to me, $14 seem pretty steep for semi pro ball ..
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

They signed another 6-6 guy. Not sure if they are drawing any fans.

Question...

When did this Cape Cod Frenzy team form?? I grew up on Cape Cod and this is the first I've EVER heard about it.

UMG- This is their first season. They are playing at various gyms on the Cape. The schedule is on their website: http://www.capecodfrenzy.com/
Says they are looking for someone to get inside the Shark costume as a mascot. If anyone thinks they can play you can mail game tapes in too. I think they get paid about $800 a month. League is like the Can/Am Baseball League that the Worcester Tornadoes and Brockton Rox play in.

The Frenzy franchise has been around longer than that. Shannon Crooks played with them a couple years ago.

If Raheim had ever developed any sort of mid-range game, he could have been a really good player for us. He was too small to consistently bang down low, but also couldn't make a 15 foot jump shot. I wish him well, he was a good dude.

There is some video of the Cape Cod Frenzy playing Buffalo up on You Tube......game seems to have a Streetball feel and lots of empty seats. Not sure what number Lamb is:

I was at a Jr. High game last week with more fans. Good luck to all, but sometimes you gotta move on.
