BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

CNUball25 I agree totally about a coach dealing with umpires, as long as he is not making everyone blush and is not trying to intimidate the ump get your moneys worth. I think I will check out the show. Thanks for the review. I will also check out the website. Thanks. From the people I spoke to about the CNU game they all said that the coach didn't make a big scene out of it and did let the ump know what he thought about his/their calls. The only negative comment I heard at all was that he got high five from his players as exiting, but I understand that.

HSC just beat AU

[cnuball25]

Shocker...now 0-3 vs. opponents with a winning record:)

Just messing with you guys...not gonna get that war started again...and I know, I know...they beat CNU...but just saying:)

But on a serious note, how NICE is it to see baseball on TV again??? Every day I come home from work and see spring training games on the MLB network I'm reminded of how close we are to the greatest season of all. Peter Gammons picked the Orioles to be the suprise of the American League this year (not meaning they're making the playoffs, just simply stating that they're going to open some eyes), so we might get to see some good baseball played in Baltimore, who knows? Whatcha think guys??

Not even gonna mention the Averett comment Haha Just Playing. But I am also excited to see baseball season start again. I was getting tired of watching basketball highlights all day on ESPN, but I do love March Madness. And as an Orioles fan I'm also excited to hear that they should make some noise this year. They are a young team so hopefully the young guys can pull a little Tampa Bay action.

i just don't see the o's finishing higher than 4th in the AL east...which means they'll be largely irrelevant...i give them 78- 83 wins, at best

Oh ye of little faith: IF the young pitchers,with a year's experience, continue to blossom, and IF the young outfield, with all star potential throughout, continues to improve, and IF Miggy can have a nice twilight at third base, and IF Weiters continues  the late progress toward all star status he showed last season, the O's may not win the division, but they can finish over .500 and cause some grief...and look strong, talented, and young going forward.

  I am an optimist...and I still despise that snot nosed kid from New York that interfered with Tony Tarasco so many years ago. I had Series tickets lined up and will forever think that if that little twerp stays in his seat, the O's win that game (they would have been up in the series going back to Baltimore), and I finally get to see a World Series game!

I will never forget that either! Too bad they didn't have instant replay then like they do now! But, I hope that if anything the O's can contend this year unlike their past few dreadful seasons. It's a hard thing to do when you have the Yanks, Red Soxs, and Rays all in your division!

[Catfishncwc]

I don't think we will contend this year but I am just glad they are seemingly going to be relevant this year.  Does any one else read Roch blog on MASN.  It is a great Orioles info source.   

[hokieone]

Yes, excellent blog!

Oh ye of little faith: IF the young pitchers,with a year's experience, continue to blossom, and IF the young outfield, with all star potential throughout, continues to improve, and IF Miggy can have a nice twilight at third base, and IF Weiters continues  the late progress toward all star status he showed last season, the O's may not win the division, but they can finish over .500 and cause some grief...and look strong, talented, and young going forward.

that's a lot of IF's.....to finish .500 and 10-15 games out of the wild-card

and if i'm not mistaken, that "snot nosed kid" ended up being an all-conference division III baseball player

orioles fans have always had a misdirected sense of anger...they should have been upset with the umpire and his crew for missing a call, not some 12 year old kid doing what ANY 12 year old would do at a big league ball game

I ever think at one point we were recruiting him to be a Battling Bishop. 

[hokieone]

Yes, he did do well in college, but while he may save  the world someday, he cost me a chance to finally see a World Series game, and will always be...a snot nosed kid...in the Christian sense of course.
