BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[moc323]

Hey, guys...

I hope you don't mind a NEWMAC guy stopping by for some friendly chat, as we all start one of the best weeks of the year (for players and for us fans:)))  

Best of luck to whomever you are each pulling for.....and, we know there will be some great baseball to see in all of our conference tourneys, this weekend and again in the Regionals next week.  

Let's hope we each get to actually see some games in person, and/or online when work "interferes" with our teams' baseball schedules:)))

Just thought I'd do a quick LEC stop by and wish y'all some luck----as they say in the southern regions!
Will ask the ladies in my family to do a little "sun dance" for the Maine game sites this week......as, you definitely don't want me dancing in any respect !!   I do have one bro living in Windham, Me/  teaching, coaching H.S./College soccer the last several years.....and also working at seaport area of Portland........so, I do have some family ties up north, in general.   He was a black bear/soccer in his day...       Again, from a "we all love sports" standpoint---I'm hoping you guys get in most, or all of your tourney...    Best O'Luck,    talk soon...thanks for leaving the LEC door open for visitors:))   MOC323

I just checked the weather forecast for Bangor and it is no better.  For anyone who doesn't know why in the world I would mention that, ask someone who was around in 2006.

As I said in an earlier posting....2006 the year from hell for KSC.

I work about 15 miles from  Gommorrah(thanks Word) and the rain has been pretty much off and on and light since about 9:30. does appear to have stopped for now. Hopefully the field holds up. There is supposed to be another round of rain on the way.  Not the conditions you hope for but it is Maine weather after all.(Hey, it's not snow)    Good luck to all!

And it's not Bangor!!

I have the Weather Channel local interactive Portland radar running and it looks like rain pulled out about noon. Nothing in S. NE as of now, we actually have a few peeks of sun down here in SW CT and muggy.  Hope they have a tarp at Gammorrah.  I guess temps will be cool but nothing nasty.

Manny Ramirez tested positive for a banned substance....immediate 50 game suspension!!!!!

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/baseball/mlb/05/07/manny/index.html?cnn=yes

OMG!!!!    WHAT a shock he said in mock surprise. 

from Manny's lips to our ears....

"Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me," Ramirez said in a statement issued by the players' union. "Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. " ---Manny Ramirez

Now I don't make $25 mil a year, nor do I have to take a drug test periodically to stay employed.....but when a doc prescribes meds for me I always inquiry what's in it??? If I made $25 mil I'd be having a whole friggn' lab test the stuff before I ingested it. Manny would have been better to use the 'clear or the cream' defense of Mr. Barry Out on Bonds

(Please note Word has been off his meds for a while now, thus the bizzare nature of his postings - Word's Doctors)

I know the 800 pound gorilla in the corner is what % of D-III players juice, we've been there and done that on this Board---we all know it happens, we all know players that have been dismissed/suspended, or otherwise disappeared from a roster...for team violations or what not...and this is D-III! Imagine the level of deceit in the pro ranks. So as much as it pains me to say once again Jose Canceso was right......

Steriod use has permeated all levels of society - actors, rap stars, mascots (how do you think the RIC mascot got so ripped?) Where will it stop?

http://www.goanchormen.com/index.html

There are still 103 names (102 if you believe Manny was one of them) on the Mitchell Report list of players that tested positive for steriods. We know A-Fraud.....and ya'll know the other 102 will leak eventually. Now that that troll reporter Seleena Roberts has published her book I think we'll see the rest of the list leak soon.

Fellas the Little East TV is some really good quality.  RIght now UMB puts 3 on the board in the top of the first and as we go to the bottom of the 1st
UMB 3
Souther Maine coming to bat

[KSCfan]

I tell you what and i can not believe i am saying this but UMB bats are looking very strong.  They are pounding Therrian right now as they have scored 4 runs and are still whacking in the top of the 2nd.  McCormak has 2 doubles so far.

[KSCfan]

3 errors so far for USM and they are in the top of the second, so far UMB bats and Southern Maine defense the big story

[KSCfan]

USM bats doing work up 9-6 in the 4th

[Rick Vaughn]

Wow - Big answer by USM...Those bats are no joke.  Just watched D'Alfonso drive a pitch over the 3rd basemens head for a 2B.  That's why he is so impressive to me.  You would assume such a big guy that hits for power would be all pull, but he really can drive the ball the other way.  Along with Trinity's Sean Killeen, they are the top two hitters in NE.

3 errors!!- How many clipboards were sacrificed?

Rick,

IMO, I'd have those two guys on the short list, but, I'd add Bobby Doyan, Cody Callahan, and Jeff Perkins from KSC and debate a 1-5.

President Obama just announced that he has declared Gommorrah Maine a disaster area and is diverting Federal Stimulus Money there to aid in the re-purchase of folding chairs, batting helments and clipboards for the USM baseball team.

May God be wiff dem.
