A BUC 77

Nederland has in the past, gotten better as the year progresses. This hasn’t been a typical year but they have shown signs of focusing and grabbing momentum and running with it. So maybe the playoff lights will wake up the echoes cheering their name.

I think it will be a good fit. He knows the organization and they know him. His managerial history is so so. So I’m hoping he’s learned a little bit. I think he’d be a players coach. We’ll see. I’m pulling for him.

Well, the more I think about it Pujols would be a tremendous draw. He is well liked by everyone including the media. It would give the Astros a good PR shot in the arm as they need. Plus, who wouldn’t wanna play for Albert Pujols. His baseball mentality may be infectious.

Well, Pujols was a great player? I’m not sure what kind of manager he would be. I know Brad Ausmus has proven to be a good player, coach and is well liked, so I’m rooting for Brad. I bet that’s who’s Bagwell’s pulling for as well.

Paredes has been one of the bright spots in the Astros organization for the last couple of years. The only scenario I see is put him at second base, Peña at short, Correa at third, Walker at first, put the big guy in left field and Altuve has to be DH. Sub in at second base when needed.

I don’t know about this one. Always a good battle. Big Ned is up and down this year so flip a coin. Last game, I picked heads so we win by 6.

I know Nederland doesn’t match very well with Texas City but playing at home will help. Knowing that they had PNG on the ropes will help them as well. I see this being a close game but big Ned should pull away with a win.

I guess I went to the bathroom.

Great game. I knew this one was going to be close. The Dogs showed up and reminded me of the glory days when Neumann paced the sidelines. I know coach Spell was grinning watching the D line tonight. I think Nederland didn’t utilize Ned or Clay enough down the stretch. Better play calling on the purple side. The refs were ok. I don’t think png got any holding calls all night. Sorry I had to stick that in there. All and all it’s not a bad loss.

Ha Ha Ha…

It’s another MCM Friday Night. It can’t get here fast enough. Both teams are crescendoing. Both student sections will be insane. No flares I hope. I think it’s going to be a slobber knocker. The first team that goes ahead will lose the lead. It will go back-and-forth and the last one who scores wins. “Go Dawgs” Thank you Lord for the beautiful weather.

Should be a good one. Both teams are playing well. It should be a home-field advantage, but it won’t be. Both have good defenses so it’s gonna be up to the offense. Play calling will determine the winner. Go dogs.

Congratulations Dogs. You guys have announced your authority. Coach Spell is sitting up in the stands with a big smile on his face. It’s been a long road and now you’re back.

I see your point. It’s the coach’s decision. I think they (coaches) are fully aware of kids getting hurt. Working on passing or different plays, is a possible scenario. Keeping them in a rhythm maybe. You don’t want these guys sitting around too long. You know what they say about idle minds. He’s not making a statement. There are no poles here.

It’s hard to tell how great Nederland played when Lee played so bad. Anyway great game, especially the defense, special teams and the qb. These kind of games is what you need sometimes.
