The schedule question always comes. And though the schedule doesn’t sound imminent, the question always comes harder once the basketballers put theirs out. So after 11 years, I figured it was worth doing this.

Updated for 2013-14 and beyond. For 2017-18, the league changed its policy, no longer waiting for the NBA: San Antonio and Cleveland were the only two teams left in NBA buildings. I may keep updating. I may not.

The Brakettes are in Henderson, Nev., playing softball against some of the best of the west. They drew the SoCal Hurricanes in this morning’s opener — pretty much as strong a matchup as you could get — and were a couple of outs away from winning when two solo homers beat ’em 4-3. They won their losers bracket opener to follow and could play two games late tonight. The Webcast will be here around 10 p.m.
And RIP, Sherman Hemsley.
