What an exciting day of baseball yesterday! The Secret 9 bested the Rougarou to even up their records at 5-4 a piece. The Pelicans battled hard to stave off the Blues once again, and they each remain in 1st and 7th place respectively. And despite an early 1-run lead, the Fifth Ward Weebies succumbed to Parleaux’s superior batsmanship and defense, advancing Parleaux to the sole 2nd place spot at 6-3, and knocking the Weebies down to 6th at 4-5.Don’t forget our final week of regular season play has four games, with a Tuesday night game at St. Roch Park at 6:00 PM. The Saints have a bye next Sunday, daylight savings time ends (allowing you an extra hour of sleep), and our Sunday games will be played consecutively at 12:00, 3:00, and 6:00 at Perry Roehm Stadium. You have no excuse not to come—Po Boy Fest be damned, there’s October baseball to watch. Many things will be determined in these last four games, as six teams still vie for four playoff spots. The lingering questions on everyone’s minds: Who will win the clash of the titans between the 1st place Pelicans and 2nd place Parleaux? Will the Blues get a win in their last chance of the season? (If so, we will be selling the film rights to their story to Disney). Who the hell is playing in the playoffs? Will the Nationals get their act together in Houston?
BASEBALL!!!

Greetings, electronic habitués of the great League.

Ladies and gentlemen, your results and standings for the People’s Baseball League Fall 2019 Season Week 6.
The Pelicans pacified Crete Street’s Riot with their mighty majesty. Parleaux nearly dropped a loss to the winless Blues in a surprise one-run game continuing the Blues’ blues. Rougarou tore out the tattooed neck of the Fifth Ward Weebies revealing that Weebies do in fact bleed purple.

Wowza! What a Week 5 in the PBL. The Blues are still struggling to find a win, and they could not coax one out of the ferocious Rougarou. The Pelicans dropped an atomic bomb on the Weebies with the largest single-game run differential in the league’s recorded history. And the Secret 9 capitalized on an early lead and a time limit despite a late-game comeback from Crete Street Riot. Also the @saints beat the @seahawks!

Your Week 4 Results!

Week 3 arrived, and no level of heat advisory could stop the people from playing three outstanding games of baseball. Remember the catchy age-old PBL motto: When the City of New Orleans tells you to stay inside on account of extreme heat, don’t listen and play three games of baseball instead. The freshman Blues were blinded by Crete Street Riot’s bright orange and teal colors, the Weebies’ punk rock guitars drowned out S9’s trumpet, and Parleaux tamed the Rougarou with dad jokes. It was a visitor’s sweep proving that it’s easy to overcome home field advantage if you just play better and score more runs than the other team. We’ll see you on Sunday red-eyed and groggy for the season’s first 9 AM game!
And, come out tomorrow (Wednesday, Sept. 11) 6-8 pm for a field maintenance day at Perry Roehm Stadium. BYOS (bring your own shovel).
