Down on Thunder Road

tthunder078371.gifThe Trenton Thunder have a cool new logo and they’re the Eastern League champions.

Back in ‘95, when I was covering the Eastern League, Waterfront Park was one of my favorite places to go. They’ve waited a long time as a franchise to win.

So check out the team’s website for stories on the EL title and a bunch of new merchandise. Brian Cashman was wearing a Thunder cap at Fenway on Saturday.

    Hey all. I’ve got a question–

    Which Yankees blogs do you visit when Peter has a day off? I’m looking for a blog as good as this one, but it’s impossible!

  5. JRVJ

    Pete,

    Be sure to get an interview with Ty-Clip and Chase Wright on their winning the AA championship.

  6. JRVJ

    I go to Bronx Banter, Replacement Level Yankee Web, Riverave Blues, On the Yankee Beat (The Newsday Blog), Bats (the NY Times Blog) and Was Watching.

    Nobody beats Pete in re: the best informational blog, but I like all of the above for this or that reason.

    And dont forget the great pix at Nomaas.org

    Peter Rabbit-

    JRVJs names some solid blogs. Also check out some of our fan blogs too! We might not all have access to the players and such, but we’re fans and have a passion for writing about this team!

    I also love how Shelley’s picture is at the top of the Thunder homepage hah.

    do they have any playoffs in minors?? If so, who are they playing??? I drive thru the thunder waterfront park everyday and its about 1/2 mile from where I work.. Its a nice park though and usually gets filled up.. they were also voted the best minor league franchisee for last year..

    si.com has a good Yankees page for links to articles/blogs. Also has the starting pitchers/stats for the next game plus articles/blogs (bulletin board material) on next opponent. For some reason, neither The Journal nor the best Yankee blog (this one!) is linked there. Get your bosses on it, Pete!

  11. Clay Buchholz stole my laptop, and David Ortiz stole my cheeseburger (aka Joe)

    Was watching is good, he’s bit of a pessimist, though. Chad Jennings (Scranton beat writer) has a good blog for keeping track of Yankee prospects.

    Surviving Grady is a Red Sox blog, but the guys mix in a lot of humor. It’s fun to go there after a Sox loss.

    I’m sure Trenton is enjoying this. It’s amazing what the success of a baseball team can do for the personality of a city. It doesn’t really matter what league or how big the city is. I offer this as proof that every city should have a baseball team. I think old New York-Penn League towns like Geneva, Watertown, Utica and Elmira who have lost their teams would second that.

    My adult baseball league had their All Star Game in Waterfront Park this year. I have to tell you, this is an awesome place to watch a game in, let alone play a game in.
    Trying to jack a ball out in left field takes a lot of power with that 30 foot wall.
    Anyway, area not withstanding, it’s a beautiful ballpark.

  14. Skippy

    Undoubtedly the Thunder’s success is due to the efforts of Chase, the bat dog.

  15. R.B.

    Chase the Bat Dog doesn’t get enough PT. I was there in the first round of the playoffs and they only used him in the 1st inning. The Greensboro Grasshoppers in Class A Sally League have a batdog named Miss Babe Ruth who gets to do her thing for 3 innings.

    Congratulations Thunder on the title. But the new logo looks terrible.

  16. Joba62

    Baseball America wrote a nice story this past week on the evolution of the Thunder logo. After looking at their last two logos, the new one looks spectacular.
