A couple of photos from my friend/colleague Meg, who works across from the Garden:

Tonight, for the first time in a very long time, I drove down to Hadlock Field to catch a Sea Dogs game. Other than seeing my friend Dave (who I can see without driving to Portland), and my co-worker Colin, it turned out to be a wasted trip. Oh, I did show that the old arm can still dial it up ......

Another cold Monday night at Hadlock, but not as cold as the prior one, thank goodness. It was, however, a long, sluggish affair for the Sea Dogs, who lost to the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 9-3 to end their long winning streak.

There are lots of things going on right now, but the baseball season has started again and I'm back to scoring Sea Dogs games - albeit in a reduced capacity this time around.

My first venture to Hadlock Field came Monday night, a 5-4, 11-inning affair with the Original Story: http://joesseablog.blogspot.com/2008/04/ba...

The Red Sox rode strong pitching and a solid offense to their second World Series Championship in four years. The feeling throughout the season was that the offense in general failed to live up to expectations. Was that true? We here at the SeaBlog have a projection system that we call the Mo......

About two feet short, to be more precise. That's how close "L'il Papi" Luis Jimenez came to emulating his namesake and sending the Sea Dogs to victory on Friday night. Jimenez hit a towering fly ball on a 3-2 pitch from Akron Aeros pitcher Tony Sipp to the deepest part of Hadlock Field, only to s......

It's the season of good cheer, and what better thing to do than an exercise that will surely require some charity from the audience. That exercise is called Evaluating the Monkee. Prior to the season, I do performance predictions for the Boston Red Sox based on a simple spreadsheet that I develop......

The above link takes you to an article at Minorleaguebaseball.com that talks about a two-week "Prospect School" that helps top prospects prepare for their life one day as a major leaguer. For a few guys (Hansen, Pauley, Gabbard, Murphy), some will be redundant as they have all spent time in Bosto......

In reviewing my predictions for the 2006 season for the Sox, I was off by quite a bit for both the offense and the pitching. On the offensive side, the Sox created 66 fewer runs than the Monkee projected. That's about 6.5 wins. The pitching missed by about 6 wins as well. Overall, the Sea Blo......

A few weeks ago, I reviewed my preseason forecasts for the Red Sox batters. I also did a forecast for the pitching prior to the season, and I suppose I ought to review that as well. The major problem here is that The Hardball Times has once again changed its pitching metrics, including one that I......
