Okay, this was actually the Cardinals v. Damn Yankees, but because one roster features 4 of my current 45 Blue Jays teammates (Yanks) and the other carries 4 of my former Jays teammates (Cards), I've renamed the series. Game one of their 55 semi's, Satellite Field. I'll let the clubs' own travelling s...

A wonderful night for baseball at the Bob and the Indians bounced back to defeat a tough Padres squad 10-6 last night. Brendan Roberts started on the bump and was cruising along with a 3-1 lead before the Padres scored 4 in the bottom of the 5th to take the lead and look like the Indians streak would be over...
In spite of a lot of rain surrounding the Satellite field in the Saturday/Sunday overnight hours, the field survived to host the 1st annual Cubs/Marlins reunion game. The game wasn't as competitive as expected, with the Cubs winning 13-1, but the picnic afterwards was a huge success. Friends and ex...

After 2 complete game, 7-inning victories last week (on 1 day rest), Chris Abrams looked anything but unbeatable, giving up 5 1st inning runs to the Americans (on 4 days rest). He then proceeded to toss 6 shutout innings, and the Whiz Kids rallied to an 11-5 victory. Brian Musella continued his torrid...
If the Peppers are the 8 seed, then parity exists! I don't have the book in front of me, but Monday night at New Scotland Town Park ... ... the Peppers came fully rostered and loaded. Pitching, defense and a timely 2-out hit in the top of the 7th gave the Peppers a 1-0 lead. And when Bill Smith lined a shot int...
The Blue Jays combined effective pitching by Mike Surin, a strong defense behind him, and a balanced offense to defeat the Warriors 13-3 at Blatnick Park in Niskayuna on July 26. This was a tight one-run game through four innings before the Jays pulled away with big innings in the fifth and sixth. I, fo...
The 45 Royals had a good day in a good game with the Braves in Chatham on Sunday.

A small, rag-tag group of Bears traveled to Johnstown to face the Yankees and squeaked out an 8-5 win. Bears starter Curt Tucker went the distance and carried a shutout into the last inning but started to tire in the seventh. Determined to finish it himself, he kept his cool and completed the game for th...
