Stars 8 Pirates 8
Posted August 11, 2014
I'm late in submitting a game report for Saturdays tiff against the Pirates. I have found it troubling that because we tied we have to kiss our sister. That's just creepy. Whose idea was this anyways? And how did he know that a tie was like kissing your sister? He must have been from Arkansas. O...
Logo Update
Posted August 06, 2014
Just got back in town after trip down to Dallas to defend the Stars in the legal battle with the hockey Stars over use of the logo. I'm happy to report that we have won the fight to use the logo. I captured the photo here showing the hockey Stars taking down the logo off of their team headquarters b...
BIG LAR IS EVERYWHERE
Posted July 27, 2014
Today's game was much like many we have played this season....except for one thing...BIG LAR a.k.a. The Big Mustache seemed to think he was the main event...BIG LAR was literally everywhere, in fact he was so everywhere he was nowhere. He insisted that he play all positions but the problem was he...

A few weeks ago I observed that Physios base running style in a game at Richmond had offended the entire Asian community. Well I was mistaken. Apparently they encourage what some might call unorthodox base running. Of course in this country we refer to it as @!?$&!?;##¥€#!? base running. Anyways...

The Stars were aligned today. At least I think they were. Hard to tell. The Sun was so bright it made it near impossible to see the stars today. Darn hot too. (In fact it makes no sense to say the ‘stars were aligned’ when it’s daytime and you can’t independently verify that they are.) There's a...
Greetings from Steve Garvey!
Posted July 10, 2014
As most of you probably know Steve Garvey was RickR's boyhood baseball hero. It's why he wears #16 in honor of the former Dodger great who wore #6. RickR had the privilege of meeting Steve recently when he made a guest appearance at a Canadians game (Steve made the guest appearance, not RickR.) Stev...
Legends 7 Stars 3 ... What?
Posted July 06, 2014
There's an old adage in baseball that says if a team’s hits equal their errors they will lose 100% of the time. Actually that's not true. It's not an old baseball adage. The part about losing is true, but I just made up the part about it being an old adage. However, it should be an adage. (BTW w...
Stars 10 Pirates 9 - UPDATED!
Posted June 26, 2014
Soccer sucks. There, I said it. I know you were thinking it, but I said it. How does soccer suck you say? It sucks because there is no way a team could ever possibly come back from being down three. Never in the entire history of soccer has a team ever come back from such a deficit. There isn't enou...
Stars 11 Monarchs 9
Posted June 21, 2014
The Stars won another one today beating the Richmond Monarchs 11 to 9 giving the Stars 8 wins in our last 8 games. This reminds me of a quote from the great Hall of Fame pitcher Christy Mathewson who said "You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat." Well suffice it t...
