http://philliesfiles.blogspot.com/2003_08_01_archive.html
View From the 700 Level. My thoughts and ramblings about the Phillies and baseball in general. Friday, August 29, 2003. On a lighter note. There were plenty of articles this morning about Bowa's blow-up yesterday. But Frank Fitzpatrick, from the Inquirer, had a rather humorous suggestion for fixing the Phillies: Fab Five. Fans, this is a must-read. Links to this post. Road trip. I think the outburst was called for, don't you? This team left home on a five-game winning streak. They went into Milwaukee...

Defiantly Dutch: January 2015
http://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. The Dutchmen, one-time overnight sensations, need to become hip today. So this is what I originally wrote as the first graph of this blog entry last Sunday, and would have appeared as the first graph of this blog if I’d managed to post it Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday:. Good thing I didn’t post it. Because Wednesday night’s 100-78 loss to William and Mary was infinitely suckier than the suckiest bunch of sucks that have ever sucked. Wrong again. I could go on, and post ever...

Defiantly Dutch: Nobody asked me, but…here’s how Hofstra can leave the CAA & keep the football program
http://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2009/05/nobody-asked-me-butheres-how-hofstra.html
Monday, May 11, 2009. Nobody asked me, but…here’s how Hofstra can leave the CAA and keep the football program. We'll definitely need to update this logo. The last conference Hofstra left behind didn’t benefit a bit from the departure. It didn’t do the America East any good for Hofstra to leave and take Delaware, Drexel and Towson along for the ride following the 2000-01 school year. Those four teams combined to win nine of the preceding 10 men’s basketball championships. Never expecting it would theoreti...

Defiantly Dutch: We don’t sleep, we dream
http://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2015/03/we-dont-sleep-we-dream.html
Sunday, March 8, 2015. We don’t sleep, we dream. Well, it’s too late to turn back now. It was one thing to get in the car Friday afternoon and drive roughly 227 miles over nearly five interminable hours, all the while finding promising signs on the radio that made us imagine what it’d be like to have to figure out a way to get back to Baltimore if the Flying Dutchmen made it to Monday night. Have I mentioned we have to go back Sunday night? I’ll save that story. It’s a good one). On both ends of the cour...

Defiantly Dutch: Weekend proves gap between football, basketball is big—and getting bigger
http://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2009/11/weekend-proves-gap-between-football.html
Monday, November 16, 2009. Weekend proves gap between football, basketball is big—and getting bigger. To be a fan of the Flying Dutchmen basketball program this weekend was to be as excited about what lies ahead as what just happened. To be a fan of the entire athletic department is also to ponder what was revealed in an 18-hour span Friday and Saturday and how it specifically symbolized the giant gap between basketball and football. There was no money to be made and no exposure to be had for Hofstra and...

Defiantly Dutch: How many dominoes will fall now that Northeastern has dropped football?
http://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-many-dominoes-will-fall-now-that.html
Monday, November 23, 2009. How many dominoes will fall now that Northeastern has dropped football? What school will be the next to hang up the helmets for good? If you’re like me and passed up the Flying Dutchmen football game at Northeastern nine days ago, you missed out on the final home game in Huskies history. Northeastern confirmed the rumors flying around on message boards last night when it announced the school is dropping football, effective immediately. The Boston Globe has a story about it here.

Defiantly Dutch: December 2014
http://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 1, 2014. For Chrebet, immortality was just a short walk away. Wayne Chrebet began his professional football career in the spring of 1995 by walking the few hundred feet that separated Colonial Square, his dormitory at Hofstra, from the Jets’ facility located just beyond the Physical Fitness Center. But it didn’t take Chrebet nor his former Hofstra teammates long to realize he might be walking his way right into the NFL. Hoping for it, but nobody really knows.”. 8217;” Shannon said&...

Defiantly Dutch: Of Shaka, softball and sinister selection committees
http://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2015/05/of-shaka-softball-and-sinister.html
Friday, May 15, 2015. Of Shaka, softball and sinister selection committees. The Western Athletic Conference (file photo). Six weeks ago last night, Shaka Smart left VCU for Texas. This is presented to you not for its newsworthiness—unless you were stuck under a rock for the last seven weeks, in which case, hey, Shaka Smart left VCU for Texas. This is not to denigrate James Madison or declare the Dukes didn’t deserve to host. It’s actually nice to see an NCAA Tournament selection committee...The Dutchwome...

Minor League Braves Blog
http://minorbraves.blogspot.com/2003_10_01_archive.html
Minor League Braves Blog. A blog devoted to the Atlanta Braves' minor-league system. and some other stuff thrown in for fun. Top Minor League Sites. Monday, October 13, 2003. I also have the same theory about spring training and a player's first season in the minors. Which possibly demonstrates a lack of creativity on my part. After having played in 6 games, Richard (sometimes Richie) Lewis. Is having similar success: .429/.500/.786 in his first 14 ABs. 135 ERA and 1.20 WHIP) are also cruising along.

Defiantly Dutch: Just The Facts 2015: Going 0-2 against a tourney foe
http://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2015/03/just-facts-2015-going-0-2-against.html
Thursday, March 5, 2015. Just The Facts 2015: Going 0-2 against a tourney foe. I saw this movie at a drive-in. GOOGLE IT DRAGONS SPEAK! Hello and welcome to the 2015 edition of “Just The Facts,” the sorta-annual pre-CAA Tournament series in which I dispense with my usual witty verbiage (snort) and present to you the key data in a Hofstra-related topic. We’ll stick with the Terminator theme, since the Flying Dutchmen won a tourney game with it last year! Or, in this case, lost to twice? Drexel loses to JM...
