Cubs clinch 4th place, with a 13-7 win over the Dodgers.
(Preview)
The Cubs bats were angry early in this one! Coming off 3 consecutive losses for the first time in memory, the Cubs scored 12 runs in the 1st 3 innings. They pounded out 13 hits in those 3 innings and took advantage of 3 Dodgers' errors. Meanwhile, Cubs' starter Mike Girard was sailing through the first 3 i...

55 Cardinals-Twins
(Preview)
Cardinals defeated the Twins at Gruner 9-6 Monday evening. The first inning did in the Twins as the Cards scored 6 runs. Twins made a pitching change after the first and outscored the Cardinals 6-3 over the final 6 innings, but it was too little too late. It was a beautiful night for baseball that was a fi...

GJM
(Preview)
So for several years and on several different teams, I have had the pleasure to be teammates with Lance Meeson... He has helped a couple teams win Championships in a couple of divisions now and also been on a few really bad ones (like most of us)... More so than anything though he is a father and dad first ~...

Three Dog Night at New Scotland
(Preview)
Mike G did his usual fine job recapping Cubs games (whether they win or lose) with his report below of the Damn Yankees victory last night, but he was remiss in not noting a highlight of the evening: Kevin Jackson's post-game hot dogs. KJ quickly fired up a kettle of dogs and after a hard-fought battle, p...

Exciting finish to Whiz - Cubs game!
(Preview)
With rain falling all around the Schenectady area, the Cubs and Whiz got together at the Schenectady Babe Ruth field, for a great game, with the outcome not decided until the final pitch. The Whiz bats were hot early, plating 1 run in the first, and 4 runs in the second. The Cubs pushed one run across in th...

1s and 2s
(Preview)
The Capital Division will be playing tomorrow at 11:00 AM at Watervliet HS. Like any other group of older baseball teams, we could use a couple of pitchers and catchers. So if you are in your 50s, 60s or 70s and can either throw strikes and/or squat down and get back up - come join us! Contact me at dballjr@...

Jim Bouton
(Preview)
Reading the paper I was saddened to read of the passing of Jim Bouton. As a teen, reading his books brought a lot into focus. The people in his books lived like we do, had the same foibles and failings and enjoyed what they did in their way. He humanized a game and class of people - actually made them more acc...

Twins-Pirates Results
(Preview)
The Twins defeated the Pirates at New Scotland last night 20-8. Scoring in each of the first 3 innings, the Twins jumped to a 7-0 lead, but the Pirates came back with 4 runs in the bottom of the 4th, with the big blow being a bases loaded single off the bat of Jim Ansel. Motivated by the Pirates challenge, th...

Matinee Division
(Preview)
I had the opportunity to play in a Matinee Division game today. It was good competition and anyone going south in the fall should take advantage of this. Big thanks to Jim McQuade and Jimmy K for organizing and getting this Division off the ground.

The Yankees defense did have 3 errors on the night, but made the rest of the plays and turned 3 double plays in th...

Dodgers vs. Cardinals
(Preview)
The Dodgers and Cardinals met at Watervliet HS for the first of two games this week in phase two of the 55+ division season. Crafty veteran John Latorre took the mound for the red birds and had the Dodgers' batters shaking their heads on the way back to the dugout. "I was way out in front". "Ugh, right off t...

Giants 10 Cubs 5
(Preview)
Good friends and November teammates got together at New Scotland last night, and a great game broke out. At least it was a great game through 5 full innings. The Cubs held a 5-3 advantage over the Giants entering the top of the 6th inning. The Cubs defense, in the top of the 6th inning, set back the game of b...
