Scott is a great ECSU Alum.  He shows up a couple times every year and throws some BP.  Really good guy.  Hope he gets to the big show this year.

Well TEE fans if we keep getting snowed or rain out we might hit the top five in the pole without playing a game. http://www.d3baseball.com/top25/2009/week-3.  Hope the rain gets through the NJ area early tomorrow and we get a good game out of the boys.  Like to see 9 innings of desire and focus.  This is what the line-up looks like, if I remember correctly.

Parke-6
Bass-4
Castillo-5
Gilblair-1/DH
Schult-9
Hobbs-3
Kingsley-8
Musson-7
Mags-2

Looks like a good line-up to me, I thought Cousineau would be in center but I guess Kingsley did some good things in practice.

D, 

Thanks for the update.  The NY Metro weather looks to be Ok for tomorro at 3pm.  Some sun, mild, maybe a brief spritzer, but nothing to cause any delays.

Looks like a great first line-up,  Shawn give them hell

If I wasn't in Hartford for a meeting I would be in Hoboken NJ

Good luck to theWarriors in thier opener.  Looking forward to some more sun and 80's in Phoenix on Tuesday.

Stormtroopers of the empire will the eastern game be available today online?  Or on the radio.  LEC baseball is finally back, we got rain for the first time up here in hampshire instead of snow. Never thought i would be so happy to see rain.  Word whats the swamp looking like?  Keene opens up on sat against TCNJ which almost got no hit by wheaton yesterday.  The Wheaties looking pretty strong this year and i am looking forward to seeing the Little East match up against them. 

On another note around the LEC...

RIC off to a 5-0 start down in FLA.  Swept Elms and Coe which sound more like a box companies than colleges.  But, they beat fitchburg as well.  They play a double today and the first real test will be Cortland tommorow and Wheaton on the 19th.  Still the YMCA must be blaring as the anchorheads out to a 5-0 start.

Western picked up a win yesterday to improve to 2-1 against mt st vincent.  They head south on friday and open down there with Salem State. 

Everyone else opens up over the weekend.  BASEBALL IS BACK!!!!!!!!!

First report on the Gilblair watch... 3 up 3 down looking. As Manny said in LA ...... He's baaaaack!

Swamp is still covered in snow, albeit a couple of slushy inches. Good thing is the field is not frozen. Never had a chance to over the winter as it was protected by the early ice storm. Once it dries out they'll be ready to roll. Mid-April with any luck.

On another note, some of you may know I have a son who coaches at the D-III level in New England. He tore his ACL last night playing in a men's BB league. Tomorrow he loads up and heads to Arizona. Please wish him well if you see him.

Hopkins takes off for Phoenix on Thursday.  Do we play his team, or should I just look for a coach who appears to be in pain?

Good luck to all the guys on their spring trips.
