Game On!

We're on the back edge of the rain now, there ought to be nothing falling about the time that the gear arrives at 9am. Your shoes may get damp on the long walk from Lloyd's Diner to sign in, but we've got numbers and you might have 5+ months to dry out your shoes. Get in the car! Play ball!

And Now There Are 20

While life has gotten in the way for a few, we're still looking at enough to play. Keep an eye on the sky for the scattered showers, which ought not be bad enough to wash out the game. Around 8:15am, we'll make that determination, but even if light rains come, they will go, you won't melt, and we will play!

3:30pm update: Still at 20 .... play ball!

Game(s) On

The numbers look good for games this week and next, then get even better for October 25th and November 1st - both games could be a season-high!

October 10, 2:24pm update: We're now at 17 for tomorrow. Historically, this announcement has brought even more out of the woodwork. So play ball!

October 10, 7:52pm update: holding at 17. So go to bed (or at least pass on that last drink) ... and dream of donuts both on your bat and in boxes by the dozens near the sign-in sheet until 9:45am!

... and look for the basketball court to find the baseball field. The former landmark, a big concrete grandstand, has vanished!

At Least 3 More Weeks But Not Today

A tough call. But no game.

This week's rain likely filled the bowl in which this week's permitted field sits. Even though the rain has gone, a long week of forecasted rain into this morning surely beat down our numbers. So will 50 degree temps (with a windchill into the 40s.) In contact with 4 players this week, all were out for the week. The numbers simply wouldn't be there for a full game.

Stay in your PJs and watch the 9:30am battle for 2nd place in the AFC East, go out for brunch, take her to the in-laws or The Big E, catch the Red Sox finale. We'll come out swinging next week.

Three more weeks of games, four or more if the temps rebound and interest stays strong.
