Changed it up a little on Facebook…we had (and still have for now) a page where you would be the BlueClaws friend. But we’re switching it up…I created a new Fan Page this morning, so if you wouldn’t mind, head over and be a fan of the Lakewood BlueClaws (click here).

Thanks.

Jimmy Rollins after the game yesterday:

“How hard is it to kill this team? Hopefully it’s like trying to run over an armadillo. Just roll up and put our shells on. And after the car goes over us, we unfold and walk away.”

Look who we found…

Funny Tweet from Bill Simmons, ESPN’s The Sports Guy, a did-hard Boston sports fan:  Would I give up a Pats Super Bowl this season to see the Yanks choke away the ’09 World Series? (Thinking) Yes. Yes I would.

Win tickets to 2010 BlueClaws Opening Day (4/16 when we raise the 2009 SAL Championship banner). All you have to do…predict the score from game three of the World Series.

Send it over either in the comments here, on Twitter or Facebook.

1. Winner, 2. Score.

That’s it, good luck!

We’ll be at game three so back Sunday w/ recap and random thoughts.

First off, thanks to everyone who enjoyed Bruce Springsteen Night on Saturday. We raised over $3200 for the Danny Federici Memorial Foundation through the BruceClaws jersey auction (Jason Knapp, Jim Murphy, and Travis Mattair’s jerseys led the way). Some photos are up at the BlueClaws Facebook page.

One more reason to follow us on Twitter…last week we had a special contest when the BlueClaws were in Kannapolis. We asked people to guess the number of baseballs that would be used in the top half of the first inning, and closest, without going over (Price Is Right scoring) would win four tickets to Sunday’s BlueClaws game. So congrats to our two winners, Jim and Jake.

As a quick note, Sunday’s 5:05 game is the annual BlueClaws autograph session. The gates will open at 3:45, or 15 minutes earlier than they normally would. The autograph session will take place on the field from 3:45 to 4:30 pm that day.

For those of you that have not seen the event on the BlueClaws Facebook page, we are doing a special promotion for Wednesday’s game…Buy one ticket and get one free. This offer is only valid on Wednesday, July 2nd at 7:05 pm!

Also, don’t forget to follow the BlueClaws on Twitter and our friend Buster on Twitter as well.

As noted here and on our Twitter page yesterday, BlueClaws pitcher Tyler Cloyd tweeted last night’s game from the dugout. Some highlights…

well going into the top of the 2nd.. tied at 0. knapp retires the side in order. and grado outs a shout out to his wife. (That should make Tim Gradoville happy)

shoebirds get one in the bottom of the 3rd. knapp struggles a little bit but he will come back. the donkey just needs to settle down. (He called Jason Knapp “The Donkey”)

have a feeling the blueclaws are going to go off in this inn for at least two. tune in for the results (This did not pan out as predicted)

There will be more in-game Tweeting, and thanks Tyler!

He doesn’t talk, but now he can Tweet…As announced for the first time earlier this afternoon in the BlueClaws weekly e-newsletter, mascot and the team’s biggest fan Buster is now on Twitter. You can follow him here.

Buster will be Tweeting about his favorite team, share pictures of himself and fans, let you know where he will be throughout the community, and much more. Be sure to give a follow and check back frequently.

There you have it. Buster is on Twitter. Never thought I’d say that.
