Watching what Kurich has done with this team since he arrived has been amazing. Back to back World Series and from the way it currently looks, they should be making a third appearance.

Go Gorloks!

WU seems to be rolling through the SLIAC again this season. Not shocked.

Hopefan, FC, Sorry I haven't been able to get on lately, I've yet to get to any games thus far. I'll try to get a little more done on my part. I'm not pullin' my weight around here!!!

I would like to congratulate Mike Stawski for getting the head coaching position with Spalding University.

HangEm, I think you deserve karma for that...

I'm saying that the ENTIRE karma thing is one of the most childish things I've ever seen.

And you're wrong, you have directly put down WU. Look at any of my posts, I have never put down any team in the SLIAC. Period. Thanks for playing.

So let's say WU lost one game to Fontbonne and one to Maryville during the regular season and then swept the conference tourney. You would still say that both would be better than WU? It was a timing issue, WU is the best team in the SLIAC.

Speaking of immaturity, you're talking about karma points...seriously, it's really dumb.

And just because someone has a different view than you does not mean you just put them down. He thinks Webster has a better team but got outplayed in the tourney. I don't see anything wrong with this statement.

Oh no...please don't take any 'karma' away...what will I do...

Completely agree HangEm.

It's funny to watch the people that say they are 'SLIAC' fans say they would root for anyone in the tourney. That's wrong, if WU were in you wouldn't and that's fine. I have never once claimed to be a fan of the SLIAC. I am, however, a fan of a school in the conference.

Just like I'm not an ACC fan but a UNC fan.

I am not against a team getting hot and winning but I am against a team that get's hot just enough but yet still can't win their division. If a team isn't even the best in their division they CAN'T be the best in the league.

TheOneAndOnly,

That's my point, by pure definition of wild card it's the closest team within reach at the end of the season that gets hot. It's a stupid rule in the MLB. You could make a GREAT argument that the wild card team has a better chance of winning because they are playing for their season before the playoffs and this allows them to carry a lot into the playoffs. It's wrong that it's in the game. Just like the DH "position"

I want you to realize that Fontbonne may or may not have had more heart. YOU CAN NOT MEASURE HEART. For the last time. Webster got out played. Had nothing to do with heart. Period.

I have not talked trash on ANY other team in the SLIAC. In fact, I don't think I mention any other team in any negative comments.

I will say it once again, good luck to Fontbonne. I hope the represent the SLIAC well in the tourney.

You seem to be the one that is always bringing other teams down. All I do is bring my team up. We'll be back next year, I mean you have to lose at least once in the last 4 years in the conference tourney I guess.

This is a personal note for the one that said before this season that WU wouldn't do anything because they lost too much pitching. Wait until next year, can't wait for your excuse then.....

The SLIAC did away with the tourney for a little bit but that's not the answer either because then it's impossible for a team to get in. It should be based on regular season conference champions to get a better idea of which team is the better overall team. IMHO

I just think there should be a better way to determine it. A team was clearly the  best team in their conference but will not be getting in because a team got hot. I know that's 'sports' but I think that it's wrong. On the other side of it, WU should have played better and won late when it counted i guess.

First of all, congrats to Fontbonne for winning.

Second, it's sad that the regular season doesn't mean anything in conference. I truly think that the best team in the SLIAC will not be in the national tourney. They were not hot at the right time, they were the best team all season and that now means nothing. Why is the need for a conference tourney? Why not take the best team from each conference, they have earned that right all season and even in losing two games in three days they were still leading in conference. To me it's a faulty system. And yes, in case anyone was wondering I have always felt this way.

Webster was outplayed this weekend and did not deserve to win either game they lost but with that said, a loss late in the season should not hurt anymore than when WU beat everyone early in conference play.

Good luck to Fontbonne and I hope you make a run in the tourney to help get the SLIAC some more credit.

Webster is hitting again (thank you rain delay) and they will take three straight to win the tourney.




I hope
