This coming Friday, August 7, there is a pro boxing show at Joe Bruno Stadium presented by Sweeney's Boxing. Ticket prices are $30. The doors open at 6:00 and the first bout starts at 7:30. There are a few local fighters on the card, including a heavyweight who was an Olympic alternate. I am extending an...
The Blue Thunder defeated the Dodgers 11 to 1 today in a game that was stopped by the umpire in the bottom of the 5th inning per the mercy rule that we have in this league.I for one do not like the mercy rule but I would have at least liked to have played 5 complete innings instead of the umpire being in a hurry t...

is there anyone solely responsible for contacting umpires before scheduled games to ensure their presence? should there be a need for one? are we relying on a small pool of umps to handle our games? this has been an issue recently at 45 and 55 games, and probably needs to be addressed. if we are relying o...
This game was scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday at Swift Road, which, of course, is the morning after a rain-soaked Friday. No one thought this game would get played. But it did.
The grounds crew there should be working Yankee Stadium. Unbelievable job. When we arrived, the guy working the field was ju...
Last nights game between the mets and humminbirds was a close one. Down by 2, I led off the last inning with a hit to ss. I ran hard and like most times I can beat out the throws. Needless to say I beat it out but was called out. Just like other base runners hustling down the line, I touched the bag and I motioned...
Sorry I have to go this route, but I'm left no other option.
I've brought this issue to officials of the umpire's association every year for at least 4 years now, and nothing has been resolved.
On Sunday at the Satellite field between the Vets and Hornets, a Vets player ran into our 2nd-baseman as he t...
What a disgrace! On a beautiful sunny day with game-time still hours away we were forced to cancel our game today at SUNY. Carlos was at the field at 11:00 and the "head groundskeeper" instructed us that we could not remove the puddles and apparently he was unwilling to as well. What a joke.....
I put this up early this morning on my "Good-Not Good" blog at wgy.com, and thought I'd share it with everyone on the bulletin board....

Like most professionals and working people, I strive to keep my private life and my 9-5 o...
Early morning rain has left New Scotland Town Park under water and the rain is not likely to stop. This has caused me to call the cancellation early, in hopes that we can get a make-up date for next week. It is bad enough that these two teams were only scheduled to play just this once, but I would like to make...
The Silver Marlins pushed their record to 10-5-1 with a 9-1 victory over the White Sox Thursday night at West Albany. Jim Ansel and Chuck Sohl combined on a two-hitter. The only White Sox run was unearned. Jim gave up a double to Fred Phillips in the second and Chuck gave up a single to Fred in the sixth. Mr...
