I received an interesting comment from Willie yesterday. For those who don’t know, Willie managed the umpires for the BC League at Twin Oaks in Columbia, Missouri for the past couple years. Personally, I thought he was great, his son played some with Sam on the Mud Dawgs back in 2007. Willie was always pleasant, [...]
Wednesday evening the Dawgs took on the Barracudas in a double header. Sam had another chance to sub with the Dawgs as they only had 8 players with Sam. First games was a bit rough, but the Dwags somehow managed a 9-8 win in the second game –not bad for 8 players. [...]
Saturday Sam hooked up with the ole Mud Dawg team and played a couple games… sorta like old times. We miss those guys and their play hard, have fun attitude.
First up was the Sedalia Hurricanes and a 11-5 victory. Followed by the St. Louis Gamers and a hard fought 9-7 loss. The Dawgs managed [...]
One of our JCBI parents ran across this and shared it with our team. Nine Principles of Baseball and Life by Raymond Angelo Belliotti documents some pretty powerful words to live by, both on and off the field. I felt it’s worth sharing with the rest of you.
Baseball is about parents taking their children [...]
For years now I’ve been touting the BC baseball program at Twin Oaks in Columbia, Missouri. Simply put, I’ve felt there’s no better place to play baseball in central Missouri, and in my opinion, this league develops some of the best baseball players in Missouri –bar none. Teams make their way to Columbia every spring [...]
Hey, I’m getting better (faster?). After stressing about getting this season highlight video done, it’s finished, and almost 2 months earlier than last year!
What a blast this year was – a virtual whril wind for us. And once again, Jade, Larry, Bobby – you guys are amazing! Thank you for all your [...]
Wow – talk about falling behind. I discovered the other day that I forgot to post photos from the Grand Slam tournament back in June. Additionally, I’ve gone back and tweaked a bunch of the photos for color and clarity – a process that I skipped during the rush of the season.

As of today, I’ve abandoned the DigiBug ordering system of photos from this site and have replaced it with another. We’ll call it Phi’s Ordering System – not very creative, but since I’ll be the one fulfilling orders you can trust that it’ll get done. The pricing is a little more than DigiBug [...]
OK – nobody panic (including me), but a few kinks have developed with the photo ordering system. Isn't that how it always goes? You test and test, then finally release it to the public and the wheels fall off. Well, the wheels haven't really fallen off, but some of the orders have been delayed due [...]
Posted several new pictures from July 3rd (last game of the season). It was getting late and I didn't have my big lens so I just snapped a bunch of pictures of the sights around the ball field.
