Nudan,



When you have Ken Hambleton covering your team for the LJS, expect as little effort as possible. Brent Wagner has done a great job covering the Stars this year. Put him on the 'dogs beat! He has a Stars blog and keeps it up to date. I would bet that Kenny H doesn't even know what a blog is. At least he can write a bunch of "funny" columns using sports cliches. He hasn't written one in about a week, so he's due.

I think it was kind of assumed that Bryan would follow his playing career with coaching and then possibly taking over management duties with the team. I had never heard that to be fact, though. The blame for the playoff losses can be laid at the feet of many. If this is true, it reflects poorly on the organization. Bryan played hard, was out in front defending teammates if benches cleared, and treated fans with kindness and respect. I remember him making a running, diving catch in RF in St Joe in 2006 in extra innings in a game that meant nothing since the team had already wrapped up a playoff spot. The reception from his teammates as he returned to the dugout showed me that he truly was the "captain". I was reminded of the realities of indy baseball when my daughter and I were down by the player's tunnell after a game getting autographs. Jim Haller and Jim Allen were keeping Jason Howerton from entering the tunnel after informing him that he had been released after he had just pitched a couple innings in a relief appearance. The look on Jason's face told me all I needed to know about what these players face trying to make a living playing a game that they love. I know from a couple of sources that Bryan has visited this site in the past and I want to wish him the best in whatever his future holds. I would like to see him in 'Dogs uniform for years to come, but I guess I'm selfish and don't understand independent baseball (as NL fan has accused me of in the past).
