KSCFAN u cant really say they havent played anyone UMD was 3-0 in league play with a sweep over KSC and a win vs. #1 Eastern. But i agree with you to a point I cant wait to see how they do versus the big dogs of the league starting this friday wit USM.

Jcon,

Above statement makes very little sense to me.  Big Dogs are? USM - OK and PSC NO!!!!

We love your unrelenting faith in the Beacons, but sometimes, you write like you are sort of out of touch with reality

Howdy all,

Another day of yucky weather. The swamp is well, swampy. The Feds opened the damn dam and the Ashuelot River is as high as we've seen since the flood of 2005. Water last night was gushing up out of the storm drains behind left and right field fences. We really need some dry weather.

On the subject of water, I saw the Red Sox had Teddy Kennedy throw out the first pitch at yesterday's home opener. Not sure if you caught the event.

Teddy came out in a golf cart...thank God Jim Rice was the one doing the driving, if Ted had been behind the wheel Rice could well have ended up face down in the water bucket in the Tampa dugout.....

Seems like a high number,( 6 total I think) of hit batsmen in the Montclair and Springfield games.

I guess these guys have decided to take one for the team to get on base!!!

Any official NCAA rules re this???

Looking for any way possible to beat ECSU these last two games

I wasnt talkign about this weekend I was saying there first big test versus the better teams in the league is friday. Come on would never call PSU a big dog team.

Word, poor old Teddy, never made a mistake in his life. You need to lighten up on the guy. How about his change? That you might comment on. Instead of the same arm motion as his fastball, it looked like one to push someone out the door.

This bad weather is going to pile up the games for keene at the end of the year.  They are going to have like 8 games in like 5 days.  Good thing they have 50 pitchers on the roster because they are going to need everyone of them as we get to the end of the schedule

[ecfaninri]

KSCfan...
I think you're right about the games piling up for Keene. I think the new format for the LEC tourney kind of hinders most teams in the conference. With the type of "normal" New England weather we get, ANY bad weather makes for a backlog of games and you better have at least 15 arms you can use to get through that stretch. If it looks like the sun has a chance of coming out- you gotta play, and get used to it because as DGilblair will tell you from experience (06 and 07) those tournament games have to be played. This weekend's forecast does not look good but certainly better than last weekend. I don't know if Keene and USM  ever get used to it but they seem to perform well under the circumstnaces. Any news on the potentail future for upgrades to the Swamp?

Congrats to yet another honor for Shawn being named ECAC Co-Player of the week. It seems he is in a groove right now.

Ecfaninri- nothing of yet about the field updates.  I havent talked to the KSC coaches in a while about that so maybe thier are and i just dont know about it.  Right now the focus is obviously on the season, and all if any changes would likely occur in the summer and or fall for next season.  The problem i think in my own humble opionion is the drainage of the field.  SInce its on the swamp its hard for the field to take a lot of water.  Other than digging the crap out of the field and putting in a better system what would you do?

[Jcon8958]

UMB beat Framingham St. last night 14-7. They play Lasell tonite @ 7 looking for there 4th straight win.

Tradgey bout that younfg pitcher from the angels 22 years old unreal.

KSCfan....
I sure the state  had engineers looking at it, however, it might not fit into an "stimulus" or shovel ready projects for New Hampshire and the State University. The University of Rhode Island received a $1.4M anonymous donation to put in field turf this year for their program. On that site there were drainage problems as well that had to be addressed. Maybe there is some Owl Fan that wants to help out the baseball problem.

Good Luck this weekend vs. USM
