I would like to thank all of the Boise Hawks fans who have made “On the Mike” an MLB Top-100 Pro Blog for the second-straight year – climbing from No. 80 in 2011 to No. 58 this season.

Throughout the summer, we were receiving anywhere from 100-200 hits per day on the site, as I try to give you, the fan, an insight within the Cubs’ short-season club.

On the same note, I would like to appologize for the past four months – starting in late August – for the lack of fresh content.  My full-time job as sports information director at The College of Idaho had a major push for a new athletics website (our second web redesign in less than a year) and had to get all of the content loaded – which meant instead of having some extra time each night to post, the time was loading content (you can see my work at http://yoteathletics.com).

However, it’s time to get after it…look in the coming weeks for recaps on the 2012 season, an update as to where former Hawks have moved during the offseason, and I will also attempt to have a Hot Stove Podcast of some kind as we amp up for the 2013 season, which begins on June 14 in Eugene.

I am back fans – and it’s time to get after it, just as many former Boise Hawks are currently doing in Arizona!!!
