forget christmas it's playoff time ....... ..... as a player the anticipation is awesome .... as a manager / player it is awesome and nerve wracking .. i have been up every morning this week by 4 AM because i wake up and think about baseball and what i should do for a lineup, who should pitch etc ....
............aren't the best out of 5? It's much more difficult to win three games in a series than it is to win just two. If a team has two really good pitcher's........ series over pretty quickly but if that additional game needs to be won, a series can sway if pitching is neutralized. If seems there is j...
i asked a question about shasky's foe for the playoffs, at the same time that donny ball posted the same question at the end of the last series. so, quickly: my reading of the rules would have shaskys face the dodgers in the next round and the yankees face the giants. yes? the posting had it the other way ar...
The defending champion Columbia County Cannons will meet the regular season champs , the Frozen Ropes Outlaws , in a rematch of the last two years finals. the Outlaws are betting on the "third times the charm" adage and bring a substantial offense to battle the leagues best pitching staff...
91 votes were cast and most voters chose to move the Player Movement date up to Dec. 1. Nearly as many chose to keep it as it is. This rule as it stands now allows everyone in all divisions to become free agents by midnight Feb. 1. The Board will consider this voting when it convenes again in October. The res...

Now it's on to a rematch of last years finals against the defending Champ Giants I believe, though I see John Reel posted we play the Dodgers, so I...
I know how busy things are and that it is difficult to always get things set, but can we please get a 45 Playoff Schedule? It gets increasingly difficult as time goes on to make all the plans for family, work, etc. if we are waiting on the basic setup of the playoffs. Teams can end up at a disadvantage if arra...
There have been a couple of posts on here that mentioned bad baseballs. The complaints are legit .... a portion of the balls we purchased this year were bad. This was not just with our league but basically a portion of the balls our supplier bought were bad. They are pursuing things on their end but have s...
Kudos to Tommy Smith who sacrificed his front windshield today to the baseball gods to ensure a successful first day to the tourney! Having been associated with this league since 1995 and involved with most of the last ten tourneys (one or two as a player and many as an umpire) it looks like so far so good...
The Maine Indians, with the help of a few talented Albany players, made the 5-hour trek to Capitaland to defend their 45 Division championship in the 19th Eastern Regional CDMSBL Invitational Tournament. Thanks to the efforts of Team Rake Manager Steve Lounello, the trophy changed sites as Team Ra...
CDMSBL, I want to thank all who worked on the planning of this year's holiday tournament. With a last minute exodus from one team, that threw a wrinkle into the game plans and I know what headaches can come from that! I appreciate the efforts of Tommy 'Keg Head' Smith and his accommodating us as much as he...
