Even if they dont win it sounds like he does.  Today is the first day he doesnt have atleast i think 3 or 4 hits.  Guy sounds like a savior.

Yacko AGAIN???

My bad for the sarcasm last night guys- i had a few beers in me:-\.  As an ex collegiate baseball player I just remember that traveling for the Regionals and World Series was nothing because you realize how BIG it is.  And yes MCM, the host has succumb being the home team and that is my point.  Didnt mean to rile (sp) everyone up-ill try to steer clear of the board on drinky night next time.

If I read one more person even MENTION that the CALI teams have traveled, and are at a "disadvantage" because of it, I am going to throw up on my keyboard.  If you cant step up and play somewhere other than your backyard then its going to be a long hard road in life.  These kids are >22, lets give them some credit.  And by the way, the drive from DFW to Abilene is not 4 and a half hours.  Lets let the guys show what they can do without us old guys giving them excuses.

runners on second and third, Marcus flied out to CF to end it.  Chapman 4-3

4-3 still, going into the top of the 9th. Last chance for LV

Yacko in for Kitchens, middle of 7... 4-3 Chap

4-2 or 5-2 Chapman in the 6th (the score went backwards a min ago on stattracker).  Yacko is only 3 for 3 with a triple already.

I gotcha Mr. Park-I agree as well that some on here think that Texas (D3) baseball is king and that is more ridiculous than that of the California backers due to the lack of even 1 championship if I am correct.  Just seems to me that Vilade was right for once all season in this article saying that its just not feasable monetarily to send the kids West-  "First, we want the kids staying in class as much as possible," he said. "Secondly, we're not in a position with our budget where we can leave for California or Hawaii. I think we've lost the entire spirit of Division III sports."  (http://www.tylerpaper.com/article/20080513/SPORTS06/805130305/-1/SPORTS)- The "kids in class "statement is brutal, but even Vilade with all his power at the school cant ask for that much money!
But like many have stated-all they had to do was win the tourney!

I think everyone is going too far with the scheduling thing here.  Its not necessarily flying to Cali that is just gonna get you in automatically.  (And by the way, why do so many in here think that Cali schools are so much better than any other schools around here. )  The point is, just DONT schedule: HEndrix, Sul Ross, JArvis, Schreiner, Northwood,  or (lose 1 to) Austin College as this does not help.  It doesnt help either losing in the ASC Championship tournament.

ATL7, no offense but none of us are on the committe so you dont have to talk us into anything. But you cant honestly say that you'll had a better final 15 games than Concordia. Its not like were comparing apples to oranges here- youll played them head to head, twice.  And couldnt pull through.  I just know if i was a Concordianite i would be pretty hacked if UTT gets a bid ahead of them.  Again, nothing personal, just pointing that out.  

BTW i havent seen Concordia or McMurry play this year but it would seem to me that if CTX beat #6 (at the time) UTT, and McMurry beat up CTX that atleast one of those would crack the top 25 AND/OR UTT would drop more than 2 spots to number 9.  Somebody fill me in. 

If Vilade had any clue at all, he would not have shown contempt for his bullpen (besides ziegler) AND EVEN his 3rd starter!!  You cant blame anyone but himfor the choke in the tourney.  Getting through the East is difficult enough only throwing 4 guys, but getting through a tournament with that same number is NEVER going to happen- HOW do you not look ahead and see that?  Has he always done this?
