Now that's what I'm talking about!

Great win, great play, and on the road. Can't wait for the guys to get back to the Yard and do the same thing again to the Bucs tomorrow night. Good Job!!!!!

After extensive thought

I usually do most my serious thinking early in the morning after I've hauled myself out of bed. And of course, at this time of year, the Railroaders occupy an considerable amount of that time. I realize I sometimes forget that each year a new batch of guys (for the most part) come here to play. A wise comment from "Anonymous" points out, "its early" and that is correct. There are adjustments to be made and I'm sure Matt & Tate are working on them. It is only 2 games and there's pently more to be played. Win or lose, I have faith these Railroaders will generate some trills and chills in the coming weeks. I'm feeling better already, but I admit the sooner the better for me!

Time to go face the Pirates. Big job ahead, they are a rough team by design. The Raiders of baseball! This will be a good test for the team and a little voice inside me says our Railroaders will handle them well. But let me get back to you on that, there's more thinking to be done.

Great Food!

Like I said, the BBQ sandwiches at the Yard are the best I've had. I even enjoyed the Nachos. Next home game is Wednesday with the Pirates. But first the boys go to Tradewater on Tuesday and see if winning on the road is in their future.

Shock Therapy

Now that I've received my treatment, I think everything will be okay. Of course I waited until after the game last night to take it, didn't want to alarm anyone in the stands above. It was a hot night for temps and cat bats. And although the oven in the Yard will be on again tonight, I think we can fire up the engine a little further and build up pressure a bit more, ya think? While the field is hot, the grandstands were quite cooler, in more ways than one. It's time for the Fans to get with it tonight. The Relay for Life was last night and we still had 200 at the game. Tonight is Chamber of Commerce so there be more out to Yard to support the Railroaders. One thing I can say good about last night was the Food! Man those BBQ sandwiches with slaw were some of the best scrapes I every eaten.

Time to get the Train rollin'

Well it's near time to get the Railroaders 2011 season ride underway. There appears to be a fine squad of Railroaders assembled for another winning year and a run for the first ever OVL championship. The first opponent this year is the Marion Bobcats. The Bobcats were 22 wins - 26 loses overall last year and had a 16-24 record with the league only. The Railroaders were 27-14 overall in 2010 and 29-15 within the league. Head to head in 2010, the Railroaders were 8-2 over the Bobcats. Marion's club is now under a new manager as are the Railroaders. It will be an interesting opening game for both team. I can hardly wait, and think I'll head to Yard now to at least see if the food is cooking! Sure to be pently of Fans out tonight, so the dropping will be pentliful. See you at Game!

All Abroad

I hear you, Boilerstoker! It’s about time to load up the train and get this show on the road. And we welcome back Rattler who has return from the great northwest. I hope there is room enough for all 3 of us to be part of the Railroader crew. I'm not sure management will put up with us too much, but we are good at eating up the leftovers.

These 2011 Players are lookin’ good and I think we can expect some exciting baseball this season. They practice looked good today and I'm already starting to believe in these guys. Even in the heat, their were going at. They seem to quickly adjust to the Yard and I'm sure they'll be ready for the Bobcats on Friday.

It’s great to get back to the Yard, the field is in good shape and the grandstand is ready. The smell of freash Railroader Dogs will soon fill the air, and with the players and fans we’ll begin the season tomorrow in grand style. I'm really looking forward to the nachos!
