Touch ‘Em All – Wednesday, September 23, 2009

by PTownFan

Just under a dozen games left to play in the regular season for Jonny Gomes and Brandon Morrow.   Tommy Everidge’s Triple A season ended with a thud as the Memphis Redbirds swept the Rivercats, ending their Three-Peat attempt for the AAA crown.  Dirty birds.  How ’bout we move that Rivercat franchise to PTown, give ‘em some gnarly poultry name and show the world whose birds are best? JONNY GOMES (OF, … Read More »

St. Vincent High alums – Dust off your scrapbooks!

by PTownFan

Yours truly is assembling a photo gallery tracing the evolution of the athletic field at St. Vincent’s High School from its original groundbreaking in 1961 through the sparkling diamond receiving its final buffing in October 2009.  I just need three images to round it out and hope that PTownFan readers might be able to help with some pics from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. The gallery will be one of many … Read More »

The Power Of One

by PTownFan

An extraordinary construction project is taking shape at St. Vincent High School in Petaluma.  Made possible by the equally extraordinary generosity of a kind-hearted person that saw the opportunity to make a difference in a lot of lives.  I wonder if she has any idea just how many. About a year ago, two St. Vincent cheerleaders were excited to have their out-of-town grandmother in the stands for a Mustang football … Read More »

Touch ‘Em All – Monday, September 14th

by PTownFan

JONNY GOMES (OF, Cincinnati Reds, MLB – Casa Grande HS): Gomes had a huge home run (#19) on Friday on a two strike breaking ball.  That’s home run number 14 off RHP for those keeping track.  The Reds went on to win and met their Elimination Number over the weekend.  No playoffs, but still a few weeks to work on some things for next year.  Like defense.  Gomes added another defensive … Read More »

Touch ‘Em All – September 11, 2009

by PTownFan

JONNY GOMES (OF, Cincinnati Reds, MLB – Casa Grande HS): 1-for-with a single, a walk, and a K as the Reds dropped 4 straight in the mile high city yesterday.   But Jonny somehow found time to read my blog and took that “defensive ball and chain” comment from yesterday to heart.  Check  out this nice throw. Attaboy Jonny.  Show ‘em. TOMMY EVERIDGE (1B, AAA Sacramento Rivercats, Oakland Athletics Organization – Sonoma … Read More »

Touch ‘Em All – Thursday, September 10

by PTownFan

JONNY GOMES (OF, Cincinnati Reds, MLB – Casa Grande HS): 0-for-4 with three K’s in Wednesday night’s loss to the Rockies and not in the line-up last night as the Rox continued to be basically unbeatable at home and took another close game from the Reds.   Giants didn’t help themselves, losing both nights.  Ugghhh.  The chatter about whether Jonny will be a Redleg in 2010 is heating up:   Gomes … Read More »

A Tip Of The Cap: Beyond The Glory

by PTownFan

Petaluma’s support of youth sports during tough economic times is pretty special.  Local businesses buy banner ads on stadium fences, pony up two for one discounts on Gold Cards, sponsor teams and help out in many other ways. One PTown restaurant really knocks the cover off the ball. Beyond The Glory Sports Bar and Grill holds dozens of fundraisers every year.  They’re a team effort.  The Glory donates a percentage of … Read More »

Touch ‘Em All – September 8, 2009

by PTownFan

PTown Pollyanna’s prayerful predictions partly prevailed yesterday. Jonny Gomes went yard, a two run shot, and needs only 3 more dingers to equal his career high of 21 home runs.  Tommy Everidge had a much needed hit as the Cats ended their skid, and Konrad Schmidt wrapped up his AAA call-up with a 3-for-5 three RBI day.  And Brandon Morrow’s Tacoma Rainiers made the playoffs so he’ll be pitching to Everidge … Read More »

Enjoy Labor Day PTown.  If you’re looking for a little baseball today, the internet radio is full of good stuff …   the streaking Reds take on the NL Wild Card leading Rockies today while Brad Penny goes for another Giants win against the last place Padres.  Go Reds!  Tommy Time could use a little love to help bust a big River Cats skid.  And hopefully, Konrad Schmidt will get … Read More »

Touch ‘Em All: Sunday, September 6

by PTownFan

JONNY GOMES (OF, Cincinnati Reds, MLB – Casa Grande HS): The Cincinnati Reds, trolling the infield for 2010 outfield talent, put Jonny’s hot bat in the rack yesterday and started Drew Sutton in left field instead.  They want to see if the utility infielder might be super-utility caliber.  Whatever.  Just glad the Reds won anyway. JOEY GOMES (DH/1B, Edmonton Capitals, IND Golden League – Casa Grande HS): The agony of defeat followed the … Read More »
