The drought is over, the Champs are once again Champions of the IAL. Chicago had won ten championships in the first twenty two years, then there were a dozen years (six years no playoff berth) with no rings. There were only two other years in team history when the Champs…
KERNELS get Ryan Madson & Jim Johnson HIGHLANDERS get Michael Young & Jayson Nix ANALYSIS I knew the Highlanders would obtain Young from the Kernels, but thought it would be in exchange for Miguel Tejada, because Kentucky needed SS & Moore needed 3B. Madson & Johnson will provide bullpen depth,…
Nothing like getting beat 5 games to 1 over Skype. Teddy and his Champions ate me up like this morning’s breakfast today while we played our March series for the Illowa APBA League. Maybe I was paying too much attention to the Illinois baseball game in the background (they won…
