One step forward, one step back

After the doubleheader with the Oilers, we're no worse off than we were. The split keeps us at 5 games back of the Bobcats and unfortunately still in 4th place. More road games ahead this week; tonight and tomorrow in Tradewater with the Pirates, then in Marion on Thursday with the Bobcats. We're playing .500 ball on the road so let's see if we can pick it up and gets some wins over the next 3 days. The guys return home on Friday to face the Cats and on Saturday against the Oilers. Sunday is another doubleheader in Owensboro. Time to get on our game and do some advancing in the standing! I'd really rather be breakdancing on the heads of our opponents. Come'on guys I know you can do it!

Good for Farmers, Not so good for Baseball

3 days in a row and 4 games postponed, our Railroaders just want to play ball. More bad weather in the entire OVL area, what's a baseball fan to do? At least rescheduling has began so we'll not miss out on anything, we'll just have to wait. The guys will be playing more games in the next few weeks to catch up, but they'll do. Maybe a good time to reflect on how we can mound a comeback in the standings.

Almost a Great Game

What a game, but we came up just a little short. We're close to being the team we need to be, so let's don't get too discouraged. There's still 3 quarters of the season left and the Railroaders are getting better each game. I know they haven't peak yet, and it's only a matter of time until we reach critical mass. One more with Pirates at home, let's take this one!

That's the way to play baseball

What a great game last night at the yard! Not only did we get our first home win, the Railroaders played with energy and enthusiasm like we haven't seen yet this season. Could it be that the train is on the right track now? Time will tell, but I have feeling we're heading for heights unknown. The thrills and excitement we experienced last night are just the beginning of a reversal in the spirit of our team. There's pently of baseball left and the Railroaders look to be real contenders at this point. Two more game with the Bucs in this series, one tonight at Tradewater then back to Fulton on Thursday night for the third game. Can hardly wait to see more of that high action baseball!

I'm soooooo confused....

I just don't understand and have no words of comfort.

Rain Out #1

The farmers in Owensboro where glad to see the Railroaders come into town yesterday. Seems everytime we go there, it rains and such was the case last night in the bottom of the 3rd. We had a 2-1 lead too. Oh well, back to Fulton for a doubleheader tonight. I miss the old Yard anyway. The food especially, can't wait to have some real ballpark hotdogs and nachos with jalapenos. Have to say, the trip was nice, but it's good to be heading back.

Just a couple of mental errors

I've had mental error many times in my life, but proper care has helped me reverse many of my brain's malfunctions. Just like last night's game, there are moments when I doubt my ability to overcome my lack of good sense. I've found though, I learn quickly and rarely make the same error again. So let's just pick it up here and go forward. Our player's skills are not in doubt, and their hearts are in the game. All we need to do is focus and keep our mind in the game. If we have a brain fart, let's get over it and get back into the fight. On to the Oilers!
