Red Sox and Rays Brawl

No one was hurt during the brawl between the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays, but it's fun to watch. It just goes to show how our kids are more grown up than most grown ups. One thing for sure, the batter and pitcher do not need to give up their baseball career for boxing....Ha!

Mt Carmel Park Curse Haunts The Bucks!!!

Well Mt. Carmel pulled out their little pack of Bucks VooDoo dolls and jinxed the boys again. The curse of Mt Carmel Park is still haunting the Bucks. With terrible officiating, bad calls and just plain bad luck the Bucks fall 7-0 in their first tournament game of the year. The boys played a whale of a game with good hitting, pitching, and defense. The Bucks had two amazing pick-offs at second base and Logan Cox caught a high pop fly in center field, but again the curse took over and bad calls were made in critical points of the game. The Videos have been uploaded to Bucks TV!

Ben May would like to hold an exorcism on the park this evening after practice to remove the curse on our boys before the game Saturday. Just a little humor there. Ben, a big thanks needs to go to you for your support through the season doing the job that many don't like doing...STATS! Thanks Brother May.

The Bucks next game is Saturday at 4:30 and I believe it is against our Arch Nemesis, Hazel Green. Let's keep it alive Bucks and take this to the end. There isn't a team we have played that we can't beat. We are so proud of you. GO BUCKS!!!

Inspiration For The Tournament!

I want all the kids to see this video before we go into our tournament. This is the heart all the guys need to play with. This kid is an inspiration not only to to the boys but to the parents as well.

Party At The Murrays!!!!

After the Bucks two victories against Blue Water, Jonathon Murray's family invited the team over for a Water Slide and cookout party. The food was great, with Ribs, hotdogs, pasta salads, potato salads, chips, drinks and wonderful deserts! The Boys and their sisters had a great time playing on the slide and in the sprinklers. Wouldn't you know it... a game of kick ball breaks out and the competition was fierce. Coach Steven (Da' Prince) was still in coaching mode and barking out push-ups to the players that missed the ball. Coach Tony inflicted pain on Josh his sunburned catcher with a throw to first and Josh's mom goes after Coach Tony to inflict some pain on him...It was Hazel Green all over again.... HA! The BBB's were in their element sitting under the tent watching the game of kick ball and screaming at the coaches.....

Enjoy this little clip of the party!

THE BUCKS WIN! THE BUCKS WIN!

The Bucks were on their game Saturday as they win both games in the Doubleheader against the Blue Water Bad News Bears. In the first game, the Bucks Defense was awesome, picking players off and throwing good pitches to the bases. The hitting has improved with many of the players getting singles and doubles. Justin Rackley, #33, hit an infield homerun bringing two other runs in. Taylor's, Brian's and Justin's pitching was terrific as we held the Bears to 5 runs in our 11-5 victory.

Games 2 started off with the Bucks on fire again with 4 runs scored the first inning and holding the Bears to 1 run. The second inning the Bucks scored 5 runs and again held the Bears to a single run in a 9-2 victory. All Bucks scored a run in a rare event that we hope happens many times during the Tourney.

The Bucks are getting ready to head into the tournament to be held at Mt. Carmel. Coming off the two wins the Bucks are confident they can beat the first team. Practice begins tonight from 7:00 to 9:00. When I receive the practice and game schedules I will post them on the blog.

Sorry about not having any video, we were short a coach and I filled in.

Go Bucks!!!
