Since I just starting blogging last night, I haven't got a chance to talk about the hectic afternoon I had on August 31st.
Throughout the day... well... not a whole lot happened. The only thing I got a chance to post was a brief blurb about Vince Wilfork being willing to play an 18-game season (not a big deal).
Tuesdays are the day for the biggest meeting on CSN property... so I was on my own for about three hours. Of course, something huge had to happen during that period.
I found out via twitter (and a bunch of loud voices in the newsroom) that Red Sox pitcher Manny Delcarmen had been traded to the Colorado Rockies. I was the one responsible for posting this breaking news. The one problem... I've never done something like that before. So after about a minute, I broke the news to New England as well as I could.
About a minute after this took place Art came out of his meeting. We added a few things to the headline as time passed and more information came in.
Considering it was just my second day, the situation was very nerve-racking. I feel like I did a pretty good job. Now, I hope no one else gets traded, but if it does happen I will be ready.
