Whoa! Pump the brakes a minute CardinalBacker. I'm as big a fan of BC baseball as anybody but I can't follow you on this one. First off you need to be careful you don't anger "The Great and Powerful Homer" because his wrath will be swift and all encompassing if you get my drift. On a more serious note you have to give respect where its due and Silsbee deserves that, they have a dang good squad. To make the claim that Silsbee is only ranked because they beat BC is comical to say the least and in no way near the truth. The simple truth is that this ultra young BC team has far exceeded their initial expectations. Nobody who was honest with themselves would have believed BC would be where they are right now and that's a testament to Coach Landry and the staff sticking to their program and making the most out of the young talent. Right now it's just time sit back and enjoy this run by the young Cards because the future is ridiculously bright. By all means Silsbee should be the prohibitive favorite in the series and they should be. Silsbee, along with the other schools in the district, should enjoy this brief opportunity to "kick em (BC) when they are down" because that doesn't happen very often and will happen even less in the coming years. This series, along with the OF vs WOS series is a tribute and testament to quality of baseball played in our district. Hopefully all the games will be as advertised and one of our teams makes it to Austin.
 
Prediction.........
My realistic judgement says Silsbee.
My heart says BC.
 
Enjoy it all!
