Week 9 Results/Standings
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!!!
Week 8 Update!
Greetings, electronic habitués of the great League.
It seems so often the thrills and blows of our weekly drama rise to a higher plane than a meager journalistic effort can account. It’s easy to lose track of our digital personae. But as we head into the final two rounds of seasonal play, let’s assess where the chips may lay.
You wanted competitive parity? We gave you competitive parity. Not one team has clinched a playoff spot as of this last week of October. Our highly skilled analysts have determined that not only are six teams in the running for a playoff spot, but they are also all in the running for 1st place. Additionally, a five way tie for 1st place is a possibility.
Leading off at the top of the charts, the retooled Fall ’19 Pelicans demonstrate a consistently deadly line-up backed up by big arm pitching and the most excellent outfield defense; add to it the veteran management of old man Fitzgibbon and… no surprises here, folks. Nice guys, those Pelicans, I wish ’em well.
Tied for second place, with a two-game losing streak that has no promise of ending this coming Sunday, we must accept the burden of asking the troubling questions that now present themselves. Has the internalized mythology of a once brutal and undefeated regime bred the inevitable sense of complacency and sloth? Have we seen in Parleaux the first signs of interior decay that all great empires must one day endure? Has the green machine wandered out with full confidence into the heart of Darkness, only to discover the pit of emptiness that is their own corrupted existence? Mad men slithering back to the capital steps, demanding wrathful vengeance for their very own crimes? Stay tuned!
And the Rougarou are looking good as all hell this year. Despite their best blundering efforts, they still find themselves inches from the crown. Your commissioner may have declared privately that this is the team to beat in 2019.
What else can be said about the eternal clusterfuck of love-hate continually exchanged between the Fifth Ward Weebies and their bedeviled foes in yellow? Except for the acknowledgement of a dark horse franchise willing to cast both of them back into the shadows of postseason irrelevance. Will the late season return of one Gabriel Goldstein serve as the keystone wedge in the neglected, ancient masonry of the Crete Street Riot? Shall old blades be remade new, and the crownless once again be made king?
All love and respect due to our young baby Blues holding it down in the cellar. I’ve heard that’s where the beer is coldest.
Fall 2019 Week 6 Results
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.
Fall 2019 Week 5 Results
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!
Fall 2019 Week 4 Results
Your Week 4 Results!
Fall 2019 Week 3 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).
