My boy has the coolest name in the organization! He's now a Cyclone...
Yesterday tweeted: "Got a hot dog from the original Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs"
When in Coney Island, ya do as the Coney's do!

Colby batting a n-t-s .400 this short season. I also learned just now
that we share a birth date which is cool coincidence.

Wouldn't that make him a bit old to be a prospect?

This guy just got called out on strikes. Wearing no. 3

My boy made history yesterday being part of the first triple play
in Brooklyn professional baseball since 1949.

Saw my boy today in person for the first time. Couldn't get a very good picture as
I only had my phone in tow. Colby and Peter Alonso were really the only two BC guys
on the field today that struck me as having a professional-baseball look about them.
They both had good games and two RBI each I think.

Edgardo Alfonzo brought out the lineup card and I asked KB to guess who he was
while he had his back to us with the umps. She got a kick out of it being him and
he acknowledged her shout out to him when he returned to the dugout.

Side note: Does anyone recall hearing Woodmansee verbally pronounced? In my head
I pronounce it the way it looks -- wood-man-see. The Renegades PA guy was pronouncing
it more like wood-mans(z) or something. He was a goof-ball and I don't know if it was just
him or if it's not pronounced phonetically.

Not a lot of news on my adoptee (a word that Chrome strangely tells me doesn't
exist) except that he leads the 22-22 Cardiac Clones* with a team leading .291 AVG,
17 R and 18 RBI. Not too shabby.

Colby did not start in last night's Penn League All-Star Game but went 1-3 and
scored a run in the South's team victory. Colby was joined by two other Cyclones
RHP Harol Gonzalez (1 IP) and 1B Pete Alonso DNP). Another story about the All-Star
Game can be found in this Poughkeepsie Journal report.

Since our last report two weeks ago, Woodmansee leads the Cyclones in G-46, AB-181,
H-49, RBI-22, TB-64 (tied with Alonso), and unfortunately SO-59. His AVG has dropped
to .271 (4th).

Colby going to St Lucie on 9/18 with the others to Instructional League.

[Frayed Knot]

Where he can pal around with Tebow!!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Yeah reading a few things here and there, he and Timmy may have a pretty
high Sim Score off-the-field.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Guess my kid drink the kool-aid...

Having been around him on and off the field, he's an awesome guy, and I have nothing but respect for him and his pursuit of baseball!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Colby to St. Lucie, fill shoes of some guy named Rosario...

Found a blurb that Colby played in two games before a torn core muscle.
Sounds painful, not much interweb coverage on him/it.

He did tweet that Stanley Cup Finals > NBA Final... but, like, no duh....

Looks like Colby (aka "Dynasty II") is going to be mostly repeating Brooklyn.

[Edgy MD]

Too many of those Nathan's Franks. Colby got released.
