Now that's getting the job done!

What a job the Railroaders have done over the last 10 games, winning 8 and now have won 5 straight. It was time for our move and the guys did just what had to be done. The mid-season point has been reached and the Railroaders are making their statement. The team play has just been outstanding. Now that we have the lead in the standings, let’s remember one important thing, we are the target now! Getting there is one thing, holding it is another. We got our pace and need to maintain it now for the second half of the season. The train is pulling out for Farmington next and up to the dark reaches of the Missouri. Let’s remember the Firebirds have started to show signs of life and have won a few games of late. Let’s head up there and do the same thing we’ve done here at home the last 3 nights, sweep, sweep, sweep! That reminds me, I need to get back to cleaning up all the flies I took out tonight. Sleep tight, Railroaders, and go get the Birds for 3.

  6. The Farmington team situation is nearly like the one Fulton had in its first year. Terrible win/loss, bad player moral, etc.

    Then, two years later, Fulton won the pennant and in its 4th year is back in 1st place. I hope we can encourage the Farmington team to hang in there.....better things are bound to come.

  8. Another sweep and maintaining throttle at full. We're still ahead in the standings with Oilers waiting for 2 games with us on their field. Rest up guys, that haul ain't over yet and more work to get done. The Oilers are only a game behind (in 3rd I might add), with the Bucs back a half game in the middle. Keep up the good work!
