Improve to 12-5 for the SeasonSorry for the delay in posting this recap. I had to put the memory of my inning on the mound behind me. Congratulations to J-Rod for his two big bombs and to Mike Clay for his first HR of the season.PitchingGive J-Rod the win even though we pulled him after the second inning with a 15-0 lead. It was over. Doug, Daniel, and Mo pitched strongly in relief.BattingAside

Well, there's good news and bad news. First the bad news: We pretty much stunk today and are looking at an uphill battle. Now the good news: The Pacific Coast Breakers, the team we play tomorrow at 12:00 am, also lost (18-17) to the SD Mets. A win tomorrow will get us into the semifinal, most likely vs. the SD Mets.

Sox Get 26 Hits En Route to 11th VictoryExcellent hitting and good pitching led the way to a 7-inning 23-11 win vs. the Lugnuts. Jim McGaha (winning pitcher, HR, 2b), Mike Gross (4/4, on-base 6/6), and Daniel Harrison (4/5, double, save) all put in MVP-type performances.HighlightsPitchingJim gave us 5 excellent innings and picked up the win.

Good Pitching, timely hitting help Sox Improve to 10-5 Season RecordOn a day when the big bats didn't come alive, the Sox still managed to scrap together 11 runs to improve to 10-5 on the season. The Recap:PitchingBob gave us six strong innings for the win, marred only by a couple of defensive miscues (led by yours truly) that led to a couple of unearned runs in the sixth and put the Heat within

Sox Go To 9-5 on the SeasonWell, better late than never. Rallies in the 8th and 9th proved the difference as the Sox narrowly avoided getting swept by Tecolote for the season.HighlightsPitching - Tecolote punished us for a couple of errors in with a four-run first inning (2 unearned). Jim settled in and pitched a strong 3 innings. Daniel came on and gave us 6 outstanding innings, allowing just

Bats1.com Sox Memorial Day Tourney RecapThe Sox rebounded from a slow start, terrible umpiring in game 1, and brutal pool play schedule, to beat the 2-0 Nationals 19-6 and earn a berth in the 38 "Rookie" playoffs.The playoff semifinal matched the Sox against a 2-1 Ventura Cubs squad which had beaten the Sox earlier 14-2 in pool play. Ventura jumped out to an early 16-2 advantage thanks to 10

It wasn't pretty, but the extra tick in the win column looks good. Hey, it is nice to pick up a win on a day when just about everything that could go wrong, seemed to. When J-Rod hopped home with the winning run, you knew it was a special win.HighlightsHitting - We got a total of 21 hits and every Black Sox got at least one hit. We also had 7 BB/HBP against only 4 K's. This against a pretty good

Sox Swept by Wildcats: 12-2, 6-5High expectations were dashed by a very good Wildcats team on a day we just couldn't get all facets of our game working at the same time. We pitched, hit, and played defense well in stretches, but it seemed like we never clicked in all three areas at the same time. The Wildcats did and that was the difference.RecapPitching - Overall, I thought we got very good

18-11 (from the "correct" book) Win vs. Classic CardsWell, it wasn't pretty. I'd have to say it was probably our worst defensive game of the season with maybe 8 or 9 errors (I lost count) and a couple of other plays that should have been made. Fortunately for us, the Cards gave us more than a couple back too. Still, it was a win on a day when we didn't have our "A" game, and it could have been

Six HRs in First Three Innings Highlight WinSix HRs in the first three innings highlighted today's win vs. Los Monos. Hey, at this level any Home Run is a highlight, but Steve P.'s Grand Slam in the first and Mo's 2-HR day deserve special mention. Props also to Mike G. for his second of the season, Dennis for his third, and JROD for his first (of many, no doubt).HighlightsPitching - After

Another good win today, 22-8 vs. the Lugnuts. It was nice to have a full squad (12 players) and Steve back. Highlights:PitchingWe got outstanding pitching performances from Jim and Daniel today, with Jim giving up two runs in four (4) strong innings and Daniel stuffing a Lugnuts rally in the sixth and giving up a single run in two innings. Mo finished up strongly, giving up one run in the final

For a change, this didn't suck too bad. A 9th inning come-from-behind win over a quality opponent... nice job guys.Where to begin with the recap.... should I start with my second-inning two-out, 2-RBI hit to knot the score at 5-5, or should I hop forward to my seventh-inning, 2-RBI hit to put us ahead 13-12? Or perhaps my 9th inning "walk-off" 2-run infield "single" (thanks Mike for the generous

Nothing against Tecolote, they are good guys and have some quality players and they made some big plays today, but I believe we are a better ballclub than our results have shown so far. It just seemed like everything that could go wrong today did, including having to finish up with 8 players due to an untimely and unfortunate injury.I spoke with Steve last night. He is doing OK, it looks like

Well, better late than never... congratulations on picking up a big 19-6 win over the *previously* unbeaten San Diego A's last Sunday. Thanks to Mike Gross for running the team in my absence and for hitting a grand slam (and 3/5 hitting). I know you guys aren't used to that kind of production out of the manager's batting spot... I'll have to try and step it up for the rest of the season.Every

Another tough loss 6-4 vs. The Dudes.Highlights:Pitching - another excellent performance by Huffy, allowing just 4 earned runs in 9-innings against a good hitting ballclub. Huffy gave up just 8 hits and 5 BBs, striking out 6.Hitting - We managed only 6 hits and tied the team record for strikeouts with 15. Every Black Sox player (who batted) struck out at least once, another record. We left too

It wasn't the result we wanted obviously, but nice job today anyways. We battled a lot of adversity, coming together for the first time without a real practice, and a little shorthanded, with only 9 players available for the game.I can't wait to get Daniel and Mo (and Bob) out and we may look at another one or two players who might be able to help us replace some of our late losses. We have a

This was another tough one. The Sox rallied from an early 5-0 deficit to pull to a 6-6 tie and eventually lose 7-6. We managed just eight (8) hits against Eric, one of the better pitchers in the league. Highlights Pitching - Jim gave us another strong outing, working 4 2/3 innings and giving up just two earned runs. He fought out of major jams in the first two innings caused mostly by errors.

I am calling this the "Blame it on Joey" edition of the Black Sox recap. Not that I want to blame Joey so much as Joey said after the game to blame it on him. In my ongoing quest to do whatever it takes to make this team happy, I am hanging this loss squarely on his shoulders. Seriously, Joey came to the plate with one out and the Black Sox needing a baserunner and had his best hit of the season,

Black Sox, Beginning with our 10/24 game I will be publishing our recap in a Weblog, or Blog. You will be invited to join the Blog, which will give you an email update of the game recap and allow you to post comments, or your own topics for discussion. It's efficient, democratic, and proves once and for all, that I don't always have to have the last word. -Dan
