Rougarou Wins Fall 2023 Championship

Picture of the Rougarou baseball team in the fall of 2023 after winning the PBL Championship.

Another season has come to a close here in New Orleans. Last week, the Rougarou celebrated their first championship win before one final bout of rain drove the fans home and extinguished the fire.

Yes, it was a splendid morning matchup after a period in which the Baseball Gods seemed to not want the season to end. Now, with the Christmas Curtain lifting — and with it our spirits — we take time to reflect and revel in joyous memories.

Many happy returns to all of you. 2024 is shaping up to be a great year for baseball. Stay tuned for all the fun to come.

Congrats, Rougarou! See all y’all in the Spring!

PBL Three-Way Commentary

The first ever PBL Thre-Way between the Crete Street Riot, Fifth Ward Weebies, and Secret 9 began on December 7, 2023. Rougarou manager, Mike Krikorian took it upon himself to record some commentary starting in the top of the 17th inning, featuring color commentary from Kelley Engman, and whoever else felt like chiming in. Here it is.

Week 10 Recap – Fall 2023

It’s that special time of year again. That time where we all reflect on what we’re grateful for and that time to remember the first Thanksgiving. Yes, we here at the PBL look back in remembrance of Jesus breaking bread and carving the very first turducken for his disciples.

And aren’t we all disciples — disciples of baseball? We disciples are thankful for baseball and all of our PBL friends this Harvest Festival BYE week. With the regular season behind us, the playoff picture is coming into view with the traditional amount of late season chaos.

Enjoy these shots from this past Sunday, enjoy the week off, and we might see you Sunday still as rumors of pickup begin to circulate — stay tuned.

Week 8 Recap – 2023

Another week, another set of winners and losers. This reporter would love to say “we’re all winners here at the PBL” but that just simply isn’t the case. If you are picking up any cynicism from your favorite journalist, congratulate yourself and thank layoffs in tech for this sunny disposition.

But we’re not here to talk about me (well, kind of), we’re here to talk about Baseball! Baseball once again presented itself as the great egalitarian upon the humble and hallowed grounds of Perry Roehm. We love Perry Roehm with all its little hops. Bless you all who poop there during the 9am game.

Just a reminder, you can see yourself represented in these posts! Talk to your manager, talk to me, send little piccies of you and the homies having fun. Also, be nice to the umpires. Ask yourself and your teammates “am I or are we being nice and treating our fellow comrades and players like I want them to treat me?” There’s more than one way to be a winner and more than one way to lead. <— that’s the nice version of me making fun of you.

Week 5 Recap – Fall 2023

Wow, its Friday. Can you believe it? What an absolute week of a week. “What have you been doing instead of posting about PBL,” you ask? To tell you the truth, I’ve been playing this game ‘Inis’ and researching the differences between the Gregorian calendar and ISO 8601.

But let’s talk about baseball that doesn’t involve meme-ing the word “jawn” or defending the Astros with phrases like “everyone else was cheating too.” Yeah we’re looking at you, Milwaukee, but enough about that (go Snakes 🐍). Baseball has happened to us and continues to keep happening over-and-over again. Check out these pics and highlights from Sunday and teams please do not forget that it is in the rulebook that the home team is to supply beer and water to the umpires. ‘Dems the rules.
