Well, that was slightly surprising. Kershaw had a terrible game and got chased with 101 pitches and 3 runs scored in the 5th. The Dodgers (92 – 71) Bullpen was up to the task however and shut out the Nationals (95 – 68) for the final 4. The Nationals contributed to their own problems with …

2016 Senior League Division Series: Game 2, Giants @ Cubs
So where was Dodgers @ Nationals? Rained out because of Matthew. Re-scheduled for 1 pm tomorrow. Tonight’s game is on MLB Net and as it turns out I do get it in my current location at North Lake where I am enduring some time with Richard and Emily. Damn Leafers. In any event if you …

2016 Senior League Division Series: Game 1, Giants @ Cubs
You might think I’m down on the Giants (88 – 75) because they beat my Metropolitans but considering how lucky they were to be in it at all I can’t hold that against them. If I betray any bias at all it’s because it’s been a very, very long time for the Cubs (103 – …

2016 Senior League Division Series: Game 1, Dodgers @ Nationals
The Brooklyn Traitors vs. the Division Rivals. Who do I hate the least? Sigh. I guess it’s the Nationals (95 – 67) because my cousins from D.C. like them a lot and and my hatered for the Quislings of Chaves Ravine is deep and undiminished by time. Despite a weaker Regular Season record, the Dodgers …

2016 Junior League Division Series: Game 2, Red Sox @ Indians
Ok, now I can make reassuring noises for Red Sox (93 – 70) fans. Even though Divisional Series are short, it’s not “Sudden Death”. The Red Sox played the Indians (95 – 67) tough, it was a 1 Run game and the Indians had Home Field advantage. What did you expect? It’s not the crowd …

2016 Junior League Division Series: Game 2, Blue Jays @ Rangers
Well, not only did they lose at home, but it was a 10 – 1 thumping. Rangers’ (95 – 68) ace Cole Hamel who on paper and previous history looked nigh unbeatable got shocked for 6 Earned Runs before he left the game in the 4th Inning. After that it was just going through the …

2016 Junior League Division Series: Game 1, Red Sox @ Indians
Stars Hollow is kind of viscerally split between Yankees fans and Red Sox fans and they hate each other with the passion of a thousand burning suns. Likewise, as you get closer to the City there is a split between the Yankees and Metropolitans. So here I am yesterday, deep in the heart of Red …

2016 Junior League Division Series: Game 1, Blue Jays @ Rangers
Frankly the Rangers have been a stain on Baseball ever since they were the Washington Senators, unimproved by the part ownership of W who may or may not make an appearance at today’s game. Unfortunately they have the best record in the Junior League (95 – 67) which is why they face the Wild Card …

2016 Senior League Wild Card Game: Giants @ Metropolitans
MEET THE METS, MEET THE METS, Step right up and greet the Mets! Bring your kiddies, bring your wife; Guaranteed to have the time of your life Because the Mets are really sockin’ the ball; Knocking those home runs over the wall! East side, West side, Everybody’s coming down To meet the M-E-T-S Mets of …

2016 Junior League Wild Card Game: Orioles @ Blue Jays
What?! You’re wathing that Debate thing? It’s Vice-Presidential, who cares? On the other hand you could say the same thing about Junior League Baseball (it’s hardly Baseball at all really), still it is October and while I understand there’s some silly holiday and an election going on, the really important action is taking place between …
