Marlins/Pirates Closing Thoughts
(Preview)
Just a few closing notes about the game and the season:
* You can't help but admire the way the Marlins play. And yes, John Martin put it well, Chuck Sohl was a one-man wrecking crew last night. A good man and a hell of a ballplayer. But three other long-time Marlins, aged as the hills, made small plays...

Marlins 4, Pirates 0
(Preview)
No time to write, just wanted to get the score up here since I know this game has seeding implications for many teams.
Anyway, gents, good luck in the playoffs, stay healthy, and thanks for another well-played, competitive season.

(Preview)
ah, those one-run losses. i don't know how many the peppers have this year, but memory says it's about 5 or 6.
quick petition to kevin jackson: for the playoffs, we want to add one more player, if we may: his name is mariano rivera. (wonder if he'll work for free red peppers?)
like jimmy p., i'm bu...

WhizKids 1, Veterans 0
(Preview)
Darrell Duncan of the WhizKids and Artie Gianakos of the Veterans hooked up in a classic pitchers' duel, with the WhizKids winning 1-0. It was scoreless until one out in the bottom of the 7th, when pinchrunner Deane Fish scored from 3rd on a wild pitch. Darrell and Artie were especially tough with runn...

Bulletin Board Bashing
(Preview)
I debated with myself about making this posting but in the end I felt like I needed to.
The bulletin board is for game recaps and important league information. It should not be used to bash managers, players or teams.
Besides if the Orioles were to find out they can bash me in this forum you would...

Whiz Kidz 10, Blue Thunder 3
(Preview)
There is a “rule” in baseball, it is not whether you win or lose – it is how you play the game. Two teams converged on the 'A' Diamond Sunday, who played the game as baseball is always played, with commitment, drive and fun. Behind seven strikeouts and the five hit pitching of Dennis Pierce, the Whiz Kidz w...

Pirates 3, Blue Jays 0
(Preview)
Pirates enjoyed our second consecutive two-hit shutout behind the combined efforts of Richie Knaupp (4 IP) and Todd Calhoun (3 IP).
Offensively, it was weird: 12 hits, a BB and a HBP, a couple of WPs and two errors -- yet somehow we managed to parlay all that into three sad-assed runs. I'll have to d...

Blue Thunder 7, Hornets 3
(Preview)
With the skies threatening, the heat soaring and the infield dusty, the game must go on. Behind the six hit pitching of Rich Garbarino, the timely hitting of Pete Gennellis and Kevin McDonald and with the fielding of Jim Brearton, the Thunder walked off into the darkness with a 7-3 victory. The Hornet...

HIDDEN BALL TRICK
(Preview)
We had the "hidden ball" trick surface again. By way of clarifying: in Higfh School, the rule most of the CD-MSBL Umpires are familiar with, the ball must be in play and the pitcher must be completely off the dirt surface. Ny MLB rule, which we play, the following applies: Using Rule 8.05
