Heidi Watney Getting Her Own Bobblehead

Written by Ian on .

Heidi WatneyThe Lowell Spinners have always been good with the giveaways for their games. Trust me I know,  I worked for their ownership group at one point in my minor league baseball working career.

They don't need to do the promotions to get fannies in the seats. They constant fill the seats at LeLacheur Stadium on a nightly basis.

So if you're tuning in for Sunday's Boston Red Sox vs Detroit Tigers games, unfortunately (or fortunately for some but not me) you won't get to see NESN's Heidi Watney on your television screen. Why's that you ask?

Well she'll busy throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the Spinners game on Sunday afternoon in honor of her first ever bobblehead doll.

So if you're one of the lucky first 1,000 fans, you'll be the proud owner of the Heidi Watney Bobblehead Doll.

Video: For The Love Of All Things Holy, Please Give Wake Some Potato Salad

Written by Ian on .

Nobody gave Boston Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield any potato salad at last year's Picnic in the Park so if you're going to it after Sunday's game all I ask is this.

PLEASE GIVE WAKE SOME POTATO SALAD!!!!

Video: RemDawg Not A Fan of Kiss Cam

Written by Ian on .

I wasn't around to post this until tonight but apparently NESN color analyst Jerry Remy isn't a fan of the Kiss Cam.

During Tuesday night's Boston Red Sox vs Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim game, the RemDawg and Don Orsillo were featured on the Angels Stadium Kiss Cam. DO leaned over to kiss the RemDawg but he wanted no part of it.

Interview With Former UConn Star Mel Thomas

Written by Steve on .

Former UConn Huskies guard Mel Thomas (2004-08) has decided to pursue a career in coaching as she works towards a graduate degree in business. Thomas, 24, recently joined the staff of Karl Smesko as the Director of Basketball Operations at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) in Fort Myers FL.

Mel ThomasAfter tearing her ACL in her senior season (2007-08) at UConn, Thomas missed out on the 2008 WNBA draft due to the injury. She later recovered well enough to play her first professional season in Ireland as a member of the Bausch and Lomb Waterford Wildcats of the Irish National Basketball League.

After a personally successfully season , Thomas returned home with the hope of playing in the WNBA. After being invited to training camp by the Seattle Storm last year she tore her meniscus in her knee just weeks before reporting and was unable to play once again until the fall. In October of 2009,, Thomas went off to play in Poland for Artego Bydgoszcz in the Polish league, PLKK.

This year after not being signed by a WNBA team and disappointed in her overseas experiences, Thomas has decided to try her hand at coaching and finds herself about to pursue her coaching career and her MBA (Masters of Business Administration) at FGCU starting this fall.

Recently, Sox & Dawgs asked Thomas a few questions about her new position, coaching, playing professionally and about her future. Always there will a smile and willing to answer just about anything Mel took some time from her busy schedule of studying for her GMAT’s (Graduate Management Admission Test), helping out at basketball camps and doing book signings for her book “Heart of a Husky” to answer these for us
