It’s Miller Time. “He Missed The Tag!!!” Ok, I couldn’t resist. Video quality still sucks though. Things look kind of bleak for the Brewers who confront the Dodgers tonight facing elimination. On the other hand they’re at home. Everyone is on short rest (with a travel day) but with the Brewers’ alternative being Golf (the …

2018 Junior League Championship Game 5: Red Sox @ Astros
I’ll not kid you, the Red Sox could end it right here and that would be fine with me since I could worship at the altar of The Great God Citgo in the Series (this is a Series, League Championship, there is only one Series). Up 3 games to 1, who could possibly screw that …

2018 Junior League Championship Game 4: Red Sox @ Astros
So after yesterday’s thumping victory we are destined to worship again at the altar of The Great God Citgo, and so I shall regale you with more tales of the Hub, as they like to think of themselves. Before I studied there Richard invited me on a business trip he was taking to brainstorm some …

2018 Senior League Championship Game 5: Brewers @ Dodgers
The Dodgers took 13 Innings last night to claw their way back into a tie. It shouldn’t have been so hard and the Brewers are still going back to Miller Field. It is the final game at Chavez Ravine (we hope) and even if they leave 2 – 3 the Brewers will have the advantage. …

2018 Senior League Championship Game 4: Brewers @ Dodgers
Meanwhile in Chavez Ravine we already know we will be returning to Miller Park since the Brewers cemented their Split yesterday. Yes they used Hader but they didn’t use him long. In the Regular Season he never went more than two games in a row but that doesn’t mean he can’t and what about World …

2018 Junior League Championship Game 3: Red Sox @ Astros
So we’re about to find out if we visit The Great God Citgo again, remember the Red Sox need only win one of three to regain home field advantage. Their Game 2 victory wasn’t convincing but it was solid enough, if the offense stays in gear and they don’t have to hit the Pen too …

2018 Senior League Championship Game 3: Brewers @ Dodgers
So we’re in Chavez Ravine which was both inevitable and by design, the Dodgers having accomplished what they needed to do which is achieve a Split. It may be we will never see Miller Park again this season if the Dodgers sweep at home. Or the Brewers could end it away if they’re extremely lucky …

2018 Junior League Championship Game 2: Astros @ Red Sox
So not the result I hoped for. Ok, since it’s entirely possible that we won’t get a chance to worship at the altar of The Great God Citgo again I’ll tell you this story which is relevant and self contained. Among the things I have done is chasing L’Hermione up and down the East Coast …

2018 Junior League Championship Game 1: Astros @ Red Sox
I don’t hate the Red Sox any more than I have to. I mean sure I’m a Metropolitans fan but I mostly don’t care what happens in the Junior League at all and to the extent that some of my fellow enthusiasts hate the Yankees (basically envy, Yankee fans don’t notice us at all), I …

2018 Senior League Championship Game 2: Dodgers @ Brewers
Pitching Fest! Well, kinda sorta for a while. The Brewers went with a strategy called “Bullpenning” where you don’t expect a pitcher to last more than 3 Innings, something that you can only do if you have a bench full of Relievers. In the Regular Season it’s of limited utility (162 games) but in Playoffs …
