11/04/03 - Sorry, I've been offline for a while during the off season.  I've reformatted the menu's, hopefully for easier access to things.  I'm interested in your feedback if there is something that could be better.  

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Winfield's and their brush with those California wildfires.  I hope all is well.

Sean has been reported on in Baseball America again.  I hope to get that up on the web in the next few days.

Brian is back from Florida.  Both of them have nice new rides.

09/14/03 - Congratulations Sean, on being part of the 2003 Midwest League Champion Lansing Lugnuts.

Reformatted website to make it a little more manageable, as well as easier for you to find things.  I am interested in your feedback.  Plans call for the addition of a discussion area.  We will be able to share perspective, thoughts, game actions etc.  You have been very good at helping me with content.  This would provide an interesting place for the boys to look back at someday.

Added a Chat Room.

Added a Discussion Forum.

09/09/03 - Trying for a more uniform look across pages.  You'll be seeing big changes over the office season, to hopefully make this a more user friendly navigable site.  When it first started, I didn't realize just how much content there would be.  We now need to make some adjustments to better maintain the site.  Also added Sean's Lansing jersey number to various pages.

09/01/03 - The 8-1 win over the West Michigan Whitecaps featured good hitting, solid defense, and the emergence of a new Lugnut who was overpowering in his debut.  Lefthander Sean Marshall, the Cubs' sixth-round draft choice out of Virginia Commonwealth University, struck out 11 hitters and walked none in a seven-inning start, allowing five hits and one unearned run. The strikeout total is the Lugnuts' second-highest single-game total this year.

It is certainly tough to lose when there is no hitting behind you.  As summed up by Mr. Winfield :  "The game just ended in the West.  Yakima beats the Boise Hawks 1-0.  Sean pitches 7 innings giving up 1 unearned run, striking out 9 and allowing only 3 hits.  Accordingly, he was given the loss (5-6).  What a shame!!.  With 9 KO's, Sean is tied with teammate Rich Hill for the most strikeouts in the NW League.  Additionally, Sean was selected as the Hawks player of the game."
