The Giants and the Whiz squared off last night at the A Diamond. The Giants got things rolling in the top of the 1st inning off of Whiz pitcher Jeff Friedman. Leadoff batter Paul Scutieri got things going with a lead off double. The 2nd batter, George Perry walked, followed by a Carlos Llera base hit to lo...
Well, this what you get when you try to write up a game story at 3 a.m., six hours after playing the contest when it's hot and humid and you're gassed: a fat error, followed by a big fried egg on your face. In the first line, I wrote of the July 17 contest between the Americans and Yanks, won by the Yanks 7-6, th...
The GMs' dilemma. It's 4:00 o'clock. You're sitting at a nice field under sunny skies and you are looking at the forecast on your smart phone. Clear skies up until game time. Then, a tiny, little pop-up, yellow-ish, maybe orange-ish ....OK reddish cloud over Watervliet. But only for 10 or 15 minutes....
Due to a rash of injuries and conflicts, the 62-Pirates are looking for a couple of subs to round out the line-up You'll look good in black and gold! for Friday, 7/21 6:00pm a Saugerties. In particular, we are in need of help at catcher, and corner infield (1B,3B). Reply to: jamesbdalton@yahoo.com, or...
The Americans and the Peppers played another humdinger on a hot, humid, smoky-aired game on Monday, July 17, and for the third time the unbeaten (10-0 now), first-place Yankees prevailed, and for the second time by a 7-6 score. The game went back and forth, as humdingers do, with the Americans taking...
The Arachnids and Peppers were more than a little fortunate to get in a full game on 7-17-23 at New Scotland . Although the field was squishy in many spots, especially around foul territory near the backstop and dugouts, the infield had been dragged, lines put down, and home plate painted very nicely....

So if your interested in good music, or just want to harass the bass player, see the info below: https://www.facebook...

With threatening weather throughout the region the Whiz and Twins caught a break and were able to get a full game in at Chatham. The weather actually turned quite beautiful once the game got rolling. Thanks to some hard work by Brad Buchan, Greg Mangione from the Whiz who arrived early, and some unknow...
As was noted by another GM, the 55 Pirates are not a team to take lightly. Jimmy Eephus Dalton has worked hard to continually upgrade his roster. The first inning was very unusual not that it went 1-2-3, 1-2-3, but that 4 of the 6 outs were called third strikes, 2 for each team. 7 total Ks in the game, none sw...
