You always want to put your best foot forward at the most important time. Well, the Cubs had that wish come true last night a the A-Diamond in their winner's bracket game vs the 5-time defending champion Giants. The Cubs pounded out 15 hits and scored 12 runs, while playing by far their best game of the ye...
Giants retired Cubs 1-2-3 in the first then began the bottom of the first with runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs. Cubs 12, Giants 3! Mikey G, the floor is yours! jimk
Mike Kane threw a no-hitter, and his teammates gave him plenty of support in a 10-0 victory over the Dodgers Monday night at New Scotland. The Dodgers only had two base runners, both in the second inning. Kane allowed a one-out walk to Don Ball, and the next batter hit a fly ball to the outfield, that was d...
Gentlemen: I play for the 45 Albany Red Sox and 55 Cards. I am also a partner in the Meadowdale Farm Winery. We want to extend a special offer to all CDMSBL players and managers (and your friends and families). Being in this league has to have some perks, right? Please drop by the winery while our new tasti...
CDMSBL oldsters are invited to join another 65+ team in Fort Myers Nov 16-23. I think this is workable and should be fun. The tournament has been liberal, allowing some younger players. Playoff game guaranteed. I need a list of definites to get back to them with, hopefully this weekend. Let me know. an...
I wish this was easier, but... We are one of the most successful msbl leagues, considered nationally. John Reel is reigning MSBL Man of the Year. I was in Phoenix to see him get the award. Cool! John wants us to support MSBL, which has a 60+ division in West Palm Beach 11/10-11/16. We have interest in that...
In the interest of starting a civil conversation, I want to share my observations relating to the 55+ division season and playoff schedule. I think it is important that all of the players within the division have an opportunity to offer their input so the general managers can discuss various topics d...
Inspired by the recent thread on our board, I reread Jim Bouton's BALL FOUR. I'd read it as a kid, long ago, and forgot every last detail. I sometimes even wonder whatever happened to that kid. Anyway, the book is fast and funny and I recommend it. What was especially great was coming to that last page and...
Last nights do over game (protest replay), had a very similar result as the original. The replay of the bottom of the 4th saw the Whiz Kids storm back int the game with a collection of well placed singles and two Cubs errors. They plated 5 runs to pull to 8-6 before the Cubs could escape that cursed inning....
I wasn't at the game and I don't have the book, but I'm told two different scores that Giants defeated the Damn Yankees. Giants and Cubs go at it Tues. at A Diamond, 5:30 p.m. jk
The Cubs got off to a flying start in this one, building a 7-1 lead over the top seed, in the first two innings. With two outs and nobody on in the top of the first, Mike Girard reached on an error and stole second base. Red hot Ron Lochner singled him home, and Andy Hoyle hit a towering drive over the left fiel...
Did the Giants and Dodgers play last night? If not, when and where is the make-up? So I can inform my players, if tonight's Whiz Kids/Cubs game gets rained out (80% chance), when and where would that be made up? Waiting to see what happens with the weather is not prudent, in my opinion. I just want to get th...
Hey guys! The Albany Caps will be going to Fort Myers, Florida this year. We will be entering the 53+ Roy Hobbs World Series Tournament. I am looking for a few players to round out our team. Preferably a shortstop, another pitcher, and possibly a quick left fielder. Any interest in trying a Florida trip...
