Over Christmas I had been meaning to update the whereabouts of a few FLP (that’s “Former Lynx Players”) - Chris Roberson, Danny Sandoval and a few others are playing in Winter Leagues in much warmer climes.  I was extremely surprised to find three comments “awaiting moderation” when I checked in today - two were from none other than blog favorite, Gary Burnham!

Anybody who follows the blog knows how impressed I was with Gary in 2007.  Anyone who went to the park this year could not have helped but notice how hard he played, and how great he was with the fans who showed up.  Back on December 5, I wrote that I felt a little stung by the comments he made about Ottawa and classy guy that he is, he’s taken the time and clarified them.

Ottawa fans, Merry Christmas. Just wanted to say hello and a friend of mine emailed me this blog sight. Just to clear things up a bit, The main core of fans that were there for the whole season were awesome and I feel terrible if you guys thought that I was directing negative energy toward anyone. I actually loved the small group of fans that followed us around and I had a great time in the city. The challenging part of the season was the lack of attendance and the tough weather conditions at the beginning of the season. It was tough for us to put up power numbers. Carl made up for the lack of noise though..lol…..Happy new year! Gary

Gary, you do know that we’re looking for a manager and an above average power hitter here in Ottawa, don’t you?
