It feels slightly counter-intuitive to say this, but I love gamedays!  Yes, gamedays mean 14 hour days.  Yes, gamedays mean eating lunch in my office.  Yes, gamedays often mean running around like a chicken with my head cut off.  But I love it! 

I like the immediacy of gamedays–the adrenaline rush.  It’s the closest thing to actually playing baseball I can get.  I still get butterflies; I still get excited about the game.  I guess what I’m trying to say is–I am so glad the boys are back in town!  Good thing I feel this way because we have eight games ahead of us.

On to the (minimal) droppings:

• The Idaho Statesman recaps last night’s 3-2 loss to Vancouver.
• The Idaho Press-Tribune also has a wrap of the Hawks’ road trip-ending loss.
• Catcher Matt Williams was mentioned in Duke SID’s All-Star Break Report. (And Hawks photographer Scott McDaniel gets the story’s picture).

*That’s another reason why I like it when the guys are back–there are more droppings to talk about.
