[quote=""Bonhomme2010""]Jamie Keefe made the worst blunder in signing Angel Molina for the last month of the season. Another ex-Colonial. Let's look at some stats to see where I'm coming from with that statement. Going back to the 2010 season, the Colonials were going nowhere fas...

Sounds like the feeder league idea Boulton has floated off and on over the last decade. I can't imagine a worse idea than an affiliated-independent league; the worst of both worlds. No prospects, but there's still a parent team that can strip your hometown team of it's stars mid-season. Just think h...

The Atlantic League has floated the idea of a feeder league off and on for ten years now. An independent feeder league is a contradiction in terms. Selling casual fans on indy ball is hard enough, nevermind the local sports writers. Imagine the editorials that would accompany the news of a group of ...

[quote=""QuebecCapitalesFan""] I thought the Tornadoes wearing Grays jerseys, because their regular jerseys were confiscated, was hilarious. ALLEZ LES CAPS!!!![/quote] Yeah......hilarious..... Whatever actually happens, I think that an eighteen season run is impressive as hell. I...

Probably the only team healthy enough to join the AtL is Quebec. I think we all thought Brockton could've made the jump also, but if they can't handle travel to the midwest, I can't see why we should expect they can afford a longer season. If the CanAm doesn't make it, I think Quebec opts for the AA...

Let me get this straight: Brockton, one of the three flagship franchises in the league, gets to sit out a season that will see a significant increase in travel expenses while the ever-rumoured-to-be-folding Tornadoes are gonna make the bus trips to a succession of cities where one announcer after an...

[quote=""shawa666""]This ownership group didn't sprout off from QCF's imagination. It's been publicly known since at least this summer and reported on by the local media.[/quote] My point still stands. Until those investors actually buy a franchise, Wolff has to take teams where ...

[quote=""QuebecCapitalesFan""]I always knew Pittsfield wouldn't work in the Can-Am League. It took Miles 2 years to figure that out. Trois-Rivieres was staring right in his face with a refurbished stadium and all, but I still think putting teams in Pittsfield, Newark and Ramapo, ...

[quote=""minorleaguebb""]BerkshireFan you should take sometime to get your facts straight... The NECBL isn't coming back to Pittsfield... It's a whole new league thats looking to coming in the Futures Collegiate Baseball League (FCBL), which is looking to expand. [/quote] I know ...

[quote=""minorleaguebb""]Good luck to all the Pittsfield Players & Fan's, Thanks Buddy... You had no Chance with Miles in Charge ![/quote] Huh? I don't get it. Miles Wolff is to blame for the 800+ average attendance? I guarantee you that Buddy Lewis was relieved to not have t...
