A Class Act!
(Preview)
The 38+ team from Albany, known as the New England Mutts, put in a superb effort this Independence weekend here in Portland, Maine and finished runner-up. On top of that, your president, John Reel, made the 6-hour trek to come and watch! I thought that was wonderful. The players showed a lot of class an...

rockets 4, peppers 3 (5 1/2 innings)
(Preview)
i frequently start these notes with comments about the weather - because in summer ball that always seems to play some role. but in the two games the catskill rockets and red hot chili peppers have played this season, the weather has gone from playing a role to being a role player.
first, the linesc...

Pirates 4, Fordians 2
(Preview)
A good, crisp game shortened by darkness and rain. We barely got it in, concluding after the Fordians batted in the top of the fifth. Mike Kane pitched for the Pirates and was coldly efficient. Our defense played well (except for one bad play with two outs in the 5th that allowed two runs). With two runne...

Hornets 7, Blue Thunder 3
(Preview)
Stung once again by those pesky Hornets. Wonderful night at the Knick Field in Troy for a baseball game. Thunder jumped out to a early 2-0 lead only to see the Hornets buzz away and buzz away and buzz away until they could buzz no more. Both teams supplied great pitching, keeping the hits as well as the cha...

Orioles 7 A's 4
(Preview)
Not a crisp game by any stretch of the imagination. When will it cool off?
The Orioles came out on top last night with a 7-4 win over the A's. Starter Steve Lounello struggled from the beginning allowing 6 hits, 4 runs, 2 earned over the first three innings. A's starter Art Gianakos threw a complete g...

Vets 19, Whiz Kids3
(Preview)
Even though the temperature was soaring, the crowds still came to fill the front row of the stands to near capacity. We thought this game was going to end up to be another "survival of the fit-ess." The Vets received some good pitching from Joe Sarubbi, and Matt Leinung, allowing 3 hits oner 5 innings. M...

Umpire is not part of the field or in play 100% of the time
(Preview)
An interesting play occurred in tonight's game between the Silver Marlins and Pirates. The bases were loaded with one out. The batter lined a ball that struck the base umpire behind the pitcher between 2nd and 3rd base. What is the call? MLB rules state that
6.08
The batter becomes a runner and i...

on a gorgeous night at cba - sunny, blue skies, temperatures in the comfortable high 70s, no humidity, rich green grass, all of that a good half reason why, after our winters here, we're there - the peppers and blue jays played an interesting game that had a little of everything: wild pitches, hit batsm...
