Droppings from the Nest, August 19th

Well, Spokane returned the favor last night–beating the Hawks 6-1. It was a pretty uneventful game for the Hawks besides DJ Fitzgerald’s homer…his second of the season.

So without further ado, let’s get to those droppings:

The Idaho Press-Tribune notes how the Indians evened the series against the Hawks last night.
The Idaho Statesman looks at the end of Boise’s 4-game winning streak in a recap of last night’s game.
Former Hawk, Brett Jackson is featured on InsidetheIvy.com…unfortunately you have to have a subscription to read the entire article, but hey their coverage is worth it.
I’ve added a couple more articles to the homepage: an interesting look at the diets of international players and then a piece about the origin of the Hawks theme song.

Tonight should be a fairly busy night at the ballpark. Not only is it our Family Feast Night featuring $1 popcorn, ice cream sandwiches, hot dogs and sno cones, local boy Braden Tullis (out of Timberline HS) is the starting pitcher for Spokane. We have already sold out of our 1B Res section, so it you want tickets run down the the box office fast!

Droppings from the Nest, August 15th-18th

It seems like towards the end of any long homestand I get bogged down with other things and my blog suffers. So naturally I have some catching up to do–in more ways than one.

I know I’ve been promising some great video from the past week and I’ve been working through some technical difficulties to get it up and ready. Just bear with me a little longer–I only have one more video to load and edit.

Now let’s rehash those droppings I’ve missed:

The Wall Street Journal looks at the rise of international baseball and chooses our very own Hak-Ju Lee to profile.
The Idaho Statesman has had some great stories these past few days, including a recap of the Hawks win in which AquaSox pitcher, manager were ejected and benches cleared, a feature on our GM Todd Rahr, a look at former Hawks manager Steve McFarland’s evaluation of current manager Casey Kopitzke, a examination of lefties in baseball, a recap of the Hawks longest game of the year, their preparation for the arrival of Spokane and last night’s first win of the series,
The Idaho Press-Tribune also ran some great stories this weekend: the Press-Tribune looks at Friday’s benches-clearing game, talk to some of the guys about their rare off-day on Sunday, Spokane Indians pitcher and former Timberline pitcher Braden Tullis’ return to Boise, and the Hawks’ fundraiser for MS tonight.
Zach Wolken of KTVB Channel 7 recaps last night’s 5-1 win over the Sopkane Indians and Tom Scott talks about Hak-Ju Lee’s feature in the Wall Street Journal in his blog Scott Slant.
