[Gray Fox]

I understand that next season the Sagehens aim to be the first NCAA team to wear uniforms made out of hemp.

I hope their season doesn't go up in smoke.

Reed maybe, but not really Pomona-Pitzer...Pitzer certainly has its offbeat element, but not generally among the athletes, and while Pomona is fairly liberal in its political bent, it's a pretty mainstream place.

I would have thought that the Cal Lu faithful would have posted this over the weekend, but i'll go ahead and mention it, congrats to Cal Lutheran center fielder Lee Ellis who was taken No. 1350 (46th round) by the Baltimore Orioles in the MLB draft.

[Tom Brady]

Wow, that is great news for the SCIAC and Cal Lutheran.  I had not heard they had a guy drafted but I am wondering one thing....how does a guy not get picked for the All-Conference teams and then go out and get drafted?

MLB is looking for different things than good numbers.

[Browneagle64]

That's a great point W.t.....Thats the same thing that i asked myself. But, in the end, i guess you have to support the local kid for at least getting drafted.

It should help recruiting if you have a player drafted from your school on a regular basis.

Jim-

Cal Lu does have guys drafted often, but it really doesnt seem like its helping them all that much.  I might be wrong but they have not won the SCIAC since 2000 which in my mind says a lot about the program that is nowhere near what they used to be.

Including current Colorado Rockies pitcher Jason Hirsch.

Its Jason Hirsh, according to mlb.com.

Ouch.... It sinks win a big league like MLB gives you the wrong name. However, because of jason's bad E.R.A this year, i think it was a good thing that MLB did that. (just kidding, i was joking around in good humor). I still root for the guy no matter what team he plays for.

From MLB. com
Rockies SP Jason Hirsh would have won his second straight start during Saturday's game against the Devil Rays had he notched two more outs. But as luck has it, Hirsh lasted just 4 1/3 innings, allowing six hits, four walks, two homers and five earned runs. He struck out five in the no-decision. It was the second time in four starts that Hirsh failed to make it through five innings.

Saw a little blurb on the CMS web-page about  former baseball player Morgan Cummings who recently signed with the Marlins.  Good to see another SCIAC getting a chance to play some pro ball.

[Ralph Turner]

New message board subject heading to facilitate identifying a message board by sport and then by conference.

Good luck in 2008.

[Browneagle64]

Ahhh, much better Ralph. Hope you are enjoying fall ball and MLB baseball. Thanks for this board.

[Ralph Turner]

Yes, it is a great time of the year.

The Rangers are no where near to be found.

Young had 200 hits.  Mark Texeiria is getting to play for a winner.

Sosa had a curtain call, and the Dallas Cowboys are 3-0 for the first time since 1999.

We aren't the old Washington Senators for nothing.  Texas Ranger Baseball is good for passing time until the Cowboys training camp opens up.   No brag, just fact!   


And Jamie Moyer, the former Pitcher for the Texas Rangers, will pitch for the Phillies in a "meaningful game" on Sunday.
