MLB has informed both teams to expect to wait until at least 4:00 cst to determine whether or not the game will be played.

7th- Silsbee B- 20 HJ (White)- 0 8th Silsbee B- 0 HJ (White)- 6

Seems like even the coaches involved have a lot of the same concerns I had when we first heard about this. Here is the original link to see the discussion we had on this last May: [Hidden Content]

Actually I clicked on it to see the trash talking. Imagine my disappointment. Uhh really, I'm serious I couldn't. It's two teams that think they are way better than they really are. I'll pass.

Where is the option for "I couldn't care less" ? Because frankly I couldn't care less about this matchup.

About 8 years ago I was coaching a Junior High game in Liberty. I had a kid that forgot his mouthpiece. We had brought exrtas so I went to the equipment bag and pulled one out. I handed to the kid and started to walk off. He stopped me and in all seriousness said (this is no lie) "Do you have any boiling water so I can get it to fit my mouth". I was so dumbstruck I couldn't even give him a snappy come back. A more recent one (last night) I had a kid on my 8th grade B team line up at wing. He got down in a 3 point stance at which point someone from the stands (his mom or sister) called his name. He proceeds to come out of the stance, turn and wave to them. Then he gets back in the stance. I think the official was laughing so hard he couldn't throw a procedure flag.

Silsbee does have some good chicken, although last year when I wa sthere channel 4 was also there with there tailgate pit. So I got to have some Zummo links, pork chops and fried chicken. Barbers Hill has some really good nachos, lots of cheese. H-J's visitor side concession is pretty good too. They had Crawfish Pistolettes last week, that were excellent.

Ac ouple of things. If he had tagged Berkman first it wouldn't have mattered if he were on the bag or not. because it is a force he has to move to second 1st base is not a safe haven for him. But as soon as Cirrillo tagged the bag, Berkman had the right to 1st base. The best play the Brewers could have made was to tag Berkman and then touch first. The only way they could have gotten a force at home would have been to throw there immediately without making any other outs first.

I really like to look at [Hidden Content] . I use this and several other resources with my 5th grade Science students on weather (which we are actually covering now). But I have a question for you, COOP. A friend and I were having a discussion about the models that weather underground shows. He says that there are some more trusted than others. Is this the case? He started showing me some of the historical models that each had run and it seemed that a couple of them were closer than the others more often than not. Are there any particular models that you trust more than others? Are some models more accurate at certain types of forecasts (i.e. long range) while others are better at a different type of forecast (short range)? Just something I have been thinking about and wanted to see if I could get an expert opinion on it.

Can someone spare some wet wipes. I have to clean the coke off my monitor now

from Buster Olney's blog on espn insider: Alfonso Soriano hit the waiver wire Tuesday, and in talking with folks around baseball yesterday, many are guessing the team most likely to be awarded the waiver claim is Houston. Whether the Astros can work out a trade with the Nationals is another issue, but certainly, Houston does have enough pitching depth to make a decent offer to the Nationals. I know this, after my Livan Hernandez mistake: The Nationals have until midday Monday to work out a deal. If you have insider, the link is here

Yeah I didn't like it last week either: [Hidden Content]

... this is a little ridiculous. [Hidden Content] HARTFORD, Conn. -- High school football coaches in Connecticut will have to be good sports this fall -- or risk a suspension. The football committee of the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, which governs high school sports, is adopting a "score management" policy that will suspend coaches whose teams win by more than 50 points. A rout is considered an unsportsmanlike infraction and the coach of the offending team will be disqualified from coaching the next game, said Tony Mosa, assistant executive director of the Cheshire, Conn.-based conference. "We were concerned with any coach running up the game. There's no need for it," Mosa said. "This is something that we really have been discussing for the last couple of years. There were a number of games that were played where the difference of scores were 60 points or more. It's not focused on any one particular person." Some have dubbed it the "Jack Cochran rule," after the New London High football coach, who logged four wins of more than 50 points last year. In New London's 60-0 rout of Tourtelotte/Ellis Tech, Cochran enraged the Tourtelotte bench by calling a timeout just before halftime. Tourtelotte's coach was arrested on breach of peace charges after police say he struck a security guard and an assistant New London coach. Leo Facchini, New London's athletic director, called it unfair to single out his coach. Facchini said he and Cochran tried to pull in the reins during New London's 90-0 drubbing of Griswold last season by trying to get both sides and the timekeeper to agree to run a continuous clock. Some states, including Iowa, continuously run the game clock in the second half if a team has a 35-point lead. The Connecticut committee rejected a similar proposal because members thought it would unfairly cut into backups' playing time. ___________________________________________________________ The problems I see with it are this: 1) You open it up for a team who is getting beat pretty bad to "throw" the game bad enough to get beat by 50+ just so the other coach gets a suspension. 2) I have coached games where we have been beaten by more than 50 and where we have won by more than 50. in both cases the winning teams had their 3rd-4th string players in the game and the loser still couldn't stop them. In the game we won, we had a 3rd string senior D-Lineman, who had played all of 5 varsity downs in his entire career. He intercepted a pass on the opponents 4 yardline and stumbled into the endzone to put us up by 54. What should the coaches have done? Told him not to score because it would have been more than 50? The only alternative is to either let the other team score on you (something coached hate to do) or start kneeling the ball when you get close to 50. As a coach I'd be more embarassed by these than by losing by 100. In the words of Steve Spurrier "If you don't want us to run up the score, then stop us"

I kinda like this one:
