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...
I was not at the Finals. I cannot comment on any of the specifics. I have friends on both teams.
To truth is, I find it sad -- but by no means unforeseen -- that a championship game has ended this way. These events are not without CONTEXT, and I feel it's important for our league members to see these events...

Sorry Jim McQuade. I can't believe I forgot to add your name to the roster of players who helped our team in the Labor Day tournament.
You played great, too, as usual.
Again, my apologies.
Jim
thanks to all who devote so much on this holiday, including most of our board, the host mgr's and those mgr's getting their road teams together. all hale the champs but i have a great deal of respect for all teams coming in. 12 years now, and still the longest continously held MSBL regional tournament. H...
With a little more than a little trepidation I joined John Reel's over 47 team in the Labor Day Tourney. After 4 straight wins to take the cup, I am a little more than a lot grateful. My hesitance about seeing good baseball, changed the first game when our second baseman, Jay Hayner, deftly saw a grounder...
While it was a scramble to put together a 38 team and still play in the 47s, too, our 38 team, despite its 1-3 record, was competitive while developing new bonds.
We had a player from L.I., one from Dutchess County, and two brothers who live in Pensacola, Fla. and Schenectady, on the roster. And they ca...
some members of the cdmsbl community who were lucky enough to meet tommy yeates, a superb person, catcher and hitter from san antonio, texas, over the past three years when he made what was becoming his annual summer pilgrimmage here would, i'm sure, want to know that he died on tuesday, august 30.
