BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[wordsmith]

Ahh, the Evil Empire term was coined by me.

Consider it a complement; we all dislike EConn but respect the success.

That's what happens when you are consistently successful.

Word

Thanks for the explaination, was just curious on the terminology.  Sort of like "those damn Yankees" so to speak

Who is your pet DIII NCAA team, if I may ask?

I root for:
1) Any team playing against EConn
2) Some team to score 58 runs in 1 game vs Bridgewater St.
I follow:
1) St. Joe's - Cause Will Sanborn is a quality human being
2) Western NewEngland - Coach Labranche is a quality guy.
3) Thomas College  & Husson
4) Keene State - Good guys on the coaching staff as well
5) Southern Maine (EEIW) Evil Empire in Waiting)

I know it probably makes no sense but it is what it is.

Wordsmith,

All honorable pursuits, except #1 of course 

I am enjoying communication with DIII Basball fans. Great discussions

Good Luck to your causes except noted above

Thanks for the dialog

Go ECSU Warriors!!!!!!!!!!!

[kscer]

Keene State 5/5 will end LEC play unless rainouts

Mearly describing major opponents,(dates) ECSU faces in 2nd half of season.  what did you think I meant???

I misunderstood. Sorry. I thought you were predicting KSC for the remainder of the LEC season. I see them 8 wins and two losses going into the tourney. Right now the schedule should support that but any more rainout could change that.

Keene St 8-2 going into the LEC tourny means one loss in double headers against USM, ECSU, UMass Boston, hmmmm, that may be a little optimistic.

KSC is 3-1 in conference with 10 to go. They can go 8-2 for the remainder. Kene has played 24 games, stats only reflect 19.

Dear Evil Empire Alum:

I do root for EConn whenever they advance to the World Series. Always root for the NE rep. even if I must turn to the dark side once in a while.

Thanks wordsmith,
maybe # 5, ( DIII CWS Championship) is not too far away.

I am enjoying this debate between kscer and EConnAlum. I'd say that kscer has a slight edge in the facts department, but also a slight edge in the whining department as well.

ECSU Sweeps Rhode Island College 12-3 and 17-13

Second game was not pretty but the warriors are 9-0 in LEC conference play.

Any other LEC scores?

[ECSUalum]

Southern Maine Sweeps Plymouth State 6-2, 11-8

[wordsmith]

Keene State beat Plywood State yesterday; swept UMess Boston today.

They play Plywood State tomorrow and WConn in DH action on Tuesday.

KSC v UMB. Once again the umpiring interfered with the game with both head coaches being ejected for arguing bad calls... one on a balk call and one on a interfering with the catcher.
To all you knowledgeable folks out there, What does a catcher have to do to get interference called on a stolen base attempt? I guess pushing the batter out of the way doesn"t count, only throwing the ball and making contact on the throw counts. That's why coaches tell hitters to move across the plate an steal attempts. Pet peeve on my part but a stupid rule.

Conway pitched well. I would want him on my team, jcon.

I was also at the games today and was very close to getting thrown out as well the umpiring was just awful there was no excuse for that bad of umpiring at this level those guys need to both be fired or suspeneded

That balk call was awful that ump cant make that call from that angle in a million years he it wasnt a balk either way that is what turned all the tide in the 2nd game

[ECSUalum]

WHINE WHINE WHINE!!!!!!!!!!!

[wordsmith]

UMess Boston upsets Southern Maine. Clipboards are flyin' in Gorham tonight.

[ECSUalum]

UMESS Boston USM game any scores

[kscer]

WHINE WHINE WHINE!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not whining. There is a problem in the LEC with umpiring. The umpire at the 2nd KSC/RIC  game was fired. The ADs went against the coaches choice and hired a very weak umpiring group.
