PLAYOFFS Start Sunday Morning

The playoff schedule is done and it is with great regret we cannot get all the teams into the playoffs.  Because of the Daylight Savings time change and the fact that we have only three weeks left on our permits, we simply cannot accommodate more than eight teams.  The Parks Dept has already warned us [...]

Final Sunday – Schedule DONE

Its done – please check the schedule carefully. We simply made a minor change to the 4pm games.
Playoffs must start Sunday Nov 1st. Some important notes about our playoff system:

Top 8 teams make the playoffs – high seed vs low seed (1vs8, 2vs7, 3vs 6, 4vs5)
Tie breakers are determined by head-to-head record, then Run Differential

Week 5 Review

The big showdown between Knockout and the Westlanders was the big letdown.  Knockout beat up on a depleted and tired Westlander team and squeezed into a first place tie with the Trojans.
Chaos squeezed out a win against the upstart Orioles in extra innings. The Orioles came up short a run as the wining run was [...]

Westlanders vs Knockout – finally!

Dio vs Ric (Jersey mafia). Fran vs Gil (english vs spanish trash talk). Edgar jr vs Gubi (pastelito showdown). Gonna be crazy.
Important Notes:
1. SCHEDULE [...]

Written By Ricardo Ronda
Before we get to the championship we need to talk about the wild finish to the Westlanders (WL) – Criminals semi-final series.Game 3 was continued Sunday in freezing temperatures with the game all tied at 4 a piece. The Criminals struck quickly with a run in the top of the 8th however, [...]

Down But Not Out!

Westlander’s fearless leader has been stricken with a bum appendix.  It’s been removed and he’s recovering fine. Hopefully, for his own good, he will not show up Sunday. Do you think he will? (see poll below picture) or Read Ric’s reason why he will…
