Dugout Dirt 2051.8
The regular season having now been completed, your faithful correspondent felt a responsibility to objectively assess the Jacksonville Hurricanes' performance, both as a team as for some of its key players. To start with, the club's final record of 77-85, a .475 winning percentage that places them i...

Dugout Dirt 2051.7
From a recent Florida Times-Union (out of Jacksonville) story by veteran columnist Sam Spade on the sad state (and shaky future) of the local baseball team -- Do the Hurricanes have hopes for next season and beyond? To this reporter, it looks pretty bleak. We've all heard the reports of owner Tuck ...

Dugout Dirt 2051.6
Your faithful correspondent has been made aware of some tension between the Hurricanes owner, multimillionaire and Virginia Beach native Tuck Friar, and his new GM this season, Jack Whalen. Friar expressed great unhappiness on the team's progress -- more accurately, its lack thereof -- this season. ...

Dugout Dirt 2051.5
Jacksonville pretty much has been treading water the past two weeks, remaining just out (by 1.5 games) of wild card contention, and now two games above .500. The injury bug continues to plague the club. Just as veteran reliever Jorge Navárez returns, one of their better hitters this season, SS Larry...

Dugout Dirt 2051.4
The Hurricanes season has been a perfect bell curve -- albeit a reverse U. Starting out 10-2, they split the next two weeks, going 6-6 in all, and then went into a death dive over the last two weeks that nicely reversed the first two, going 3-10. Their record now stands at 18-19, 4.5 games behind th...

Dugout Dirt 2051.3
The Jacksonville Hurricanes felt the sharp jostle of reality -- to steal historian E P Thompson's phrase -- this past week, going 3-3 after a startling 10-2 start, and also losing 2 out of the 3 one-run games after going 6-0 in such games the first two weeks (yet still averaging 3 one-run games per ...

Dugout Dirt 2051.2
After rather mediocre Spring play, two weeks into the 2051 season the Hurricanes are off to what most might regard as a surprising good start, with a 10-2 record that stands as the best record in the Brewster and puts them in first place in the Jonson League's Atlantic Division. But is it actually s...

The Hurricanes are under a new GM, and owner Tuck Friar is cautiously optimistic and yet somewhat patient as well. Friar told GM Jack Whalen, who just took over this week — a day after the Canes were bounced from the playoffs in three straight by the Frontier Division's Mexico City Aztecs — that he ...

Re: GM Change, Charm City Jimmies
Hey Dave! Great that we ended up in the same division (again). So I guess we can transfer the Jerusalem-Manama rivalry to Charm City-Jacksonville?

Thanks to all for the warm welcome. Really looking forward to the BBA!

Manama musings 2.0
Whelp, it's the post-season once more, and once more the Manama Pearls are meeting the Jerusalem Hebrew Hammers in a best of 7 series for the Burt League title, just as they did last season. But this season it's the Hammers who are in the driver's seat, having finished 10 games ahead of the wild car...

Manama musings 2.0
How things have changed for Manama over the past month - and plainly not for the better. A league lead that was once 5.5 games has become a deficit of the same magnitude to the surging Jerusalem Hebrew Hammers. Ok, the Pearls are pretty much a lock for the Burt wild card, what with their 12.5 game l...
