[quote name="bullets13000" post="790467" timestamp="1271304445"] now 5-3, should be 7-1 if not for two blown saves by francisco.  they've got a tough schedule coming up.  they finish with cleveland tmorrow, then have 3 @ the yankees, 3 @ the red sox, and then three @ home against the tigers.  if they can go 4-5 over that span, i'll be happy.  anything better than that is a bonus. [/quote] That's a horrible 9 game stretch to go through.  The yankees and red sox are contenders every year and the RANGERS couldn't beat the tigers last year to save their lives.  Anywhere around .500 would be awesome for this part of the schedule.

[/quote] Everyone picks on the Knicks! That doesn't mean you're a man! The Knicks are wussies! [/quote] Well there's the pot calling the kettle black.  You are the one who brought up trash talking in this thread and here you go talking trash yourself.  Leave the poor knicks alone, they didn't do anything to you.  Now, how about answering the question at hand, what happened in this game?

Going to say the Tigers win a close game.  Silsbee by 2.

[quote name="Gametime23" post="787706" timestamp="1270753867"] Pitch count depends on the kid and how in shape he is. Pitching has a lot to do with the legs, abs and back which most parents are unaware of.  I relied on my legs and not my arm. Good weight traing and conditioning allows kids to throw more pitches. everyday long toss if they can get their arms into that kinda shape because that adds velocity and longevity. [/quote] Good write up.  These are the points that I wish everyone, especially players, would get through their heads. 

I'll take BC by 3 or more. 

BC will win.  They are the best team in this district!!!

Great job RANGERS!!!  That's the way to open the season. 

Where's Sting and Hulk Hogan?

Blake is catching?  I know he can play 2nd and 3rd but didn't know he was a catcher.  Good to see Blake doing well. 

Going with the Bobcats in this game.

Yes, it is one of the worst sport pages that I have ever seen. 

I have to go with Crosby in this one.

I'll take BC over HF and Orangefield over WOS.

I think the edge goes to Kirbyville if Jones is pitching.  Kirbyville 4-2 with Jones on the mound.

BUMP

The Silsbee Tigers win over Kirbyville Friday night was win number 100 for Coach Todd Trawhon.  This is a big accomplishment for Coach Trawhon and all of those young men that have played in his program over the years.  Congratulations coach!!!

Dayton 9 HJ 4

Keep an eye on Hardin-Jefferson freshman, Dillon Duplant.

HJ and C. E. King played to a 2-2 tie in 6 innings.  Freshman Dillon Duplant pitched 4 and struck out 9.  Also contributed with a solo HR.  HJ opens at Kirbyville on Monday.

Congrats Jeremy!  I still wish you were playing college ball in the state of Texas, but I understand your decision.  Good luck young man and take care of yourself. 

Better get it in today.  Looks like rain late Monday afternoon and Tuesday.

Any new info on the umpire situation with the UIL?

[/quote] The really interesting part is the Astros farm clubs that are owned by Ryan (Round Rock and Corpus Christi) would now become Ranger farm teams. [/quote] What will this do to the Oklahoma and Frisco franchise?  Will these teams just move to Round Rock and Corpus?
