BB: SLIAC: St Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[SLIAC4LIFE]

I would just like to express my appologies for a poor representation of my knowledge on the teams in the SLIAC this past weekend  . This is going to be a heck of a ride 2-9 . Webster still has Maryville which to me is the under the radar team that could be the only one left to put a win up against Webster (They are hitting the most consistant in conference and don't strike out a lot which could be trouble with the way teams are playing defence this year, and the pitching is showing signs of emergance) . I am really disapointed in Fontbonne, I think they did not play as well as advertised but my gut tells me, if they clean up the defence, they will still be pesky. At 8-5 Blackburn looks like they really can play with that small roster and I look for them to be the 3rd or 4th team . Eureka to me, is the only other team that also has a chance to make the top 4 . That leaves MacMurray, Westminster, and Greenville to be the three teams, as they are now, to stay where they are. Hopefully they can play spoiler so that the end of the season is exciting and a energy boost for the conference tourny.

WOW! I enter this board to talk baseball tonight and thought I walked into a fourth grade classroom with all of the name calling.

Attack the argument, not the person. And know that others are free to attack your argument without you feeling like you were personally attacked. (This is a skill I teach daily during middle school discussion... some of you need to sit in my class for a day or two to refresh).

The "D" has been the most disappointing apect of the whole season I was truly surprised by the poor "D" on the field for Font, Webster and Greenville. There is still time to turn things around, make some personel changes and finish strong. It is looking like Webster, Maryville then several question marks. I wouldn't count any out yet. Maryville has only played 6, Principia 7 and Font 8. A lot can happen and some better defense could turn the standing around pretty quick.

We all need a refresher course now and again.

It was a good game for the Beavers tonight. This takes their record to 8-5 in conference. They have made huge strides compared to last year, perhaps it was just an off year. Their true test will come this week when Webster goes to Blackburn and then Blackburn travels to Maryville. This week will prove a lot to all the Beaver Lovers AND Haters. Congrats to Josh Holman who is having one heck of a turn around season. and Cadle's last name is pronounced .... K-del... Its pretty simple. BUT i do believe Fuiten and Ratezeloff have some pretty tough names. I also think Fontbonne's Juergensmeyer could prove to be a tough one.. But overall if it came down to it. Webster takes the cake on tough names to pronounce. HAH! hope this post put some cheer back into this board.

Webster has an easy week of baseball, should escape with 4 more conference wins pushing their record to 17-10(15-0 in SLIAC play). Hopefully they dont play to Busch league when they travel to Blackburn on wednesday...Some people may get offended by their crazy antics.

Also, congrats are due to Freshman Joe Biagini on being the SLIAC hitter of the week, and to Junior pitcher WIll Savage on being Pitcher of the week in the SLIAC. Gorlok players swept these awards for the second straight week.

Ha! this is a good post. Karma +1

A couple examples of the mispronunciations were Cadle pronounces ca-dolly or Spala pronounced Spa-lolly. What was odd was that he got the names right the first time through the order. As an impartial observer of a fun and exciting first game it sure seemed like the poor pronunciations were intentional. I know every one around me thought it was intentional and embarassing for the school (both blackburn and webster fans).

Harry Caray got paid quite well to say the things you found bush. And for the most part, his mispronunciations were intentional.

How do you say Ratezeloff backwards?

Webster Plays at Blackburn tomorrow. This should prove to be Webster's first real test. Mainly  because of reasons stated before, like Blackburn is a hard place to play. Hopefully the Beavers bring down the high and mighty gorloks because like ive always said, everyone loves an upset!

[bballnerd1967]

how is a team that is 8-5 in the conference a real test? Webster already has beaten them twice and regardless how much Blackburn had them down in the first game they still lost. Not a real test at all. The only "real" test webster will see is Maryville who is having a down year. need we argue again that Webster is the best team in the SLIAC and will be until Kurich retires.

[HangEmBangEm]

I mean i wouldn't go as far as to say Maryville is having a down year. Looking at their hitting statistics they are going to be tough to beat. Should be a great series if you ask me. But i have been wrong before, but i'd love to see a tough three game series to test both teams

ballnerd I've been trying to figure out who you are and now I think I have it. Your not a player, you have said that in previous posts. Your not just a fan, the best of fans aren't as tenacious and fanatic as you. You aren't the announcer at the Webster games, you would have misspelled all of the names you write. Now I have finally figured it out. You are Kurich's mom.
