Droppings from the Nest, Last of the Season

With the end of the season now behind us, it’s only fitting to do one final sweep of the droppings. So without hesitation…

The Idaho Statesman recaps the Hawks final game of the season (a win!) and Chris Langrill sits down with the coaching staff in reflection of the season.
The Idaho Press-Tribune notes the season’s positive ending.
Troy Oppie with KBCI Channel 2 talks with GM Todd Rahr about the hopes for stadium renovations or a new facility in the future.
Zach Wolken with KTVB Channel 7 looks at the Hawks’ last game of the season.
Don’t forget to check out the most recent video footage by our HAM Insiders…specifiically SS Hak-Ju Lee serenading the crowd at the Booster Club/Host Family Farewell picnic on Sunday. Priceless!

Personally, I’m still in shock that the season is over. I have yet to collect all of my thoughts and emotions and put them into one final blog post about this fabulous summer. Stay tuned!

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.
