pull for NO in this one.

I’m just as excited for the Pens/Caps game today, really.

Olympic Hockey starts in like five minutes.
Not a bad day to be stuck in the house.
All this snow makes it hard to think about baseball.

Ducks, Get in touch with Jones if you’re playing this season

quack.
