Baseball Christmas Date Party Post-Game Summary
Wednesday, December 5, marked the annual Delaware Baseball Christmas Date Party held at Learning Station. Being that baseball doesn't have their own formal, this was our attempt to achieve just that, and a little more. Players, some arriving with dates and some without (due to final exams), were all dressed up in their finest attire. Highlights include:
1. Michael Decarlo thinking he was the best looking guy there
2. Michael Iannucci bringing a very nice girl, one who liked him, and one who he actually liked too, but only finding out that she's in love with a water polo player from UMASS.
3. Mike Pelcher saying our best 1-2 punch this year is Jason Rogers and himself.
4. Chris Kolodzey's girlfriend telling me that she heard from a kid who goes to school in California that I quit. And Chris wasnt sure if it was true or not.
5. Only 1 UD Girl's soccer player in attendance
6. Rich McGuire displaying a perfect arch on his urine shot out the window.
7. Me and Nooch dancing together.
8. Decarlo and Schneider pretending to be bartenders.
9. Players from Delaware St. showing up.
10. The drink names: The Sherm, or Ass-Rape (screwdriver)

2002-2003 Academic Term: Whats Already Ahead
Many of us who are familiar with baseball know that one can't affored to look too far ahead. However, I disagree when it comes to one aspect - University Courtyards. The 2002-03 school year marks the reunion of myself with Mr. Jersey Pride, Michael Iannucci, and with his current roommate from the country's top state of PA, Scott Rambo. The first question one asks is, "What the hell are Mihalik and Rambo doing living with Nooch?" Well, Rambo and I, two very fine young men, dont plan on it since Nooch is out! Meanwhile, Nooch thinks he's in. Regardless of what Jim Sherman says about being in when you're actually out and being out when you're in, Nooch doesnt apply to this theory. Rambo and I will live in our own apartment, both be successful on and off the ball field, while Nooch sits there in Main St. Courtyard Room 410 with his hands down his pants reflecting on his Bishop Eustace days.
Actually, the three of us are all living together. I am the leader since I already live here, Rambo is the Prince, and Nooch will have to be the pauper. Although Nooch's baseball jersey will be used as our doormat, the three of us will live in harmony next year. Our apartment will be second to none. How do you figure that? This mathematical equation explains all....
1/2 (6104) + 1/2 (410) = electrifying
However, if you are observant, you are wondering about the 4th person in our apartment? Well, we dont really Noe at this point who it will be.

From Chicken to Blue Hen: The Mike Iannucci Story
It is rare that I have the privaledge to write about an individual that's actually somewhat worth writing about. And although that holds true in this case, I will go ahead and write about Michael A. Iannucci anyway. Just kidding - Mike is a great human being. I had the experience of a lifetime living with him for an entire school year last year in the University of Delaware Dickinson dorms. Why was that such an experience? Well, frankly, I dont have enough space to go on that long so I'll just talk about his baseball career for now. He is a left-handed pitcher from the reknown Bishop Eustace Preparatory School in southern Jersey - very impressive huh? Apparently he thinks so. Anyways, he is crafty and not overpowering and has to rely on his control and off-speed pitches, similar to his role model Greg Maddux. Last fall, he did a great job of that and had the best overall fall out of all the freshman. Sadly, our Coach, James H. Sherman, did not think so. When cut-day came, Mike [a.k.a. Nooch] did not make the team, but was kept on as an undergraduate assistant coach. So, you, the reader, may ask, 'what the hell is an undergraduate assistant coach?' Well, it means you practice your balls off with us and then when the games come, you have to either sit in the press box working the audio system or sit in the dugout. Basically, he got screwed. It was an unfair position for him to have. But somehow, he swallowed some of his ego for a year and dealt with it. He could have easily transfered, but he wanted to be on this team. So summer came and he worked his ass off lifting and throwing. That's why it was no surprise that this fall, he put on another solid, overall performance, and made the team. If you would have seen his face after hearing the great news, you would understand how much it means to him. All the guys on the team were hoping he'd make it this year and not just because we all knew he'd murder us if he didn't. Now, this winter, Nooch can work knowing that he's gonna get some innings in the spring. Congratulations, once again, Michaelbabe.
October 17 is his birthday so I am going to praise him a little bit more just so I feel better about myself. When it comes to girls, he is a smooth operator - always knows what to say and when to say it. He has those gentle arms for girls who are having bad days and need someone to be there, knowing that he would never ever throw them out of his room. He treats everyone as equals - no matter what shape, size, and color. Speaking of color, he is not racist whatsoever. In fact, he'll never use the word "black" to describe someone - he has forced himself over the years to call them "African-Americans." He is also a great singer. So, girls, he's your man. Feel free to contact me to get more info on Noochbabe.
Well folks, that concludes my story. Happy Birthday Noochbabe.
