All Star Game Results
I know I haven't posted much over the last few days, but just like everyone else, I sometimes need a break. I also have two nieces and a nephew that I'm seeing for the first time in months, and they get a lot more of my attention than baseball does right now.
As far as the all-star game goes, the East won 6-2.
Unfortunately, no Silver Hawks player had a hit (Chris Owings walked), and surprisingly, neither Charles Brewer nor Eric Smith pitched. I thought both were available and I'm pretty sure the Silver Hawks told the Fort Wayne staff that they could both go an inning, but neither one was called upon.
Casey went to the game and hopefully will have some pictures to post in the next day or two. I might not be back on the blog until Friday from Great Lakes, so I can enjoy the rest of the time with my family.

Four Silver Hawks Named All-Stars
Congratulations to Matt Davidson, Chris Owings, Charles Brewer, and Eric Smith for being named Midwest League All-Stars today.
Certainly well-deserved for all of them, and hopefully they'll get a chance to showcase their skills with a big day on June 22nd in Fort Wayne.
The full story can be found on www.silverhawks.com.
Full rosters for the East and West will be linked when I see them posted somewhere.

From the Notes - May 1st
Happy Saturday! As you've probably noticed, the blog updates are less frequent on the weekend than they are during the week, largely because I try to work less hours on the weekend than I do during the week. Working 10 AM - 10 PM (or later) on Monday through Friday takes its toll on you, so I come in a little later on Saturdays. Anyhow, here are a few tidbits from today's notes:

• Mark Haley entered 2010 with 456 career victories (442 regular season, 14 postseason wins) and 375 wins for the Silver Hawks

Article on Smith
Minor League Baseball did a story on Eric Smith yesterday. You can read it here.
Somehow, Smith didn't win MWL Pitcher of the Week for this week. It went to Daniel Osterbrock of Beloit, who was 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA and 14 K's this week in 13.2 innings. Smith was 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 10 K's in 13.0 innings this week.
MLB Advanced Media selects the players of the week, and they fall in love with strikeouts sometimes. I disagree with their decision, but there's not a lot of reason to argue about it.

701 and Counting
As I went to post this entry, I noticed that I had previously posted 700 blog entries. I started this blog on March 14th, 2009, and have posted 700 times in 370 days. This is entry number 701. So if you've been reading this blog since the start, imagine how much useless information you've read about in the last year.
A few tidbits for you today:
-Mark Reynolds has signed a contract extension with the Diamondbacks. He's a former Silver Hawks infielder, a great power hitter, but really needs to cut down on the strikeouts.
-This post by Nick Piecoro talks about Jordan Norberto battling Clay Zavada for a bullpen spot, and about Eric Smith looking good in a minor league game (Smith pitched for the Silver Hawks at the end of 2009).
-Mark Haley has another blog entry up, and they actually played a game yesterday. Click here for the report, including a potential Silver Hawks player getting injured.
