The Orioles rode the back of Jimmy Becker to a win in the second game of the 35+ finals. Becker was rumored out for the series due to a leg injury, but last night he was solid in the must win situation on the mound for the Orioles. This GUTSY performance by Jim sets up a one game "winner-take-all"...
Congratulations to the Orioles and Mets for advancing to the finals which begin today. This should be an excellent series between two top quality teams. Good luck to all.

Thanks Q for not only putting these polls together, but for all you do behind the scenes.
Now is the chance to follow up on your experiences with the mercy rule. Do you love it? Do you hate it? Do you want it tweaked? Time to step up and click a button.
The poll will end by friday of this week.
As of right now its heavily in favor of not having a player movement rule which means guys would be able to play where they wanted.
Thanks for all who have voted and this gives us at the board level an opportunity to see what the league wants.
Thanks

All 4 games scheduled today (8/23) have been rained out. The umpires have been notified. I will work on a make-up schedule that may involve moving the scheduled 8/30 games around so these 8/23 games can be played. I may use Saturday 8/29 for some games. I will have a revised schedule by Tuesday.

I went down to Bleecker Stadium last night to catch the Twi-light League All-Star game. I had seen the article in the Times-Union regarding the game and they had the rosters listed. I saw Jim Shook's name listed along with a 19 year-old kid named David Balsamo, that I coached from age 9 to age 18. Mr. Shoo...

O's advance to the Championship series behind a strong start from Bobby Bolt. Pete Mahar singles home two in the 5th and a tight Oriole defense holds on for the 5-1 win at the always tough confines of Gruner Field.
O's take game one of the series by a score of 11-3. Earl Mitchell and Jimmy Becker were the starters, and what was expected to be a low scoring game had a bunch of defensive miscues and dinker hits, causing the score to get a bit out of hand. A couple of plays go different, and the score is much tighter. Tony N...
