The defending champion Cubs advanced to the third round with a hard fought victory over the Cardinals Saturday at the B diamond. Earlier, the Cardinals had eliminated the Mets 4-3.
The ageless wonder, Jim Ansel, led the charge with a complete game mound effort, as well as ripping 3 singles, and dri...
Mike Podgorski scattered 5 hits over 6 innings and pitched the WhizKids to an 11-4 victory over DaBums. Anthony Torre ripped a bases loaded triple to open the scoring in an 8-run 1st inning. Eight different WhizKids collected at least 1 hit, and they also played great defense in support of their pitch...

an idea for both teams, and especially those guys who felt they had their championships playoffs unfairly taken from them.
the idea comes from left field, but i play that position, so it fits. and i throw it out knowing it may not appeal on first glance to everyone - it will take a vote, i suspect, of a...
hi guys:
the texans are coming and you're all invited to a game and picnic.
about 13 guys from san antonio's over-47 league arrive monday (9/19) for a week
of visiting and games, and they wouldn't mind a game against us.
so with john reel's, kevin jackson's and jim kostantakis' support...
I just wanted to say good luck to all teams involved as we approach this weekend. It's been a great season, and hopefully we can meet the Marlins in two weeks.

Gentlemen - I too am dissapointed in the conclusion of the Orioles-Silver Marlins Championship Series. I was given the enormous responsibility of putting together a cohesive, professional umpire association on the fly, when the previous umpire group dropped our leagues, three days before the s...

Brother ballplayers - When we're done playin' ball someday, we gotta get together and write a friggin' book!!!! I ain't never seen such a group of eloquent writers. Jim P and Mike H - you wanna be co-Commissioners of that league?? We'll have to go find Dick Stark. He said he's going to some island in the m...
I just finished reading all of the postings in the various strings about how the championship game ended.
I must echo - as loud as I can - the words of Steve Lounello. I had the pleasure of playing with Steve last year on the Peppers and know from that experience that he has it right. Guys, we're all in o...
I think Mike Hart has come up with a fair solution and those invoved should certainly consider his suggestions. We certainly need umps for our league and if word gets around that this behavior is the norm, we could end up in a worse situation where we have no umps! We all have been victims of awful calls bu...
An exceptional pitching dual in game 2 of the 38 finals, between the Orioles John Pologna, and the Silver's Jon Martin, was overshadowed by a late inning incident, which resulted in the Orioles forfeiting the game, and the championship. Both pitchers threw well, and all runs had been unearned,as th...
Yes the league championship ended badly on Saturday.I won't get into a he said she said routine about what was said and who said what because it is so counterproductive. I am sure in hindsight that I as manager of the Orioles and the umpire could have handled things differently.
I want to apologize...
First of all let me start this by saying I even feel bad for the way things ended the 38+ Championship. I feel bad for all the players that are class acts in this league and their "Big Game" ruined by the immaturity of a few. Congratulations to the 2005 38+ over Champions the Silver Marlins. I know most of yo...
