BB: NCAC: North Coast Athletic Conference

[countyroad]

Do you find it insulting that the NCAC even makes Wooster play in a conference championship?  I mean, they played a hard non-league schedule!  They beat freaking Marietta!! It's amazing that the league even forces Wooster to step on the same field with anybody else in our downtrodden little baseball league. 

But hey...all four teams are going to show up in Chillicothe.  We might as well play the games and make a weekend out of it.   Relax and try to enjoy yourself, pal. 

You pulled the same card during the NCAC basketball tourny too.  You fabricated the idea that Wooster fans thought they had the NCAC wrapped up before the tourny started.  What exactly is your problem with Wooster?  As already said, nobody on here is handing Wooster the NCAC championship.  Your bitterness is unfounded by anything anyone has said on this board.  Are you any relation to Spence?

[HeyScots]

I think we can all agree that no one is praising wooster because they swept Hiram...however there are many other reasons why wooster is the favorite to win the NCAC, but no team should be taken lightly as we saw wabash win game 1 against wooster last year.

The smell of smoke is heavy in here all of the sudden from the flaming a certain poster just added to the board...

Exactly what are you freaking talking about???  You show up after Wabash makes the conference tournament with your same old tired act you gave us all in the basketball forum.  Someone states the obvious that Wooster is the favorite to win the NCAC tournament and you get your panties all in a wad?  Blow things out of proportion much??? 

It also amazes me how much you spin things around.  First you act as though we Wooster fans are thumping our chests because we swept lowly Hiram.  I mean you yourself said your slow pitch softball team is better than Hiram. (I guess that makes you an athlete because you play slow pitch softball?)  So, I then point out to you that not only was no one bragging up the sweep of Hiram last weekend, but that you might want to check the rest of Wooster's schedule because there are plenty of worthy opponents on Wooster's schedule.  And what do you do?  Spin it as if we are trying to say that no one in the NCAC is worthy of Wooster's competition?  Brilliant.  That's it exactly?    You sir are a freaking genius!   

And then there's always your staple of ending your stellar posts with RELAX.  You get all worked up blowing things completely out of proportion as to what was actually being discussed and then you spin it around and tell us to relax.  Niiiiiiice.  Here's a thought.  Maybe you should take some of your own advice?

In the end, I guess there's just no pleasing you is there?  I'll leave you with this thought.  When I think about the definition of flaming on a message board, I bet your picture is right there next to it!

Maybe we could get back to what this forum was about for the entire season until wally world so graciously interrupted things and that is talking baseball?

Allegheny and Denison are locked in a pitcher's dual as it is scoreless through 5 1/2 innings.  Each team has been held to 3 hits.

[HeyScots]

I think thats expected in the first game of the tournament...both teams dont know what to expect and are very cautious to not make the first mistake.  Looks like the hitting is starting to pick up a little in the 6th

Plus both teams probably have their #1's going on the mound as well.

In the words of the great Walter Sobchak....calmer than you are.  

Meanwhile, at the VA Stadium, Denison is up 2-1, still batting with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 6th.  

Big two-out single for DU plates two more.  4-1 Big Red.  Is Denison winning or is Allegheny playing down to the Big Red?  May be too early to tell.  

Nothing for the Gators in the 7th.  Lucas seems to be cruising this afternoon....Gators have six more outs to figure him out.  

One more for Denison in the 7th.  5-1 Big Red.  Gators need to start stringing together some hits about nowish.  

And Game 1 goes to Denison, 5-1.  No "pace of play" problems here...this one wrapped up in just a smidge over 2 hours.

Whatever you say wallyworld.  Or should I just call you Walter. 

[Dr. Acula]

Two questions....

How the h*ll is Lucas 3-3?  He's been flat out dominant winning his last 3 starts now, but how did he not have a win before then? 

Also, did anyone else check out the regional rankings today?  Can't believe there haven't been any comments about them yet.

That's the same Walter who drew a firearm in the Southern California Bowling League, which contravened a number of the league's bylaws, right? Not the pacifist to reference, that guy.

In any event, hello, fellow Achievers. And a good day to you, sirs!

Anyway, back to baseball. Couldn't let a Lebowski riff just sit there.

I look forward to tonight's game only to see who the Big Red will get to play tomorrow.  I would think Mike Clark (and the team) would prefer to see the Scots for the first time later in the day tomorrow after playing Wabash in the Winner-Winner game. No doubt Wabash is stinging from that weekend series we had and wants revenge.  But Denison would have to be confident having taken a 4-gamer from them so recently.

On the other hand, if the Big Red come up against the Scots next in the Winner-Winner game, the OMG factor is there for them right away.  They only faced each other once this year and the outcome was not one to boast about.  Can Denison beat Wooster?  In my opinion, yes.  But having lost 10-2 the first time around will take the right kind of mindset, and it doesn't necessarily come naturally when the heat is on.  They do seem to have it, though, and I am thinking this could be a title year.  GO BIG RED!!!

In case anyone is interested, there is a Livecam offered on the Memorial Stadium website.

Can you say 2 out thunder?   

[old scot]

Scot up 7-2 after 4.

Wally,
      get in the game before you pop off. You contributed zero to this board all year and come in to make waves at the end. Wait till FB season when your team can back up your mouth.

Bash get 2  in the top of the 5th on a 2 run jack. 7-4 after 4 1/2.

Last up date, its past my bed time. Matt Johnson having a day for COW 4 for 5 with an HR and 3 RBI. Scots leading 11-6 after 7. Good night all.
