The Cubs played a tough Padres club on a beautiful Tuesday night at Albany Central BR field. The Cubs opened the scoring in the bottom of the first, when Bob Lane hit a 1-out double, and moved to third on a wild pitch. Dave Mitchell hit a sacrifice fly to plate the first run of the game. The Padres tied the ga...
Billy the Kid Kervan continued his dominance on the mound with a no-hitter and Matt Kellys scorching hot bat produced three more hits and a monster home run as the Yankees defeated the Peppers in a shortened 5-inning affair at Central Babe Ruth last night. Kervan faced the minimum 15 batters in regist...
During todays rain delay between the Royals and the Yankees I heard a few things that I thought was just wrong. With it starting to rain the Yankees went ovet to put the tarp on the field when a few of the royals came to help someone in there dugout said don't help. The next comment that was said was while I wa...
Playing two games at the C-diamond yesterday was a real pleasure. The infield is even and well kept, and the dugouts are roomy and do a great job keeping you out of the sun (or rain). Anything that we can do to play more on this field, and the B-diamond (which has had lots of improvements since the last time...
Just as a topic of conversation, there are some applications for smartphones and tablets now that utilize "real-time" scoring for team sports. Might one of these be useful for uploading statistics? Someone with knowledge of how these work know anything about whether or not they can be a...

MaREO Speedwagon Arduini hit three gappers on the day, the third one driving in the 14th run that ended the game in the bottom of the 5th in...
With the Yankees ahead 5-0 in the 3rd inning the rain took over. The Royals should thank the clouds above because the rain is the only thing that could have stop the yankees from a win today and it did. I would like to thank the few of the Royals who helped in trying to get the field back into playing shape and...

The Cubs bounced back from their worst outing of the year, with a solid win against the Yankees, 11-5. This game was a pitcher's duel through 5 complete innings. Lex Herlett, the Yankees starter, had the Cubs hitters scratching their heads, as he gave up just 4 singles and 1 unearned run through 5. Bobb...
Gary D'Ambrisi is willing to give out some "credits'' and to whatever he can to help Albany put a team in the 57+ Fall Classic in Jupiter area of Florida this November. There have been more than 230 hits on the previous message I posted, so there must be some interest. D'Ambrisi is a great guy and eas...
Its not often that you hear that a team goes to its hard-throwing 68-year-old to slow down a first place opponent, but thats exactly what the Damn Yankees were counting on when they sent ageless Bill Kervan to the hill Wednesday evening against the front-running Propane Cardinals. Kervan responded...
Funny that I hated country music growing up in Alabama, but now it's my genre of choice... Heck, my dad owned a country station in Dadeville, Alabama (home of Barbara Mandrell and her sisters for all you fans out there ~ all 2 of you!) and he even had to fire me one summer when I was dj'ing for him and kept sne...
