You have already read Jim's e-mail as to how the game went. Just wanted to add my congratulations to Jim and the rest of the team. It was a well played game. Good luck in your next encounter. We'll seeeeeee you next year. Tony
I know the 11:30 game was played at New Scotland Town Park.
I also know the Hornets-Marlins game set for 2:30 was rained out.
At 3:30, the sun was partially out and the field had dried up. So, I'm wondering if the 5 p.m. game was played.
The sad, but kinda funny thing about the 2:30 game is that Mike Gira...
On a rainy Sunday morning at New Scotland, the Gray Cougars held off the high-flying Hawks by the score of 5-0 in the opening round of the 55+ playoff series. For the Hawks, Kevin McDonald (I believe it was him--they gave me only first names for the scorebook) had two hits. Bob Weitz pitched a strong game...

In another thrilling battle from the deep, The vets managed to outlast a very deligent Cougar team. This game was much like the previous games. It was an exciting game, and fun to play. Hooray for the new schedule. T
Don't like the 10 run rule. We were up by 10 after 6, due mostly to a 6-run 5th inning. Both teams wanted to play the 7th inning, but the ump said his hands were tied. We are paying good money for the opportunity to play, and if both sides are willing, play should continue. Many players can recall comebacks f...
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...
The 2:30 games today, Sunday, August 2 are on. Those playing the 5:00 p.m. games will have to check field conditions. Info relayed to me by John Reel.

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...
