Lamar in the College Station regional as the #4 seed.
A&M is #1 seed, USC is #2, Texas State is #3.
Lamar will play A&M in first game.
Gigem and Peckem.
I had season tickets for the Gators.
Loved Wednesday night games. 50 cent 32 ounce beer night. Draft beer in a 32 ounce souvenir cup (had to purchase the cup for $3, but refills for .50ct) . My kind of night. Think I ended up with over 20 of those cups. lol
I remember the Chicken games. Was there for both appearances.
The trade was strictly about the money. No question.
I only made the comparison (actually, got the comparison off an X post) to show what the Astros were getting for $4.7 Mil less.
Houston couldn't keep Dubon. I believe they got what they were expecting in return. A decent player off the bench.
#Astros fans were angry when Dana Brown traded UT Mauricio Dubon for IF Nick Allen.
These are their numbers for this season:
Dubon: .265 AVG, .317 OBP, .717 OPS ($6.1M)
Allen: .297 AVG, .366 OBP, .771 OPS ($1.4M)
Its ok to love Dubon and not hate Allen or the deal.
I was told they will most likely promote a current staff member (Turk) to one of the assistant positions and will hire for the other.
Silsbee had to let go 3 coaches (1 boys, 2 girls) due to not being certified. District is cracking down on teaching positions that are occupied by "non certified" teachers.
They are allowing new hires 2-3 years to get certified. After that, they have to move on.
District is trying to maximize their salary dollars. Trying to be more efficient.
Nope.
Too much rain and seaweed right now.
I won't be able to get down there for a few weeks. Wife is having gallbladder removed this coming Thursday.
Been making trips over to the Nugget to play poker the last couple of weeks.
Houston is 6-4 in their last 10 games.
In those last 10 games, Astro pitching has a 2.59 ERA.
Pitching has definitely improved over the last couple of weeks.
