The Inaugural year....lost in a haze of shots, black eyes, 2 broads, shady deals and The huge bat of Albert Pujols. [Ouch these hurt] Ouch these hurt ...but a tradition unlike any other (Fuck the Masters!) was started in the stained back room of The Village Idiot and it probably should have died and been buried there and then

2006 Rockem Sockem Preview. Rockem Sockem V, it smells so ludicrous up in here up in here. Or maybe that was DMX, I am like the Beastie Boys we don’t listen to no hippyhoppy nowadaze. Anyway, we pimped out and tricked out in the 06 for RSV, and there ain’t no stopping us now. We have crossed the level of fun league to complete obsession and it feels really really comfy like two old sweaters…that are fucking.

**2010 Final Day** Bull was kind enough to invite us over to Long Island City to watch the final day of regular season baseball games in the 2010 season. There were many races and multiple categories that came down to this last day so the tension was high and the burgers were tasty. In fact nothing was known for certain leading into the day, and when all was said and done some whacky final standings came out

ALL STAR BREAK: Mid Season Review: Well it is upon us, we are sadly half way done with Rockem Sockem X, the X'iest Rockem yet... The mid season is a time for review and to take a deep breath and smell just where you sit at the Rockem table. If you are at the top of the heap the air smells clean and fresh, whiffs of free eats can magically seep in. If you are lodged in the middle it is usually anxious breaths that you ingest hoping to rise, praying not to fall. If you reside at the bottom

[Baseball-sunshine.jpg] The Sunshine Draft has been called alternatively “professional”, “sun stroked”, “Stupid”, “Munch Box-y”, “delightful” “Old School Style” and “has to be done again” by various members of the league…safe to say this one was pretty damn great.

A hell of a season so far which has seen lots of tight scores, different leaders and a host of standing changes. On June 12th there was just 11 points between 1st and 8th place. Since then the gap has widened and the top four have asserted themselves, but the league is still open for anyone in this second half with razor thin margins in most categories.

2020 Opening Day The world is a strange place, but we are still trying to play baseball...even if 2020 Opening Day took place on July 23rd. For the Thursday Night game some of us got together over Zoom to watch the start of the Yanks v Nats. Then on Friday I went out to hang with some of the Queens Rockem mangers to watch the Mets v Braves at Bar 43 in Sunnyside.

I have written a few paragraphs earlier in the year, and never published them because that gif above this sentence says it best… We have no idea what is going to happen. The 60 game season is set to start this week, Rockem voted to keep all of our scoring, DL spots the same and the Covid-19 virus is still rising all across the country taking out players randomly and for various lengths of time and severity, than…

The 2021 All-Star Break is here, and semi-shockingly we have had a fairly “normal” season so far. Lots of injuries, a lot less “sticky stuff” and an exciting time in Rockem. Here are the standings as we stroll into 2021's All-Star Break: [asb2021.jpg] There is still a lot of room for movement as the categories and standings are very very close.

4 Rockemites made it out to Oakland for the last week of the A's playing in that great city. The Colessium is a dump, but we had a blast. Great times an the Yankees won in extra innings, so we got some bonus baseball by the Bay. Here is the game info. Good times.

We as good baseball citizens joined the craze and helped the poor cash strapped club along. Except we didn't say anything about the Mets with our brick…it was all Rockem, All The Time:
