The Cubs scored 3 unearned runs in the top of the second on three hits and 3 Twins errors. Cubs sco...
The Dodgers spent the first four innings at the A Diamond fishing for Teddy Martin curve balls, striking out, grounding out and flailing our way to a 1 - 1 tie against a seasoned Angels squad. The boys in blue finally strung some hits together in the bottom of the 5th to take a six-run lead. We were hoping t...

Another typical game between the WhizKids and Dodgers: a close, low scoring affair. Starting pitchers Mike Kane of the Whiz and Mark Denicola of the Dodgers matched zeroes for the first three innings. The Whiz broke the ice with 2 runs in the bottom of the 4th on an error, singles by Greg Mangione and Fr...
Most of you are old enough to remember submarining reliever Dan Quisenberry in this 1986 commercial for Sports Illustrated. Sadly, Quisenberry succumbed to a brain tumor at age 45 in 1998. He says, "I can't trust what I got in the bullpen...Here goes nothing...." It makes the hair on my arms s...

John Weber and Darrell Duncan teamed up on a four-hit shutout last night at New Scotland as Damn Yankees defeated a depleted Dodgers team by a score of 6-0. The Yankees made the most of the few offensive opportunities they had against starter Rick Loffredo and reliever Jim Tesoriero with four runs in t...
Nice night at the A-Diamond in Schenectady, and a Darnell Baker sighting had the standing room only crowd excited for a match up between the Whiz Kids and Cubs. These games are always hotly contested, and this game was no exception. Scott Ross got the ball rolling for the Cubs with a lead-off single, in...
At New Scotland the temperature registered 98 degrees at game time and both teams were sweating pretty good before the first pitch was thrown. The Twins came up first and scored 3 runs as John Newman knocked in Lee Madsen with a double and Rick Saidenberg homered to right off Angels hard throwing start...
