salisbury is on a roll with the beating they put on virginia and north carolina wesleyan this year. i know its early, but this could be the year of the Sea Gull. they have two guys that will head the rotation and a solid lineup. any guesses on who could be the first one to give SU their first "L" this season?

narch, don't you think a real rivalry should at least have some level of respect. I mean I really hated Methodist but I could never deny they had some greats team when I played. I am sure that Methodist players would have said the same thing. This Guilford vs. Greensboro thing just seems petty.

Question to our g-boro and guilford people out there, have you ever faced each other in a truly meaningful game like a NCAA regional game in your storied rivalry? Or is this just a rivalry based on being in the same city. I have very little knowledge on this rivalry so excuse my ignorance.

they were very impressive this weekend when I saw them against VWC, then they followed with good wins against NCWC. I think they may be the team to beat in the south this year. That lineup looked nice with Celenza and then Ryan Smith (transfer from UVA and Notre Dame) back to back. They will be a handful.

i think you're exactly spot-on...mutual respect is a big part of the mu/ncwc baseball rivalry, if you ask me - there is great disdain for one another, but it's tempered by respect and admiration...of course, i'm sure the monarchs have a twinge of jealousy, as well, since ncwc has two of those really nice rings and the monarchs haven't managed to win theirs...yet

It's a city thing, they're about 5 miles down the road. But I honestly don't see the problem in smack talk, I don't know why yall are getting your panties in a bunch. It's great for the rivalry, it'll make the game a hell of alot funner to play, especially when we walk all over them. If you don't like what the post says, skip over it and stop crying. I know that both teams are gonna be hyped up to play this weekend, alot of which will be caused by this message board. It may even bring more fans out. Weekend prediction 21-7 GBORO. Buchman out.

Ok, if that is the way you would like it Buchman, then I will give you a little input of my own.

You struck out 26 times last year in 119 at-bats, for a ratio of one strikeout in almost ever 3 at-bats. OK.

You had a .847 fielding percentage and had among the most errors on the team.

So, please stop acting like such a big dog and play the game. Your language and ranting ability is not impressive, it just further justifies why you couldn't hack ball at the Division II level.

Was all of this really nessesary to make such a point? Just sayin

those are some impressive stats buchnasty.... lets not do that this year.

TheRightHander · February 10, 2009, 06:40:14 PM

I think randolph macon is the team to beat this weekend by watching reading and listening.

BuchNasty · February 10, 2009, 07:23:14 PM

First off, anyone who knows a lick about baseball knows that generally a HR hitter strikes out alot. Teams keep them in the lineup because even though they'll strike out alot, they'll also drop bombs, which is what I do. Sure, I may strike out, but I'll also tank the next one 500 feet. How about you come out and watch me there big guy instead of just reading stats. I'm not running my mouth, I just know that I'm a great hitter. You'll see...You'll all see.

Second, Randolph Macon sounds like the best team in the ODAC. They won it last year right?

If you were hitting it 500 hundred feet you wouldnt be hangin round these parts. And its nice to see some humility from such an acomplished hitter, have fun at war memorial.

Between them and Lynchburg I would think. They won the conference tourney, but lynchburg was the regular season champ.

I like to see how NCWC rebounds this week vs. two tough opponents in Bridgewater and Randolph Macon Saturday. Offense looked morbid vs. Salisbury with only Creef, Woodlief and Rahm having consistent at bats this entire weekend.

CNU has a tough match-up vs Hampden Sydney Thursday to start their season. True test for the 2-0 Tigers.

Are you serious with this? Lets bring in the scouts from all over the place, Brad Buchman says he drops bombs 500 feet.

Two things: 1. Way to set yourself up for failure and put a nice fat bullseye on your back and 2. Again, are you serious with this?

BuchNasty · February 11, 2009, 01:10:48 AM

I love the haters, tell me I can't so when I do, I can shove it in your face. Come out to the game this saturday to see the laser show.

This neighborhood used to be such a nice place to visit...
