BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[Jcon8958]

Hahaha I have to agree with Bobby here seems to be alot more love for UMB in the last few days. Here to tell you boys the beacons bangwagon is closed.

Anyway LEC play starts this week always important to try to get off to a quick start. Couple good DH this weekend with UMB vs. ECSU, USMvs RIC,  KSC vs WCSU,  UMD vs PSU any thought from anyone?

UMB vs ECSU split  (cannot believe I said this )
USM vs RIC split
KSC sweeps WCSU
UMD sweeps PSU

IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT START TO THE LEC SEASON WITH SUPERB WEATHER!!!!!!!

[LEC Fan]

The Beacon Bandwagon should stay closed as you guys are the only crazy ones to be one it...more power to ya I guess!! lol 

Anyway...should be great weather for LEC baseball with some interesting matchups this weekend. It is still early but it is always important to take games where you can.

ECSU v. UMB- probably the highlight of the opening weekend as the upstart Beacons look to roll into "Willi" and give a message. Don't know about a sweep but a split is possible. I'll give credit to UMB for their hot start but that could easily be put to bed if they get swept! Should be a good one none the less.

USM v. RIC- saw RIC play Newbury last week and they put together a solid team. It sounds like they are young and with a young coach as well in the LEC it could prove to be a work in progess. Tough to start your LEC schedule with a team like USM and I will say the Huskies sweep the Anchormen.

KSC v. WCSU- might be a headshaker as Western has an ace up their sleeve. Good pitching beats good hitting but do both teams have the defense to win (Western has 23 errors with a record of 4-7, Keene has 30 errors at 8-6). I say Keene with a sweep if they can get to Armstrong in the first one.

UMD v. PSU- Toss up here but my gut would say that UMD has the upper hand in this one. PSU has been bad for a while and this should continue. Will be interesting to see how the standings shape up after the first weekend and where teams have made moves and so forth.

Good luck to all this weekend as the season gets underway!

Keene, N.H. 3/31/10 – The Keene State College baseball game at Curry College scheduled for today at 3 p.m. has been postponed due to field conditions. No makeup date has been announced for the game.

I will be at the KSC-WCSU double dip this weekend. I agree with you guys that KSC should sweep, but you never know. Both teams have been inconsistent thus far in terms of pitching and defense. I would assume that WCSU has their ace Billy Armstrong going, so that could be a difficult matchup for KSC. I think both games will be fairly competitive. Looking forward to the nice weather and hopefully quality baseball!

Ladies the KSCfan is predicting sweeps across the board for sat.  With Keene, Eastern, USM, and Dartmouth taking out the brooms.  I think that the Eastern UMB games are going to be the best games of the weekend, as we can see if the Beacons can muster up enough runs against Eastern, and if Lebrun and or Adriano can quiet the red hot bats that eastern has been swinging.  I would love to see a split but i am not holding my breath.  I think that if Armstrong does throw against Keene on sat instead of Eastern on friday then it is going to be important for the owls to work counts, and get to that bullpen.  I dont think that Western's number 2 or bullpen can handle the owls bats.  Looking forward to the games!!!

KSCFAN

Im not postive of the starters this weekend but I know that Dalton will be starting one of those games while Andriano will be coming out of the bullpen the last  I heard. Not sure who will be starting the other game as of now.

[Jcon8958]

UMB goes down today 7-6 to Salem St. fall to 9-4 with a big game tommorow vs. Worcester St.

[KSCfan]

Jconn thanks for the heads up, and i dont know if i am on the bandwagon but i would love to see UMB take one of those games.  If i wasnt going to keene vs western then i would love to go to those games, but i havent gotten to see the owls live yet

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!  The NH State video?

Who made this?  Who are the singers??

[wordsmith]

Not sure....The singers are probably from Mass and just posin' to as they claim get rich from the song and move to Rye.

But still great words man:

Catch me up at Loudin, at the Speedway for the race yo
I made the flannel shirt more famous than a scarecrow
Dont drink and drive here, listen to what I say
even though we put our liquor stores right on the highway

Great video word!!

My predictions for the weekend...

ECSU runs over Western Friday and takes both from the Beacons Saturday.  Unlike last year, both games of the doubleheader will be close.  Too much offense for Eastern as Lebrun will not start and neither will Adriano (according to Jcon and the fact he threw earlier this week).

Keene St. will get Armstrong in game one but will prevail against the crafty lefty like they did two years ago in the conference tournament opener.  Look for game one to be a low scoring game but the Owl offense heats up in game two.

USM sweep RIC.  Colin Henry and Ben Ives (?) provide good 1-2 punch and RIC still not quite there yet.  Still, both games are close. 

Dartmouth sweeps Plymouth-  Corsairs get a chance to win big in one game but other game will be a close game.  Look for Talis and Macchi to lead the Corsair offense.  Hey, lets not forget they got off to a 3-0 start last year.

What I think and a preview of this weekends big games!!
