BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[kscer]

Good Luck to all the teams in the LEC -
I am hoping that Eastern takes care of business in game one vs USM because it is a long day for the loser of the first (10:00 am) game.

Good luck to KSC. A POX on the rest.

Talis looks to drop a bomb tomorrow, UMD upsets Keene. Later balll

I love the passion, the knowledge and the insight of the posters of the LEC board.  Always entertaining and usually thoughtful.(JConn and Santeezy can kind of get out of control-entertaining but not always thoughtful)       The LEC should get an at large bid just based on the passion and knowledge of it's fans.   None of the other boards in NE are even close and haven't seen much else from other regions that rivals it either. Keep it up everyone, I look forward to checking out the LEC board each day. very entertaining!

Stump-

Very good point!  There are some diehard fans in this conference and how can they be blamed.  This is going to be a great tournament!

We should get a slow pitch softball game going with all of us posters squaring off.  Santeezy and JCon are captains  

As for tomorrow:

Fear the UPSET!!!  It can happen anytime anywhere and I smell a hint of one in the air for early tomorrow morning.

Thats right I am putting Eastern on the upset alert.  Tough to beat a team three times in the same season and even tougher to beat a team three times in four days.  You better believe USM is going to bring a better effort to Mansfield and Colin Henry will be prepared.  Schmidt would be a good alternative against the Warriors if he could pitch the way he did two years ago when he shut them down in two appearances.

I smell it but I am not feeling it

Eastern 8 USM 6

The smell of upset will still linger in the air however, just like the smell of fresh manure wafting over from the field beyond the left field fence.  Yes KSC diehards, your Owls better be on their toes.  Once again, beating a team three times in a row is tough to do.  Plus, Dartmouth wants to prove they belong.  

Once again, I smell it but these Owls will fly above that

Keene 12 UMD 6

I dont know if a 4 over a 3 is considered an upset but I guess we can call it that.  Probably the most even matchup in the first round.  If these teams bring the same intensity that JCon and Santeezy bring to these boards then there will be plenty of fireworks tomorrow afternoon.  This has the makeup of a classic pitchers duel between Levesque and Dalton.

I think the offense and speed of Boston prevails and JCon inspires a comeback by constructing a make shift Beacon flag and racing up and down the first base bleachers!

UMB 10 RIC 7

Nightcap:

Sorry Corsairs, USM is not going out that easily.  It wont be a blowout though.  

USM 7 UMD 5

Day 1 predictions

USM over ECSU
UMD over KSC
UMB over RIC
ECSU over KSC

The 1 and the 2 seed both lose on day 1.... ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN THE LEC

[FBFBCH]

Henry is going to shuv against Econn and drop a bomb...USM upsets Econn tomorrow and UMD smacks Keene

[KSCfan]

Jconn is picking Keene to lose hmmmmm shocking but not going to happen, 1,1,wiggle or FBFBCH seems to fancy UMD as well.  I can not wait for the tournament to start.  My students have book work all day as KSCfan will locked away in the corner of his classroom huddle with the computer watching the games.

I have said it earlier and i will say it again
Eastern over USM
Keene over UMD
RIC over UMB
USM over UMD

Guys i was just looking at the tournament central on the LEC webpage.  I know this gets said a lot but, I feel like this year if you want to have any shot of winning this thing you must must must stay out of the losers bracket.  Since the tournament has been squashed a day you have more games crammed into a smaller space.  Winning a DH in the Little East is one of the hardest things to do as a team, i mean look at all the splits this year with teams playing each other.  If you come out of the losers bracket and make it to sat you dont have 2 games you have to win 3 games.  I dont know if this has ever been done before in the LEC tournament.  I was looking at the tournament schedule and if you lose early tommorow morning say Keene for instance you have to win 4 more games in a day and a half to win the tournament!!! 

STAY OUT OF THE LOSERS BRACKET

I wait all season for this tournament!!
Lets go OWLS

[LEC Fan]

If possible can you guys keep an updated score going? I dont have access to the video/stats here at work and it will just kill me to wait until the end of the day to check out scores! Any help would be appreciated with updates...thanks fellas!

[KSCfan]

Will do LEC Fan, stupid real jobs prevent people from doing whats most important in life... following baseball

[Hobbesy]

KSCFan-

Sorry to bring this up but we (Eastern) won four games in less than 24 hours to win the 2006 title.

Once again I apologize for that. 

Lets PLAY BALL!

[KSCfan]

[Hobbesy]

Great video as always!  And John does a very good job on the call!

Welp!  Bass hits a two-run home run.  2-0 Eastern.
