The Planetary Extreme Baseball Alliance

While my AAA team choked in the playoffs Congrats to my Maine Lobsters winning their 2nd Championship in a row and 3rd in 4 years.

Now time for some PEBA playoff baseball for Virginia.

Yes, Rob's grand slam seemed to have an effect in Game 2

We'll see how things go tonight. I still think the balance is in favor of the Gnats here...we'll see if we can get something going over the next two games in Crystal Lake. For the Codgers, the ex-Floridian Félix Garza will take the mound in Game 3, while Luis Monsalve, a little-known product of the Palm Springs system who did well this season, will be thrown into the fray in Game 4.

Are you ready for Game 5 Denny!? Oh my! Nice win in the top of the 9th to force game 5 back in Palm Springs.

I think we all suspected this would be a close series and it surely has turned out to be that! I'm glad I am not watching the replays in real time--I would be a nervous wreck Thank heavens for Thomas Woods; he has been huge for Palm Springs so far.

I am envious of the Gnats' seemingly endless supply of healthy top starters. Tatsui Kouno would probably be the #2 in Palm Springs....Crystal Lake can run him out fresh as a daisy for Game 5, or go back to McNeil. Meanwhile we have no choice but to send Guerra back out to the mound for the deciding tilt.

In the series civil war of brother against brother, I would have to give the nod to big bro Rob over Royce these first four games. Will one of them come up big in Game 5? We'll have to tune in Monday at 8:05 Pacific to find out!

Hey Denny! Still haven't decided who to put out there for game 5. I've studied the stats and there's plus and minus to any decision we make.

Agreed with the Raines brothers! Could this be the time that youth prevails? All good things do come to an end eventually. The Gnats clutch luck will eventually run out. I'll be biting my nails or what's left of them until game time!

I do like the additional playoff money with these extra games

GO GNATS

T-breds get some much needed rest thanks to a first round 3-game sweep ... 3 second-basemen have been on DL or playing injured so we were forced to use Barton from AAA to start the games in that series.

Top starter 'Slayer' will not see any action this post season and neither will 2025 Royal Raker Pedro Rodriguez out since July 1st. It has been our depth that brought us this far.

SS-A Barrow is still alive despite playing in single digit conditions, can they get to Hawaii?

Wow single digit playing conditions!

YEP NO JOKE... LAST 2 GAMES THEY PLAYED AT HOME 2 DEGREES 13MPH WIND AND 6 DEGREES 21MPH WIND ... AT LEAST IT WAS SUNNY

How the hell did any runs get scored! They must have played in parkas!

Mokule'ia's last home game it was 24.4º...

The Barrow team has Polar Bear skin coats dyed in team colors with an extra large logo.

That's great .... if you like that kind of weather .....

I am hoping Duluth can take advantage of the injuries that Evas has and pull out a winning series. They spanked us 9-3 head to head during the season.

Another exciting chapter in the Aurora-Crystal Lake Saga is about to begin... It's been a weird season on The Front Range, so we have no expectations...

We are all locked and loaded for the sim, btw...

3-Peat for Single-A Rosarito Monjas Del Vuelo. Article coming out in next day or 2....

Wow here we go again Mike.

Hey Denny. Congrats on a good season. I am really surprised that CL was able to pull out that series. I thought you had us.
