A wild one at Rottredam's Memorial Park - the new home field of the White Sox, thanks to Rick Caruso's effort and influence, and a very entertaining PA address announcer, while playing under the lights, was a great back drop for a great game.....although in their debut at their new home field, the sche...
Can someone on the board or maybe a commsioners of the leagues please put together a list of mediocre/average/ acceptable/ available/scrubs (no disrespect to those that are allowed to play) players that can be called upon to sub for a game in the 38+ league when a team can't field enough players due to...
The Highlanders edged the A's 7-4 on Monday, July 30, at the Knick. The game moved along quickly and each team had its share of timely hitting and excellent defensive plays. Ed Class (A's) and John Kalinski (Highlanders) each pitched well.
Sue Caputo came by the house last night and told me that she had to transport Tom to Albany Memorial Hospital, due to a shoulder injury that occurred as Tom was making a throw from short during a 47+ Golden Marlins game versus the Yankees. She said she would call if she heard anything about how Tommy was do...
I spoke with Dan Duquette (of Red Sox fame, and Tommy Maney's buddy) .Wahconah park, in Pittsfield, is available in August.
In the past we have played a slate of games there and I think most guys felt it was worth the trip.
With all of the rainouts, it might make even more sense.
The fee for us would b...
Friday night at New Scotland the Marlins held off a stubborn Pirates team 6-4. Both teams were playing without some regular contributors, but the pitching for both teams was as dependable as always. Mike Kane did a commendable job mixing speeds and locations, keeping the potent Marlins attack off b...
A great night for baseball in scotia last night. Unfortunately the Giants came out on top 11-6, as we left to many runners on base and forgot how to catch with 2 outs. We jumped in front 3-0 in the bottom of the first led by a 2 run homer by Tony Parella, but could not hold the lead.Congrats to the Giants they p...
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness......" Enough of Mr. Dickens. The Black Sox and the Marlins were set to play their second consecutive game against each other. It was the best of times, a sunny Saturday morning. It was t...

The Hummingbirds emerged victorious over the Pirates last night. The Pirates blew a 6-1 lead by allowing too many walks, dropped third strikes, committing errors and just displaying all around poor defense in the fifth inning. Jim McQuade hit the ball well as did Ron Smaka.
The final play of the ga...
Behind the strong complete game pitching of Erik Samarija, the Peppers beat the White Sox 10 to 2 at New Scotland on Wednesday 7/25. Timely hitting by the Peppers and a few untimely errors by the White Sox resulted in the Peppers breaking the game open in the later innings.
Winning pitcher Jesse Braverman pitched 3 innings of relief, giving up 1 run, striking out 4, and benefitted from a 7-run 6th inning as the WhizKids broke open a close game to beat the Dodgers. Darrell Duncan led the 16-hit outburst, going 5 for 5, and the WhizKids overcame deficits of 6-2, and 7-3 befo...
It turned out to be a great night for baseball last night in Burnt Hills. I want to congradulate the Shasky's as they are very much improved. Their pitcher named Callahan threw a very fine game.
We were very happy to come out on top by a score of 4-3 as Jim Jansen ran his record to 2-0 behind a complete game...
