BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[mans007]

Haha!! well i can see i ruffled some feathers.  Anyway, I think we are all looking forward to this baseball season and we are all ready to go. The academic comment was a dig at your "jostens ranking" line drop.  I look forward to our upcoming post's and a great college baseball season.

and by the way, i thought the cafeteria food comment was pretty funny! c'mon!

mans006 & 1/2

So, let me get this straight. You throw a 'turd-bomb' out there (oops, sorry, can I say that here Mr. Turner?) about KSC being a dog-crap school in response to a legit jostens award in 2005 and then when we ask you to back it up you retreat to looking forward to a great baseball season.....

-1 Smite and ya'll lose 1/2 a man-up point off your name. You are now officially mans006 & 1/2.

The cafe food in every school is sketchy at best, so obvious humor scores no points here. Off beat, bizzzzarre, and tactless humor pointed at every school is acceptable.

By the way, having insulted KSC I want you to picture Game Day in the Swamp.

Word you kill me.....006 and 1/2 you don't want to get those hillbillie's going.  I'm just glad they offer baseball in college or my son would have had a full time job the last three years.  Wait, that would have saved me........never mind.  I'm sure KSC is a fine school as like the others in the LEC. 

ECSUalum I hope you are correct with this prediction:
"Look for TEE and Wheaton to fight it out in Mansfield in the NE Regionals, with TEE on to Wisconsin.   Look for possibly USM, (with an at large in NY Regionals?) and a fight with SUNY Cortland for a ticket to Appelton."

I could really see all three of those teams at ECSU in May.  What a fight that will be.  Let's just say USM wins the LEC and Tournament.  Thats puts them at ECSU for the regional.  Now ECSU has a good year at 30-10 or close to that.  They will stay a ECSU for the regional as the host? I think so, no?  Then Wheaton makes it, maybe KSC has another great year.  Do they send one of them to NY?  WOW I'm so far ahead of myself here.  We didn't even play a game yet.  Could be real interesting.

ecfaninri are you going to VA next month?

ECSU and USM split the first weekend then both win out and go 13-1, tiebrakers come in and i dont know them so we will leave it at that. Wow Dgilblair, if eastern was an at-large and had to play in NY instead of at home, that would really ......

POY - Burleson
Pitcher - Gilblair

I sense DGilblair being a little superstitious re his predictions, but I understand, as baseball players and dads can be that way. Jinks them if you predict them to win

Well I'm not going to say you are to totally wrong with your analogy.  Now lets see......KSC won the LEC.  USM was the second best team in the LEC.  ECSU played their way to a regional with the strength of their schedule and ended up in NY. Doesn't that give me an out? With what each team lost, just in starters, from last year you would have to think USM has to be the #1 pick pre-season in the LEC.  Now in MHO KSC lost to much pitching to do what they did last year.  If they prove me wrong with some new faces it'll be fun to watch.....no it probably won't be now that I think of it.  We will see.  I think someone MAY challenge KSC for third this year.....I'm just kidding. Someone in an earlier post said it will come down to the final weekend and thats what it will more than likely be.

ESCUalum...
All baseball dads can be superstitious. Moms are worse. I can't sit near my wife during a game, especially if he is pitching. I can't deal with answering the famous quote" What's he doing wrong"? If I only knew what he was doing wrong, I'd be in the dugout with a uniform on. However, it is safer and easier watching, critiquing, from behind the fence spitting seeds and drinking gatorade. So far I haven't lost a game yet.

I am cautious to predict the future, but I like the fact that the Not So Evil Empire has a strong pre-Lec Conference schedule between February 28 and March 28 when they open up against the Muskies. During that time we will get to see how they fair against the likes of Randolph-Macon, Suffolk, Farmingdale, Johns Hopkins, Williams, and Calvin.

USM will Burleson, D'Alfonso, and Schmidt will get plenty of attention and will not dissapoint their fans throughout the season. KSC with Chevalier returning will inspire the newcomers,as will the Anchorman.

EConn returns pitching,hitting, and with have to improve defensively. And the rest.... well..... that remains to be seen.

As the great american philosopher - Yogi Berra once said - " I don't dwell on the past.. there's no future in it."  Let the practices and games begin.

DGilblair.... I am not sure if we're heading to Virginia, however, reservations have been made for Phoenix. we'' get a chance to see KSC against Johns Hopkins out there as well. Plus, I am hopig to save some time for a brautwurst sandwich come Memorial Day weekend in Appleton.

Well stated.  Good luck to your son this year.
I just have a good feeling about the Warriors this year!!!

[kscer]

Something has awakened me from my winter's sleep. Mans007 comments about academics was a cheap shot. The Josten's award is important because it recognizes balance in an institution, cultural life, academics and atheletics. My son played ball at KSC and graduated, and we have no complaints.

I think KSC will struggle with pitching this year, but their hitting and defense will be very strong. Their hitters have seen the best the league has to offer and beaten it before. They lost Ford, but they have Darak and Doyen. Chevalier is a gold glove and Perkins anchors centerfield and if he gets on is a threat to score. If pitching can keep them close, they will win a lot of games. The kids have a team attitude I haven't seen as strong at ESCU and USM. They dont need a coach to tell them not to quit. I see them battling at the end for the LEC title.

[mans007]

Well said kscer. I apoligize for the cheap shot. you are a true fan and supporter. i really look forward to how things play out this season. the competitive juices flow and things are said. dgilblair as well says it best; to have a son playing is a certain degree of torture. i have a great liking for as many call it "TEE" because of the great service they've done for northeast baseball for the last 20+ years. It has often gone unadvertised because they are DIII but what they have done with the consistency they have done it for is unheard of in college athletics and i as a new england sports fan appreciate it a great deal. To win, year in and year out gives me and others a appreciation for the "good" side of sports in a age when so much especially in baseball is tainted.

Am I the only USM fan here...It's lonely....

[KSCfan]

KSCer welcome back from your winter slumber, nice to finally get some more KSC backup as Word and I have been trying to hold the line down outnumbered against TEE lovers.  Hockey Burleson is back again, jeez i feel like that kid has been at USM forever now.  He is one heck of a player that is for sure and i agree with whomever stated that he will be player of the year in the LEC.  Pitcher  of the year, well Conway isnt around to get the life time award so on paper i would guess Gilblair would be the front-runner.  Practices start soon and i need March to come because we just got 10 more inches of snow up here in Hampshire
