Yesterday at New Scotland, the 37 Pirates experienced a horrific drubbing by the Giants. As we cried in our beer, we came up with a plan for a fantastic bonfire to burn our 2008 scorebook. Being huge health nuts, and giving up smoking years ago in order to follow our dreams of being the oldest guys to make...
The Highlanders defeated the Jays in a playoff game today at Ichabod Crane by a score of 11-1. The Highlanders advance to the quarter-final round against the Hummingbirds - starting at Gruner Field Monday night. The Highlanders victory today was spear-headed by a fine pitching performance by John...
The Orioles and Reds played each other for the second time in less then 24 hours this time in Valatie. The Orioles came out on top 7-1 and got a complete game from Bob Bolt. The Reds Mike Lacouturi also pitched a complete game (I believe he also threw some innings against the Braves just prior to our game)....
The Shaskys took their first playoff game of the post-season for the second year in a row, then fell in the second game to repeat last year's performance.
Game 1 was a very tough battle with the White Sox. Both teams pounded out runs early, The Sox had a 5-2 lead after 2. The Shaskys plated 2 in the 3rd and...
... with a 15-0 win over the Pirates, who were without Mike Kane and others Saturday afternoon at New Scotland.
Giants now face the extremely talented 2-seed Mets and will face Chris Dunn, who 2-hit the Giants earlier in the season. Best-of-3 starts Monday at Bob Moore.

The baseball gods were smiling on us at New Scotland last night, as the worst of the rain missed the ball park. There was a light shower as the game started, but it stopped in the second inning and the game went on. The Highlanders were saving their best pitchers for the playoff run and started "the C...
Friday night the Orioles and Reds worked hard on the West Albany BR Field to get this game in after a brief shower. The O's came out on top 9-0 ending a hectic week of 4 games in 5 days that started with a rare week day doubleheader Monday night against a tough Met's team only to be followed by a game Wednesday...
The Mets vs. Marlins game found a hole in all that rain yesterday and the Silver Marlins came out on top 7 - 2. Phil Gadomski again came up big in a big game for the Fish, giving up just two runs to the Mets line-up, that looks like the USA Olympic weightlifting team. Mash scattered four hits through five inn...
With the last night of the regular season threatened by impending thunder storms, there are still a number of games that could have a big effect on the standings.
First, the Silver Marlins play the Highlanders in a rain-out make-up at New Scotland. If the Marlins win, they could finish 3rd or 4th, dep...

The Shaskys, fielding only 8 players tonight, beat the A's 7-2 at the Voorheesville Satellite Field.
Manny Marrufo pitched a classy 3-hit complete game to lead the Shaskys to victory. Marrufo stubbornly kept the A's off kilter all night, painting the corners and keeping the ball for the most part...
