JCBI getting back into the swing of things
Finally JCBI has managed to get the game schedule back on track and things are beginning to look up. I can’t begin to express the amount of fustration that’s existed for the coaches, the boys and the parents this season. All of which I think can be tracked back to a lack of playing. The [...]

Monday, June 30, Taos Field JCBI won the first game 11-0 over the JC Jackhammers. Dan Haynes was the starting pitcher and picked [...]
JCBI: State Tournament
It was a tough tournament and the boys just didn’t look like themselves. Not much to say, it’s just been a really tough year and the boys can’t seem to catch a break. Character building is how you might refer to it, but as one parent pointed out. “Character building ended a month ago, this [...]

Saying what needs to be said
Speaking to our JCBI 13U boys. Boys, it’s time to see some life out of you on the ball field. You may remember, it was about this time last year as you played in the state tournament. You boys had a difficult early season back in 2007 and nobody was sure what to expect. But, [...]
Fathers Day Tournament
John Haynes catches us up in both league and tournament play this past weekend. Believe it or not, it finally stopped raining in St. Louis long enough to play a couple of baseball games. The JCBI 13U team picked up a 12-0 win in a BC League game last Wednesday. Joseph Limbach was the starting [...]
Will it ever stop raining?
I know. You’re all getting sick of reading my complaints regarding how crappy a ball season it’s been this year, but I just can’t stop myself. Out of seven games schedule this week, we’ve managed to play one and the odds of playing the remaining three this weekend don’t look good. If it wasn’t for [...]

Schools Out Tournament – rained out
It’s like a bad dream you can’t wake up from; JCBI’s tournament in St. Louis was rained out again. For those of you keeping score, this is the third tournament in a row. I know its been the wetest spring on record, but come on already, when the plan isn’t working, its time for a [...]
JCBI: The losing streak continues
Another ugly baseball evening for JCBI last Wednesday. Lots of frustration is building, and it’s pretty sad to watch these days. I don’t know, hopefully the team will pull it together, it’s awfully late in the season for our skills and especially our heads to be in such an ugly place. JCBI has a tournament [...]
JCBI: looses two in a row
… wow… I hope it’s just a bad night and not a sign of something more serious. This has been the strangest ball season I can remember. While other teams are improving and things are beginning to click, we seem to be going the backwards. It’s probably not the best advice, but my mom used [...]
JCBI: wins 15-5
A little late posting scores from last week, but posted nonetheless. John Haynes: The JCBI 13U baseball won a league game Wednesday evening at Twin Oaks, beating the JC Senators 15-5.

JCBI: Mother’s Day Classic – Rained Out!
Wow… JCBI 13U gets rained out again in another St. Louis tournament. Seems the ole weather man has got it in for us. Maybe it’s just be, but between league and tournament rain outs there’s been very little time for baseball this year. I’m ready to go back to Twin Oaks in Columbia, MO where [...]

JCBI Rankings
A few had asked so I figured I’d post here for everyone. The JCBI 13U team is currently ranked 7th in Missouri in points out of 46 teams. Points are awarded based on tournament placements, the higher you place the more points you are given. Obviously the more tournaments you play, the more points you’re [...]
JCBI: Two for Tuesday
During a pair of league games Tuesday night in Jefferson City, JCBI took on the Steelers followed by the Jackhammers, winning both games 13-3. The boys were playing pretty well up until Coach Schreimann mentioned how well the boys were playing. And at that moment things went south, like someone threw a switch, literally the [...]
JCBI reclassified as AAA
Coach Cardwell delivered the news this evening, our 13U team has been bumped from AA to AAA. Looking at the record, I’m not sure how it’s justified, their record is pretty even wins/loss against AA and AAA teams, but it doesn’t really matter. Several folks in the organization wanted the boys to play AAA anyway [...]
