Hope everyone had a good time yesterday.

how did today go at nc? it must have been a long hot day in naperville. it was hot just looking outside as i sat in the a/c all day.

Jarthur..PLEASE give us some details! who showed well, who is behind this, the White Sox?

Yes, the White Sox run the show.

See the website .. www.areacodebaseball.com

The White Sox scouts make the selections .... the general consensus was that last year's group was more impressive --- less colleges were present as well.

Mariner Cup information:

2007 Mariner Cup

So jarthur, are the Sox sending kids from the Silver and Black games to this?

Yes, some kids are going to this event from the Silver & Black. I know of TJ Swank, Barrett Serrato, Danny Jimenez, & Ian Krol.

SPARQ scores of the Area Code tryout are finally posted if you go to the Illinois spot of this link: http://sparqtraining.com/ratings/ratings_events.php

A few typos especially John's.

Maybe sparq was waiting for the Sox area code team to come out...uh, nevermind I don thtink thats come out yet. Any idea when the secret code will be broken and the team released?

my understanding is that steve sabatino, austin wright, bradon kapteyn, lucas hileman, harold riggins, and dominick d'agata are representing illinois, maybe i'm wrong

Jarthur, that Mariner team is formidable to be sure. Is the White Sox roster published?

Thanks,

Mr. F. you have a PM.

Mariner Cup Game #1 (at Everett)

NW Mariners 8, White Sox 6

Game #2 at Safeco, Kyle Hunter has the hill.

At Safeco, Game #2

USA Mariners 10, White Sox 0

Game #3,

White Sox 6, NW Mariners 4

I will have more to say about this event. Off the charts with class!

Obviously today's games were held at Safeco Field. The Mariners rolled out the red carpet for all involved in this event. First two nine innings games today, with a full round of BP on the field, in/out, each player introduced before the games with live video feeds on the Jumbotron and names on the scoreboard, each pitcher had their pitch counts displayed on the upper deck along with their velos, full score book on the center field scoreboard, grounds crew groomed the field twice during the games, and the whole time the game was aired live on the Jumbotron, four umprires, and tournament tee shirts. What happened today is something I will never forget and want to thank the Seattle Mariners, the Chicago White Sox, and Baseball Northwest for a putting on a first class event. I just can't say enough.

Also the players have the opportunity to purchase a DVD footage of all the action.

JARTHUR, has Swank thrown yet?

Yes he threw yesterday twice, hit 88 one time and was living at 84-86. Very impressive. Got the save in Game #3, ended the game shattering a bat.

Jarthur, Sounds like a wonderful experience. How are you doing?

At Safeco,Game #4

White Sox 10, USA Mariners 0

Illinois kid's Heesch, Krol, and Swank all pitched in this game. Swank touched 88 again today. Team finished 2 and 2 overall. Jarek Pritchard hit a line drive home run to right field yesterday I forgot to add. Quite an impressive feat for a '09 with a wood bat in a big league ball park.

Kids had a blast and they will have some pretty interesting stories about Safeco when they get back home tonight or tomorrow.

CP, Doing well, blew my meal money at Pike's Market sending fresh sea food home to all my family members. Again hats off to Bobby Fontaine and Jim Fitzgerald with the Seattle Mariners for a first class event.

Jarthur, let me guess no seafood for me? Give me a call when you get settled in.

The Black and Silver game is June 21 at HF right? I got email, so I will be there.

Anyone attending? I'd be curious how everyone looked.
