5 Ks in 3 innings....gotta love it. Go Dogs!

Good win PNG. Game 3 immediately after?

[quote name="welovebaseball" post="798506" timestamp="1273172891"] [b]I think a one game playoff is stupid.[/b]  Especially in baseball.  It should not be an option. I don't know enough about Crosby to predict what might have happened in a 3 game series.  So, my comments don't really have to do with this match-up other than to feel for Vidor or any other team that loses in a one game playoff. [/quote] LCM used to have a player by the name of Beau Hale and they would play you a one game playoff game anytime.  ;D Sorry about your loss Vidor. Keep your heads up and regroup.

The Houston Astros have now won one game in a row. They are on their way to taking over 1st place in their division.  ;D

Even though Bellow is our #1, Laird is undefeated, so our coach has the luxury of pitching Laird first and pitching Bellow to win....hopefully. It really doesn't matter to me who pitches the 1st game. Let's not forget our offense. Nederland's bats will win it for whoever is pitching. Good luck to both teams.

Lots of great teams in this district. Nederland really earned this one.

Soulja, Forney was 3rd string but he was already hurt when Bellow and Smith went down. Atterberry was 4th and started until Forney was healthy. Neumann went through his order like he should have. Forney played exceptionally well.

I left that a little vague. I should have said that Neumann will start whoever he thinks is best for the team. That's what should not be questioned.

Bellow was 1st, Smith was 2nd, Forney was 3rd, Atterberry was 4th. Forney was nursing a knee injury, so Atterberry got the call after Bellow and Smith went down. When Forney got healthy, he was inserted. Why would anybody question who gets to start?

The only thing that will stand out on that sign is ''BUTCH''.....which from a distance could be misread.  ;D

Wow, that's all you got from my post? I broke yours down and answered everything to the best of my ability. You tried comparing Tiger to JFK, and I showed you that, no matter how ''great'' JFK was as president, the thing you remember most is his affair with Marilyn Monroe. So, I guess your reasoning is that, if JFK did it, why not Tiger? Man, where does that stop? No one has said that a one night stand isn't cheating. I was trying to show that Tiger didn't have a ''moment of weakness'', which can be for given and corrected, he was bedding everything in sight...porn stars, whores, waitresses, call girls, you name it.....and paying high dollar for it too. When did paying for sex become legal? If I try to pick up a street walker for money, and she happens to be a cop, I go to jail for solicitation. These women have openly admitted that Tiger payed them for sex, and nothing happens to him. Why....because he's Tiger Woods? I guess I don't place my athletes, or anyone else, above the law. Of course it's more of a media selling point because it's Tiger, but that doesn't make me more forgiving just because it is him. I have to work with a man who brags about cheating on his wife. It makes me sick.

A man goes to his doctor for a complete check-up. He hasn't been feeling well and wants to find out if he's ill. After the check-up the doctor comes out with the results of the examination. "I'm afraid I have some bad news. You're dying and you don't have much time," the doctor says. "Oh no, that's terrible. How long have I got?" the man asks. "Ten..." says the doctor. "Ten? Ten what? Months? Weeks? What?!" says the man. The doctor says, "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

A man with a gun goes into a bank and demands their money. Once he is given the money, he turns to a customer and asks, "Did you see me rob this bank?" The man replied, "Yes sir, I did." The robber then shot him, killing him instantly. He then turned to a couple standing next in line and asks, "Did you see me rob this bank?" The woman replied, "No sir, I didn't, but my husband did."

Although velocity is a great thing to have and impresses the guys with the radar guns, control, changing speeds, movement on your fastball, hitting your spots, and ERA impress me more. It's what makes a pitcher effective. Both Nederland starters are blessed with all of these abilities.

Foul or no foul, he wouldn't have won anyway. This infraction (I agree is stupid) did not keep him from winning.

[/quote] Heck Yes! 12/12 at the stripe and 12/14 from the field. Does anyone appreciate professional basketball on this forum? [/quote] I still tune in, but the game has evolved into refereeing ''degrees'' of fouls. Basketball used to be a non-contact sport where one of the objects was to try and stop your opponent from scoring without fouling him. Now it has come down to the ''cheap'', ''intentional'', and ''flagrant'' fouls. PLus they added a 6th foul so there are more to give, and players stay in longer. These guys today couldn't play by the old rules. They'd all foul out.

Jim Furyk.....the 5th ranked player in the world, gets his second victory of the young season today, but I pick him to win the Masters and he doesn't even make the cut. In fact, he wasn't even close. That's not bad picking on my part, that's just golf.  ::)

Great pitching from the Horns recording two shutouts in this series. Horn's bats seem to be alive and well too. We will be discussing Kirby Bellow on this forum this time next year. Hook 'Em!

I'll take a one hitter anyday.  ;D Way to go Kirby! Pitchers go out with a win on their mind. If a no-no happens, then fine. If it doesn't, then so what. He was still dominating as heck. Nolan Ryan had 12 one hitters.

[size=16pt]WOOF!!!!![/size]

Yep, typical Phil...he must have been the only player blowing putts at the Masters  ;D Still a great approach shot and a pair of kahunas to even attempt it instead of laying up. The greens at Augusta are like no others in the world. It's what makes the Masters what it is. +1 and even par have won this tournament, so hats off to anyone scoring way below that. Also, what a tender moment for he and his wife. I wish them both well.

What a magnificent tournament! Unbelievable shot making, nerves of steel, determination, never looking back. Nope, it's not Tiger Woods (he got enough press and never led). It's Phil Mickelson, playing possibly the best golf of his career. Almost making three eagles in a row was insane Saturday, but that shot between the trees today was one of the best I have ever seen......ever! What a great win for a great person. On a side note....I thought it was really strange that Choi and Woods were paired each day and shot identical scores. How often does that happen?

I'm an equal opportunity disliker. Kennedy, last great Democratic president. I didn't like the fact that he fooled around with Marilyn Monroe, but I was just a kid at the time. Look what happened to her for her involvement (that's a long discussion for later). No matter how great he was, see what you remember about him? Clinton lied to Congress and should have had the book thrown at him. Monica Lewinsky seduced him and set him up. Why else would any woman not wash a blouse for months? These facts still don't excuse Clinton. Tiger Woods didn't just have a tryst or one night stand. He was sleeping with everything around, risking disease and possibly bringing that stuff home to his wife (if they were still intimate) and even his kids (I still think aids is spread through saliva). No one has said anything about not allowing him to continue to play golf. You can take all the punks you mentioned in the NFL and kick them out of the league. I wouldn't miss any of them. The only thing I ask anyone to do, who may think what Tiger did is ''not so bad''.....think how they would feel if their spouse did it to them. i bet that would be some serious stuff then!
