We have had fatalities from exploding tires (I figure that maybe you have seen that in your former life also). Even when I am airing up tires on my personal vehicle or at work, I put my head above the wheel well and turn away from the tire as best as possible. If nothing else, I try to keep the potential impact away from the head or heart area.

Is Vegas giving odds on this?

Central, not this year. how you figure? Everyone knows that Central won't be in it this year. They are destined to be a lower tier team with hopes for 2010. I don't really believe that and don't make predictions anyway. I just wanted to get Scooter pumped up for a few seconds. ;D

Attitude.

A friend at work is a guide on the weekends and has been knocking them dead on Flounder Pounder CT Shad. I think he has been using glow and glow with chartreuse tails.

If that is the dumbest quote that you have ever heard, you are either very young or haven't heard much.

I think that Matthews from Vidor is correct when he said that they should not be drinking the energy drinks. I believe those are a disaster in the making. Since when do 16 and 17 year old kids need energy drinks anyway? Maybe it's just the culture of needing to put something into our bodies for everything. If you want to wake up, take something. If you want to go to sleep, take something. If you are about to play sports, take something.

I've never gotten seasick and have been in some waves or rollers up to 10 feet. I don't think it matter how tough you are and only how your inner ear reacts to the motion. I have heard that it is awful if you ever get it and you wish they would just kick you overboard and get it over with.

You know, he never really made any comments about being picked to win district. I guess they edited out those comments if he made any.

With Vidor having practically their whole team back, many for two years, they had better make a serious run at the title and at the very least make the playoffs. All their eggs are in one basket now.

Maybe Coop can weigh in here. Is the second week of August significantly cooler than the first week of August? Does three or four days make that big of a change in Texas weather? This is nothing but a "foot in the door" kind of suggestion. Once they get their foot in the door by banning two-a-days the first week, how far off are we from banning them the second week and then altogether?

Isn't always? Try rarely. They can hit things like, WO-S will make the playoffs or win district but since they haven't lost a district game since dropping to 3A, it is not a hard call. Their prognostications aren't exactly legendary.

I think that Vidor has made the playoffs three times in 69 years. Maybe it is their time to break out.

GO PIRATES!!

In the lake or the channel?

If I remember correctly, they had 22 starters returning in 2005 and were supposed to be in also. It was the year of Rita so the season was cut short but they still didn't live up to expectations with almost the entire team returning. That is not to say that they will not win this year but simply returning starters or lettermen is not always the answer. Coaching and talent has to enter into the equation. How many times have other teams had more returning starters that WO-S?

No way. There are teams that do good at the JV or Freshman level that do not win at varsity level and vice versa. Talent can be seen but not the way a team plays when they reach Friday nights.

Which is the same every year in every selection process. No matter who is selected or who does the selecting, there will be people that will feel that some wrong people got in. That is the nature of the beast. That is why I always say, congratulations to those that made it and good try for those that didn't. The effort is what counts.

Is the Sportsman back open at the 4 way stop? They carried live shrimp before the store was just about carried away by Ike.

Why not? With that money, I would never have to work again and could have all of the time in the world for sports both participating and posting about it. I could be posting in my threads such as: 1. The day I attended 3 different major league games. 2. The trip to South America to the Amazon River to catch Peacock Bass and flew back that afternoon to do some elk hunting in Montana. 3. I liked bass fishing so much with the guide that day, I bought his boat and a house on the lake to store it at. Yep, I could find plenty of time to post.......

Grrrrr.... time for work.

Lead off walk. Runner on 1st. Double in the corner. Runner holds at 3rd. Runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs. Base hit. Runner scores from 3rd. Now men on the corners with no outs. Double steal. Runner out at 2nd. Runner scores from 3rd. No one left on base. 1 out. Strike out. 2 out. Fly out. 3 out. Bottom of 5 coming up. Cubs 4 Dogs 1

Dogs miss a big chance there.

Cardenas doubles to lead it off. Vidrine doubles, Cardenas scores. Terracina bunts but Vidrine tagged out at 3rd as bunt is too deep. Laird hits into a double play. Bad finish to a lot of promise but the Dogs are on the board. Top of 5th coming up. Cubs 2 Dogs 1

Back to back doubles.. now that is hitting the ball.
