When are the Winter Meetings?

I have no idea.
The bulldogs might know.


  • Depo is most likely going to represent the Ducks at the meeting.
  • Who wants to set up the 2nd annual golf outing?
  • The Ducks are still looking for motivated individuals to take on some administrative duties. Such as pestering businesses for sponsorship money, arranging fund raisers, taking on some of the blogging duties, and serving as treasurer.
  • Doesn't doing all that sound fun?
  • The agenda of the winter meetings will include discussing realignment and other exciting issues, I'm sure.
  • The pro's and cons of splitting into A, AA and rookie divisions have been beaten to death.
  • I'm contemplating moving the blog to wordpress.
  • There are conflicting reports about the start of East Bound and Down Season 2.
  • Free rubber duck to anyone who can confirm a start date.

Any left handed pitchers, or natural center fielders who want to join the 2010 Ducks are more than welcome.

I have no idea what our team will look like next season.

Quack.

hello there

BULLET POINTZ! out of no where...
  • I wouldn't wish the insanity that I've had in my life over the last four months on the Rebels.
  • I got a kenny fucking powers t-shirt for christmas, which I'm basically going to wear as my jersey when we play the black sox. I'll get a #4 screen printed on it.
  • i'm in grad school.
  • One day I will teach your kids English. This could make the ducks blog home of the most over qualified blogger in the pgh NABA.
  • That is until dr. venkman takes over on the bulldogs site, which i hear has been active and awesome as ever.
  • Depo is busy doing all kinds of crazy admin shit.
  • South Oakland will most likely win the championship this summer.
  • what happened to 2009?

happy holiday's

you tube city:



Got me confused...

John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin is making the most interesting music of any former member at this point.


I'll be blogging about the new season of east bound and down as a lead in to the 2010 season.
Time permitting.
anyone still checking the site?

Fall Ball Recap Week 3 & 3rd Annual Turkey Bowl Early Announcement

As far as I can tell the Red Tide and Green Machine are the only teams to see any action this weekend as heavy rains from the night before left fields unplayable. The matchup between the Tide and Machine was delayed until Sunday. Both teams worked several hours on Saturday in an attempt to make the field playable. Eventually it was deemed too dangerous to play and decided to pick it up on the day after.

On Sunday, neither team could find a way to score a run in the first game until, in the third inning, the game was moved from Jon Herb to Pie Traynor since another team had a permit for Herb. After some human ingenuity at its finest, Pie Traynor was ready to be played on with some help from my pick up and a plank of wood with nails driven through it.
Not my truck.
Eventually the machine would score the only run of the game and win 1-0.

The second game proved to be just as exciting but with more scoring. The highlight of the game was an inside the park grand slam to put the Machine up by four in the top of the 5th. The Tide responded with their own 4 runs and eventually won the game by scoring in the top of the 7th. Highlight for the Tide was in the top of the sixth when Martin threw a laser from center to gun down the go ahead run.

Duck's notes:
  • Jesse crushed the ball on Sunday.
  • I had two sacrifice bunts.
Third Annual Turkey Bowl

This is an early announcement of the famed Turkey Bowl to be held on Nov. 21. Everyone is invited as long as the Bulldogs don't piss in my living room. More info to come later on.
