The point is that Rowan\’s middle infielders have, at least to some extent, struggled this season. Top teams are almost always strong up the middle and the Profs have not been.

Compare Rowan\’s statistics to those of the other top infielders in the NJAC. TCNJ\’s duo of Adam Tussey and Jeff Toth have committed six and eight errors each.

Tussey is batting .449 and Toth has driven in 18 runs. Kean\’s Michael Moceri has eight errors at second, while shortstop Maikel De La Rosa has recorded just two. Moceri is batting over .300 and has stolen ten bases, while De La Rosa is third on the Cougars with a .348 mark. While these middle infield combinations are two of the top in the country and are tough to compare to anybody, they are the kind of competition the Profs are up against in the NJAC. This is the level the Rowan infield needs to strive to reach.

The cops are walking the beat
thinking of ways they can cheat
As Bobby Lee pedals his feet

God Made Firemen so police will have heroes
in 2008, the cops will score ZERO

Of course the judge would frown
after he\’s told not to drive through town
after the firemen WON last time

The cops are worth pee
without Bobby Lee
Thank god for the UEZ!

Ziegler would be safer
if he just keeps pushing paper
Instead of thinking he can handle the hot wing vapor

So Cops, Take a seat. You\’re about to get beat.
Firemen are always better at handling the heat!!

See you next month ladies! \”Central you can 40 that one out\”

Posted by: Firemen Rule, Cops are Tools | March 11, 2008 at 07:18 PM

I think the fire weenies should send three trucks to the wing bowl so they can get credit for doing three jobs for the night. That will put their calls for service up to 5 for the year!! Everyone knows that all these guys do is eat, sleep, and listen to the police scanner. Maybe we should have a sleeping contest or a contest to see who does the least amount of work in the city. The only one that does less work than a fireman is Ziegler. That will definitely be a guaranteed win for the wackers.

Posted by: Pad your stats | March 12, 2008 at 09:10 AM

I\’m gonna have to side with the cops on this one. I was traveling Rt. 130 the other night and saw them all at gaetano\’s. It looks like they were practicing pretty hard. Firemen watch out….I hear also that they have a new weapon. They added a new eater to their line-up. So instead of dropping the wings on the floor and kicking them behind the stage. This new eater is going to have his dog sitting under the table to get rid of the evidence.
Also, I see Ziegler is going to eat. I don\’t know if he will do to well. If he could just stop talking for a few minutes he will be able to put down some wings. I don\’t see that happening!!

Posted by: One sided | March 15, 2008 at 10:55 AM

Warm up suits????? What is that all about?? I didn\’t think anybody still wore them!!! 5 days and counting! I am psyched!! Can you guys please wear those warm up suits, I gotta see this! Are they velour?? Do you have Chuck Taylor\’s to wear with them as well? You probably had to get Doug Ziegler\’s sweat suit at the Children\’s Place, and you probably had to get Goober\’s sweat suit at Lane Bryant. I can\’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Warm up suits???????????? | March 31, 2008 at 06:05 PM

Listen fellas,

There is no secret that the police are going to win again; their undefeated record speaks for itself. I will add my fuel to the fire though so here it is….
Ryan…Can you say mid-life crisis? Here is a guy that drives his family around in a 6 cylinder mustang. He must be hanging out with his neighbor, ex-freeloader Gurick. At least Gurick actually looks cool in his mustang. Ryan will crumble after only a few wings, just like he crumbled after a few minutes into each football game he played in GHS.
Hubbs…I can\’t really say anything bad about ole holier than thou Jerry. He is probably the only threat on the hose wacker\’s team.
Dillon…He\’ll be out of breath climbing the three steps up on the stage, after a couple of bathroom runs, he will be being transported to Cooper by the 10-56.
Hagan…I\’m just glad he will not be on the microphone, have you ever heard a Hagan that could actually speak the English Language. They have their own language; the only people that can communicate with them are the Ellers (they have half the genes). I don\’t think grand pop will be able to pull any more favors for Pat on this one. I think grand pop used up all his favors getting Kenny Eller promoted to LT.
Oliver…Watch out for this guy to fold for the cops, he owes almost every one of them for taking his intoxicated butt home instead of locking him up. One thing is for certain though, he doesn\’t owe Zeigler or Lee, and these guys haven\’t uttered the words \”You\’re under arrest\” in about five years.
Bramble…This guy is seriously coo coo for coo coo puffs. Watch for Bramble to start talking to his wings instead of eating them.

The cops will be victorious once again!!

I heard the fire department is going to have Brandt eating, so I am going to have to go with the Fire Department.

Posted by: gomer pile | March 08, 2008 at 05:15 AM

I am going to have to go with the cops! The firemen might over sleep and not make it to the event.

Posted by: sleepy | March 08, 2008 at 05:12 AM

I think this is great community relations, and for a good cause. Will Norbit M. be in the challenge this year or will he wimp out. Go get em !! Po Po

Posted by: The Hairy Fox | March 07, 2008 at 11:48 PM

I\’m going with the firemen on this one guys. The firemen should prevail in anything except managing a budget. Good luck to all!!! This should be a great time.

Posted by: Squirt | March 07, 2008 at 10:37 PM

Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at the door. You can obtain tickets at the Gloucester City Fire headquarters M-F and the Gloucester City police Department M-F. Hope to see many there!!!!!!

Posted by: seller | March 07, 2008 at 09:55 PM

This is awesome!!!!!!!! It is good to see some camaraderie (did I spell that right?) between the two organizations. There is allot of negativity flying around but, all in all good stuff

Posted by: GRRRRREAT | March 07, 2008 at 09:46 PM

Once again the men of the city will win. I heard that the donuts will be out 4 a pre game meal for the cops. The bravest will prevail

Anderson worked six innings in collecting the win with a no hitter and four strikeouts and improves to 3-0.

Making his first appearance of the season after recovering from a pre-season injury, senior Brad Kittle (Millville, NJ/Millville) entered the game in the top of the seventh and struck out the side. Senior Steve Turrise (South Plainfield, NJ/South Plainfield) worked the eighth inning for the Lions and worked a pair of innings allowing just one hit with three strikeouts on the day as TCNJ’s pitchers shutout Moravian.

The Lions struck early with five runs in the bottom of the second inning as senior centerfielder Dave Mebs (Cinnaminson, NJ/Cinnaminson) added an RBI triple and senior right fielder Matt Barrett (Pennington, NJ/Hopewell Valley) drove in a pair in the inning, while sophomore dh Ryan Anzelone (Vernon, NJ/Vernon Township) added a double as the Lions sent all nine batters to the plate in the inning.

Sophomore Keith Shaffer (Honesdale, PA/Honesdale) also worked for Moravian on the mound.

Media Release

(08/22) TRENTON – With waters throughout New Jersey now teeming with feisty trout, Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Lisa P. Jackson today invited residents and visitors to celebrate the official opening of trout season on Saturday, April 5, at 8 a.m.

\”Opening day heralds the arrival of yet another season of first-rate trout fishing in our streams, lakes and ponds. Casting a line with family and friends while enjoying the quiet beauty of our landscapes is truly one of life\’s simple pleasures. I encourage everyone to get out on our waters and discover what thousands of satisfied anglers already know: Trout fishing in New Jersey is time and money well spent,\” Commissioner Jackson said.

Upward of 150,000 anglers are expected to head to their favorite fishing spots to mark the season opener.

Trout anglers ages 16 through 70 are reminded to buy a New Jersey fishing license and a trout stamp. Both can easily be purchased online at www.njfishandwildlife.com and printed at home, or from license agents throughout the state.

Come opening day, the DEP\’s Division of Fish and Wildlife will have stocked 180,000 brook trout, brown trout and rainbow trout in nearly 200 waterways throughout New Jersey. A total of 570,000 trout will be stocked by the end of May.

All of the trout are raised at the state\’s Pequest Trout Hatchery in Warren County. Most of the trout average 10.5 inches and weigh one-half pound. For even more angling excitement, the Division of Fish and Wildlife is stocking 6,000 big broodstock trout, which typically tip the scales at 3 pounds to 5 pounds and measure 14 inches to 19 inches.

What\’s more, lunker broodstock will be released in nine ponds and lakes, each receiving 30 fish to 50 fish – three to five times more than previously stocked as part of this popular program.

The size limit statewide for brook trout, brown trout and rainbow trout this year is nine inches, up from seven inches in 2007 – a change that is not expected to affect anglers fishing for stocked trout, but will help protect naturally reproducing trout populations.

Other important information on trout and trout fishing in New Jersey, including the stocking schedule, a list of fishing access sites, trout water closures, program changes and updates, and the 2008 Trout Fishing Outlook is available on the DEP\’s Fish and Wildlife Web site at www.njfishandwildlife.com/trtinfo_spr08.htm.

The weekly schedule of waters slated for spring stocking is also available by calling the Trout Stocking Hotline at (609) 633-6765.

For a summary of fishing regulations, license information, and feature articles, read the New Jersey Fish & Wildlife Digest Freshwater Fishing Edition, which is available wherever fishing licenses are sold, and on Fish and Wildlife\’s Web site.

A band of coyotes paused in their night of hunting on a far-off ridge to yip and howl; perhaps they’d been successful. A cold shiver ran up my spine, and a primordial sense of the wild — that old relationship between hunter and hunted — raised my hackles, summoning a stab of unalloyed fear. In the long history of humankind, we, too, have been the quarry of hungry animals.

Woven as it is into the fabric of our biological and cultural ancestry, the fear of being preyed upon is still very much present in humans. Too, the unbridled desire for the hunt, a basic, predatory instinct, still clings to our chromosomes.

I stopped to listen to the continued serenade of the coyote pack. More than an hour had passed since I’d left the parking lot on Bell Mountain, and a couple of miles of rugged Ozark terrain had passed under my boot soles since I’d left civilization behind me.
