I wish I could write about things that would make people want to go to the game but there has not been anything.

Callups arent an entitlement, they're earned. Except for Duco, McArdle, Dadanov, Orestovich, and Salak nobody has earned that opportunity. i am sick and tired of the garbage excuses coming from this locker room. yeah hamiltons playing well, so what! amerks have injuries and call ups, what makes us so special? wilkes-barre has seen just as many callups as rochester and they’re only 4 pts out of a playoff spot!
