Defenders OPENER? on April 7th? NO!
I have one thing to say. I....HATE....SNOW!
Poor Defenders. You guys are never going to see action are you? There is only one more game in the 4 game series for the Portland Seadogs, which is tomorrow. Then they are off to the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. hopefully there is no snow there.
Alright Defenders First game April 6th...WHAT!?
Yep! The game was postponed, AGAIN due to wet grounds. Welp, I guess we are off to a VERY delayed start. Hopefully tomorrow there will be a game. They should just all travel to Dodd and play. Our grounds are fine. Lol

And thats it! If there people in the beginning of last season on here that I did not put as Returning its because I started going to Defenders games in the Summer and missed the first few months. Alot of the guys are in Fresno this year. The only confusion I have is milb.com says Tyler Von Schell moved to Fresno. But on Fresno's webpage, they have the 2007 Roster up, but hes not on it. And I checked San Jose just in case if they had a typo, hes not there either. So hes MIA...lol. But I shall start posting hopefully everyday keeping posted on the Defenders Progress. We still have some great guys from last year, so lets kick but this year! Go Defenders!
The next game is on 04/06/2007 @ Portland Sea Dogs starting time 06:00 pM!
Opening Day is on April 12th. (as of 9:40AM eastern standard. its 6 Days, 8 Hours, 52 Minutes, and 3 seconds till opening day!)
On opening day, April 12th, the first 1000 fans will receive a CT Defenders schedule magnet Also that day will be a day to have specials on Sam Adams.
