BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

What happen to Van Sickler being that shutdown pitcher.  I was away for the weekend but didn't someone say that SU was going to take Game 1 because Van Sickler was a shutdown pitcher.  Good job Bishops looks like Knowles pitched a great game.  

Please review what I stated and what you said "Catfishncwc".

You are the one that made the comment about VanSickler being a "shutdown" pitcher not I.

SU vs. NCW weekend matchup.

I'm going with the VanSickler kid and SU in Game 1.  Seriously, who would not take that pick?

Game 2, might go to the home team NCW because to many unknowns about SU's staff since that Rabung kid is out. 

Did I not get the Memo, since when did VanSickler become a shutdown type pitcher.

Your right I called him a shutdown pitcher only after you all but called anyone who would not pick him to him game 1 a idiot.  But I guess my bishops did not seem to think your statement had any validity to it.  But you did your game 2 prediction correct.

I called nobody an "idiot", so stop with your nonsense already.

I didn't say that either I said you all but called anyone who would not pick that game 1 outcome a SU win a idiot.  He made that pick seem like a sure bet and if they dare not say SU was going to win since it was a lock in your opinion.  How else were we to look if we did not pick SU as a winner in your eyes.

Looks like Ferrum is trying to make a early season statement.  Though they will see this Weekend if they have the Right Stuff against CNU

Dude really.  Really.   I look forward to it.

Hahaha...me too. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable, particularly when it comes to baseball. But from all my years of reading this board, narch and Catfish seem to know the game pretty darn well themselves. I hope you have a good-sized frog on the end of that hook (FYI, frogs have long been rumored as great bait for catching catfish )

Great come-from-behind regional win yesterday for the Captains...especially against a team in Va Wesleyan who already has an impressive regional victory as well (vs. Salisbury). I was looking forward to seeing how CNU would fair against a ballclub the caliber of Salisbury, but I guess that will have to wait for now. And I'm not suprised to hear that Coach Boothe (VWC) got tossed AT ALL. He's a great coach who won't hesitate for a second to stand up for his guys...something that players from all teams admire.

USA,

   Think something like, gee whiz, what could somebody like the 'fish do professionally that would make them really knowledgeable about baseball.....

I've never questioned his baseball knowledge, he is the one that started it in with me, trying to put words into my posts that I never stated.

Baseball is simple, People are complex!

Hey CNUball25 how was the show? As for the coach from VWC getting tossed it is nice to know a coach will back his players. Did he do it with class?

Ferrum gets DH sweep over Marywood University from Scranton, PA by the scores of 8 to 3 and 6 to 2.


Conf/Overall
2-0  11-2 ... AU
2-0  05-4 ... NCW
1-1  07-3 ... CNU  
1-1  07-4 ... MU
0-0  06-1 ... FC
0-2  03-3 ... SU
0-2  03-6 ... GB


The USA-South is 42-23 overall, not a bad start on the young season!

I am going to wait till Ferrum gets back into the USA South to make a judgement on them. The teams they have played are a combined 5-18, with Roanoke the only team with a winning record.

Boysofsummer: As far as Coach Boothe is concerned, I don't know honestly know. I know for a fact that Hokieone was there however...probably a better person to ask. I've seen him get after umpires before though. Whether he does a "classy" job or not would probably depend on ones own definition...I've never heard him scream obscenities at a umpire if that's what you're wondering, which in my opinion is a big thing. Telling an umpire he's God-awful is one thing...screaming cuss words with children running around is totally different...

And The Show is great...the game play and graphics are a lot like last year's version though (the game play is the main reason I buy The Show). They've added more batting stances, you can customize your players more (from the color of the nuckle on the batting gloves to the color of the shoe laces...it's pretty neat), they've added a new "pick off mode" where you can vary your pick-offs to first base, and some other things. The hitting is still very difficult in the "road to the show" mode, but all-in-all I think it's great. I was talking to a friend of mine tonight at the gym...he runs a site called stickskills.com, which is essentially a gamer-review type thing...EA Sports even flys them out on occasion to review games. Anyways, he said The Show's game play this year blows MLB 2K 10' out of the water...2K still has the incredibly graphics, but The Show is overall probably a better game...incase you were looking to get one of them. Hope this helps you out a little!
