Lax: It's Whats for Dinner!

These days, I'm living in the 'beautiful' city of Baltimore and lacrosse has been a huge part of my life for the past 15+ years. I hope to continue to surround my self with the great people who I've met thru the sport and with those that I'll meet in the years to follow...here's some stuff for you to take in...

Holidays Wish List 08

12/11/2008 By Mark

Once my birthday passes in early December, it's time for Xmas time or Holiday Season if that's not your cup of tea.  I forgot to write a letter to the big guy last year and I got squat, so I'm writing my letter to Santa early this year. 

Dear Santa,

I have been a good boy all year so it's time for you to deliver.  Okay, I was naughty that one time but no one at work still knows who ate all the cake out of the fridge. 

So here's my Lax Christmas list.
1.  Obviously I need a new Maverick Juice head.
1a.  I'll need a sweet STX: ScTi Pro (defense) to go with #1
2.  I would like for a NEW Division 1 team to win.  How about Stonybrook?
3.  I'll take another Salisbury Seagull DIII championship.  If you could deliver that to Foxboro, MA that would be ideal.
4.  I want the pro leagues to stick around and not have any teams fold. 
5.  I have been extra nice so I'd really like a step or two back on the field without having to workout.
6.  Finally, would it kill ya to bring back the dive?

Merry Xmas
P.S. - I left you some cookies, but I ate them all.  Sorry big guy.



If I don't post again in time, a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all you out there in lacrosse land.  Don't forget to keep an eye out for big things coming up from LaxSpot as we vamp up in 2009!

Thanks-giving '08

11/20/2008 By Mark

Remember the days of having school off around thanksgiving?  If I remember correctly, we had a 1/2 day on Wednesday and off on Friday.  Now I have to use a vacation day to rest after I stuff myself until my pants don't fit.  Ain’t that the pits?

So we finished up our indoor season last week with a close one in the playoffs.  It was a fun year…and Thanks to all that played and consumed beverages like camels at the Parrot.  I was just told that there will be another indoor league this winter in beautiful Du Burns Arena in Canton...where I live.  So I’ll be able to play some more box…sweet!

I don't remember if I shared this with y'all, but I scored my first goal; either field or box in I don't know how many years.  I was fired up to stick one as I couldn't believe that I got the ball back after dishing it out!  Those offensive guys never pass it.  I guess I was due. 

If you didn't know, in box I'm strictly a defensive player.  We clear it, I get off.  It's that simple.  Defense, Get Off!!  Hey, I know my role and am happy to help the team.  But they gotta watch out next season as I like being on the offense!

I hope that everyone has a great Turkey Day!  I 'm heading down to Florida to see the folks and to beat my old man at some golf. 


Gobble, Gobble!

Fall ball? Heck it's indoor time here!

10/29/2008 By Mark

Everyone is all excited for Fall ball going on around the country.  I gotta say that I'm glad that Salisbury didn't really have a fall ball.  Sure there was 5 weeks of lax in the Fall, but it wasn't everyday and it wasn't too intense like the Springtime.  Once I got older I always seemed to schedule a class during the week in the afternoon....woops!

In Baltimore, instead of Fall ball, us post collegiate guys have the Baltimore Indoor Lacrosse League or the BILL.  They need to update their blog by the way... 

This year I'm playing for Team TriCerat, a bunch of clowns that I've met thru the years.  A few guys migrated from Dewalt to start up the squad this year.  I think we're at .500 but we had a big win over E-Lacrosse last night as we make our run for the playoffs!

Hoping to have some more fun this fall and get geared up for the Spring season with Magerk's.  I'll be able to play this year (barring any new 1 hand touch co-ed football games).
