Though we all understand why the time restrictions are in place, it is (in my view) unexceptable to schedule 2 games at Bob Moore when other fields are not being used. Last night's Reds/Yankees game was a barnburner that ended in a tie because of the time restrictions while there were NO GAMES being on A...
Wanted to take a moment to say how proud I am of our Reds team this season!!! First off it's a great group of guys who play the game the right way! Tonight we won over a good Dirtbags team behind a throwback Freddy Mac pitching performance and good defense. Freddy I believe pitched a no-hitter and complete...
If there is a better group of guys in this league than the Padres then I haven't met them yet. Last night my brother Jeff injured his knee and they helped him as if he was one of their own. We only had 9 to start the game and Rob was great allowing us to finish the game with a player borrowed from them. He did what...
I must take a moment this morning to again Thank my teammates for accommodating my wish to play all 9 positions in one game. We were playing a "meaningless" game in the standings and I asked Don Wixon if he would be gracious enough to allow me to attempt to play all 9 positions in that game. The game looked l...

The Cubs jumped out to a 3-0 lead, in the top of the first on a single and a stolen base by Shawn Maney. A fielder's choice moved Maney to third, with two outs, and an errant throw by the G...
The Braves topped the Brewers Sunday morning at the C Diamond 8-7 on an 8th inning walk off bases loaded single by Brendan Hogan. Ray Coletta pitched 6 solid innings for the Braves, giving up 7 runs, all unearned. Mark Denicola pitched two scoreless innings for the win. John Cortese made two great catc...
The Fish win an instant classic 8 - 7! The game wasn't decided until Ralph Caputo went deep into the hole at SS and made a great throw to first to get the final out in the bottom of the 7th! There were no leads bigger than 2 runs either way, and 5 or 6 lead changes. I love playing in these kinds of games! Proud of m...
Last night at legion field the Indians rallied to comeback and pull away from a good take team and came out on top 17-3. BJ Roberts ran his record to 8-0 on the year giving up 3 unearned runs and helped his cause with 2 hits. The stars of the game were rookies Mike Ruffinen and Adam Anderson who each had 3 hits...
