Bluejay... I understand that you are fervent in your support of Elmhurst and I admire that, but I am nearly certain that your methods may only hurt the program you care about... "don't fight in front of the kids." Take it somewhere else... it seems as though this is a private matter and should be addressed as such.

It's a good thing the Elmhurst coach is only trying to teach life lessons and not spelling.

But then again, baseball players abbreviate everything anyway, right poppa??

I agree with Poppa. There appears to be an ongoing issue between the coach and a current or former player. This is not the place to have that argument. This has become a personal issue between these two and does not belong on this board.

I'm sure the Kenosha school system requires students to be computer literate but when Augie was going through the system, there was no such thing as personal computers. Augie probably did his typing on an old Underwood and knowing him, he probably struggled to get the paper loaded!!!

Still 10 sugars, right Aug?

Actually, I believe those first cumbersome computers in Kenosha Unified were PWPs, or "personal word processors." The computer labs in each school did, indeed, keep up with the times. Since my son was in the same class (year), I can say with certainty that kids in Kenosha schools in those days DID use computers. How computer literate they became is quite another matter.

I know that when I had workstudy with Augie back in the day, I used to have to check his email for him. I would walk into his office and he was sitting in front of the PC looking lost... or playing the back nine at TPC Sawgrass.

Quit taking things so literally prof! All the kidding about Augie is good natured. I don't think anyone on this board cares if he used a computer or typewriter while he was attending Kenosha schools. Augie and computers are not very friendly to one another!

(see Poppa's post!)

I must have missed my post in which I objected to kidding Augie, or about Augie. Sorry about that!

Carthage wins game #1 over NCC 2-1... Carthage won it on a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the 7th. Carthage bats are struggling, but the pitching has been amazing... team ERA under 2.00 right now.

Augie wins 11-5 and 7-1....this one probably wasn't Coach Jones' fault since his pitchers got ripped.

A few more notes on the Augustana games today.

In game 1, Kevin Kuntz threw a complete game (7 inn.) 3 hitter giving up 0 ER (5 R). He is now 5-0 on the season with a 1.47 ERA.

In game 2, Andrew Setter threw a complete game (9 inn.) 4 hitter giving up 1 ER. He is now 4-0 with a 2.16 ERA.

Looks like Carthage won both today over NCC. As BigPoppa said, Carthage's pitching staff has an unbelievable 1.53 team ERA after the games today.

Great start for North Park this year.

They beat Millikin by the scores of 1-0 and 8-7 today.

Also, IWU and Wheaton split. Wheaton won 2-0 and IWU won 11-3.

irish21 · April 02, 2006, 04:09:16 PM

4-3 NCC at the end of 5

augie_superfan · April 02, 2006, 04:40:26 PM

Augie/Elmhurst game postponed till Monday

REDMENFAN · April 02, 2006, 05:21:16 PM

Carthage won today's game against NCC 6-4, that's all the details i have now. Also just want to say congratulations to North Park on sweeping Millikin. I have nothing against Millikin, but when is the last time NP got a sweep in a conference DH?
