Let's spill some Oil tonight

With only 8 games left, it's time to get it done now. The Oilers are coming to town tonight and we need wins! First place seems out of reach at 5 1/2 games back, but not impossible with a little help from the other teams. To secure 2nd place is within our control, but it will take work. Let's put the 4 losses behind us and finish with a good winning streak beginning with Owensboro. They won't go quietly into the good night, but we have the team to put them and the others away.  It's going to be a busy week and lots of baseball playing, but that's why we're here.

Let's First it Up!! 

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil

We have been, are, and always will be Railroaders Fans, but what's going on? We failed to observe the Railroader team spirit last night which we have seen, heard and spoke of over the last few weeks.  Don't you think it's time to get back on track and play some "focus" baseball. We know you can do it! Let's pull it back together and get the "Fire" back into the game!

Hoppers in the Yard Tonight

Big game tonight with the 1st place Hoppers and Railroaders 4 1/2 games behind in 2nd place. Nine times our guys have faced Hoptown and six games have been won by the Roaders. Both teams played their last game on Friday with the Hoppers coming away with the victory. Tonight is the final game between the two in the regular season and time for the Railroaders to get back on their winning ways. 

I expect the Hoppers to play hard and fast tonight, as they'll want to take this last game with the Railroaders. But the Railroaders are ready too and plan to pick up a game tonight. The Railroaders have 9 games left and the Hoppers have 8 remaining. The Railroaders have really gotten stronger as a team and we're expecting a strong finish to the season. Time toget serious in the Yard tonight for a tough game.

Fire it Up!

Let's fix it and get going.

I think it's time to get the engine back on track! The 12 game winning streak was a good ride, but 3 straight losses is enough. Time is running out in the season and it would be nice to get back to the station on time Sunday after a win in Owensboro on Saturday. 

The OVL teams will not go lightly into the good night, so let's pick it up and get the job done. We're 4 1/2 games back of the Hoppers now with the Pirates breathing down our neck on a game behind us.  Big games over the next week. Time to "Fire it Up" like there's no tomorrow!

Big Game Rained Out

Our big game with the Hoppers tonight in the Yard has been postponed as the sky opened up and washed us out. Question now is when? Railroader management is working on it. Sure hope they come up with a good date "At the Yard!" We only have 2 more games with the Hoppers and one of those is in Hoptown.  We want to see the other at home in Fulton  like it should be.

Guess we'll have to wait for the outcome to see what happens next.

UPDATE: We play this game on Sunday, July 15 at 7 pm. In the meantime, the Railroaders hit the road again to Marion on Wednesday, Hoptown on Friday, and Owensboro on Saturday. Next week is the final week of regular season play. Post Season Playoffs to following.  

Railroader guns go to Madisonville

First game final at 5-1 Railroaders

Oh poo...Pirates win game two at 8-3

Heading Home for the Bobcats

After a great win in Hoptown, the Railroaders are heading for the Yard to take on the Bobcats tonight. The Cats had a day off yesterday and won their last game over the Oilers on Friday night. Marion has one win in their last six games, and I'm sure they are wanting to take the Railroaders down. However, our Roaders are HOT and I don't mean because of the weather. Another victory tonight and we'll gain a half game on the Hoppers. Baseball in Fulton today will be the only action in the OVL. 

  

The Railroaders have faced the Bobcats in 6 games thus far this season and have only come away with 2 wins. I say it's time to reverse this trend and take them down. Marion plays tough against us, but we got a team that has really come together over the past 2 weeks.

  

My road trip is over as well and its time for me to catch a train back to Fulton. Hoptown has been good to me, but I'm looking forward to getting home and a nacho win tonight.  

Fire it Up!

Hey Marlene, do you have anything to add?

Hey Guys,

Do you need me to distract the Cats tonight?
