NEW HAMPSHIRE TO HOST PRIMARIES AUGUST 25

New Hampshire will host the first in the nation 'Primaries' for one night only -Saturday, August 25- at Merchantsauto.com Stadium.

The Primaries, playing as the Double-A Affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays for one night, will host the Portland Sea Dogs, Double-A Affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, in a 7:05pm game.

"New Hampshire's primaries have played a major role in shaping our country's history," said New Hampshire Fisher Cats President and General Manager Rick Brenner. "In keeping with our franchise's proud history, we can't wait to bring our fans what they have never been able to see before - the New Hampshire Primaries take the field."

New Hampshire's Double-A Eastern League franchise was originally named the Primaries on November 6, 2003. Within days, a petition asking for a name change led to a 'Name The Team' contest that brought the New Hampshire Fisher Cats into existence on December 3, 2003.

The Primaries will be wearing specially- designed game worn jerseys for this unique game. Following the game, fans will be treated to an Atlas Fireworks Show.

FIVE FISHER CATS NAMED EASTERN LEAGUE ALL-STARS

The Fisher Cats had five players named to the roster of the Eastern League Northern Division All-Stars earlier this week.

3B Rob Cosby, C Robinzon Diaz, OF Aaron Mathews, SS Sergio Santos and RHP Tracy Thorpe will all participate in the Eastern League All-Star Game, scheduled for Wednesday, July 11 at Dodd Stadium in Norwich, CT.

"These five players have been major contributors on the field, and they have also served as tremendous role models to our fans," said Fisher Cats President/General Manager Rick Brenner. "We congratulate them on this achievement and know they will represent the Fisher Cats organization well as Northern Division All-Stars."

New Hampshire hosts the 2008 Eastern League All-Star Game. The only way to purchase tickets right now is to become a SEASON TICKET HOLDER.

And, as a special side note, congratulations to Fisher Cats' All-Star shortstop Sergio Santos and his wife on the birth of their daughter, Jaden, earlier this week!

FISHER CATS ROARING INTO ALL-STAR BREAK!

The Fisher Cats carried a season-best six-game winning streak into their July 4 game in Binghamton against the Mets.

The Fisher Cats swept a four-game series from the Sea Dogs at Hadlock Field from June 30-July 3 to build a four-game lead over Portland for the second playoff spot in the Northern Division.

Outfielder Ryan Patterson led the Fisher Cats with home runs in three consecutive games, including a grand slam on Tuesday night that highlighted a 9-4 Fisher Cats' victory.

Patterson has two grand slams on the season and is now batting .538 with 3 HR and 9 RBI in July.

The Fishers will be looking to extend that lead when they tangle with the Sea Dogs this Saturday, Sunday and Monday at Merchantsauto.com Stadium.

BELLETETES TIP OF THE WEEK - DRIVEWAY SEALING

Sealer manufacturers and asphalt contractors agree that most asphalt driveways only need to be sealed about every three years.

If your driveway is graying, that indicates that the surface is oxidizing and losing the binder that holds the aggregate in the asphalt.

Get a good filled-sealer. Filled- sealers contain sand or other solids that fill small cracks and holes. The more solids (asphalt, coal tar, polymers, etc.) in the formula, the better the sealer quality and the more expensive it will be.

But remember, you get what you pay for.
