LONG POST ALERT: This year my teammate Mike Kane requested that I write a post like I used to back in the olden times. It was a Pirates thing, you might not understand. What follows is the fulfillment of that promise. Feel free to ignore it. This year marks my first season back playing hardball after 7-8 y...
Bob Noto lined a 2-out single in the bottom of the 5th to spoil Jim Preller's bid for a no-hitter Monday night. Preller (3-0) had allowed only 2 baserunners via walks up to that point. The first walk occurred in the bottom of the 2nd. Jim Edelman followed with what ordinarily would have been a single, but...
The Cubs and Black Sox got together Sunday morning at the Satellite field for a well played game. Both teams were a bit surprised to be playing, with all of the rain on Saturday, and a quick shower on Sunday morning. The game ended up being a tightly played contest, that wasn't decided until the last pitc...
On Friday the Indians took on the Padres and held off a tough team 7-3 behind 5 strong innings from rookie Mike Ruffinen and a 2 inning save from BJ Roberts . It was a good close game that was 4-3 after 6. Last night at shuttleworth the Indians defeated the Dbacks 11-1 behind another gem from BJ Roberts who t...

The Bears opened the scoring in the 3rd inning when with one out Kevin Bondi was hit by a pitch and Kevin Gallagher followed with a single. Darren Foote wou...

Gentlemen I do believe I left the Black Sox scorebook behind, perhaps on the bench, 3rd baseline, after the 10 o'clock game today. I sure hope someone picked it up. If you did, thank you, and I can be reached at 928-8662, or dbwixon@gmail.com, or here on the Bulletin Board. Thank you again. dbwixon
No matter how long you play this beautiful game of baseball - and the majority of the guys involved in Tuesday''s Marlins vs. Damn Yankees game in the 55s have been doing it for years - you can just never quite figure out for sure how things are going to end up. In football, basketball and those "other" spo...
Before I get to the game notes, I want to say that as badly as the Bears need wins, it really sucks to win in the fashion in which we did. Yes it was exciting, yes it was a walkoff; but it was only the sixth inning of a game that started at 5:45. I'm not sure what the league can do about it, but the fact that we had to...
