Other scores: Orange A Team beat Vidor B Team 21-14. Vidor A Team beat Groves B Team 20-0. Orange B Team was leading TC 10-5 when I left.

TC played pretty good today in the 19-3 win. Field was a little soggy from the rains this morning, but they got it in playing conditions. When we arrived at noon the field was a swamp and the concession stand had 3-4 inches of water in it. It was a swamp on the home side sides as well.

Just talked to our coach and he has already headed down to PA to check into his hotel room and he said that there is not a cloud in the sky. Sounds like we may be good to go!!!!! Best of luck to all teams!!!!!

As of this afternoon it was not up yet.

Our coach showed up at practice after the meeting and said the temporary fence will be 150 down the lines and 175 to center. Said the field was well really no different than the directors tourney. Ready to play!!!!!!

All we did was hit against them for 2 plus hours. But we did hit the ball well at times and had many more hits than outs. They were talking stuff to our kids as well as we were hitting many hard balls at them. It was fun for the dads and the kids too!!!!! This is about the kids right!!!!! ;D

daddy23, Are the field conditions any better than they were for the Directors Tourney? Three more days......My son cannot wait!!!!!!

Daddy23 are you going in as #1 or #2?????

Thanks daddy23. We get Groves right off the bat!!!! Why are all of the number 1 teams in one part of the bracket and the number 2 in the other half? Are you going in as Vidor 1 or 2. We are the number 1 and we are going in as the number 1.

Has the bracket been posted for public viewing? I know who we play in the first game, but would like to see the rest of the bracket.

Congrats on winning your league from the TC Shetland Scrappers!!!!! I knew that you guys had a good team when we played you this year. How many off of this team made the 1st and 2nd All Star team?

All-Stars will be announced tomorrow for the TC Pinto Division. I hear that 18 out of the 24 kids selected are 8 out of this league. Some pretty decent players.

Yes my son is on the first team. I am not a coach but I help at practice. We are a young team. We had practice last night for the first time and there were some bright spots and some bad spots. Only having three weeks is going to be tough. daddy23, I left you a message yesterday on your cell. Call me today.....TC wants to scrimmage Vidor if you are interested.

TC announced their two teams yesterday and practice will begin tomorrow. Our first team should be pretty strong. The Lugnuts had 4 kids make it, Scrappers had 3, Bulls had 3, Mudcats and SandGnats each had one make it. Bulls coach got the All-Star job this year for the first team.

I am ranking them as follows based on what I saw in the Shetland Directors Tourney: 1. Vidor 2. Twin County 3. Orange 4. Groves 5. Port Arthur

Who has been the team to beat the last few years? Groves Orange Port Arthur Twin County Vidor

Off of the Scrappers we will have two for sure make the All-Star team the 1st Baseman and Short Stop and possibly the Pitcher as a 3rd member. That will be the only first teamers. On the 2nd team it is any ones guess. I would think that maybe two others might make the 2nd team. How many off of the Astros will make 1st team? How many off of the Braves?

Congrats to the Vidor Astros on being the 2008 Pony Shetland Division Directors Champs. They beat us (TC Scrappers) 27-16 and made it look really easy. The Astros have a very good defensive team and hit the ball really well. Astros scored early and often tonight. We could not stop them. It was 20-16 starting the 5th and they scored 7 runs to end the game. Too much power tonight for the Scrappers who have been very sound defensively thus far in the tournament. Time to get ready for the end of the season tourney and then All-Stars. Hopefully TC will get a chance to play Vidor for the trip to Ft. Worth!!!!!!! Great win Astros. Job well done. Great run Scrappers. We are proud of you!!!!!

Yes it should be great for the coaches and "kids"...........just remember we also have a girl!!!!! ;D Good Luck Tonight!!!!

TC Scrappers advance to Chamionship Game tomorrow night at 7pm in PA. They beat the Vidor Braves 21-20. We were lucky tonight. We could not get anything going early on in the game with our defense. We still managed to get the hits when we needed them. THen we got the break in the top of the 5th. 3 up and 3 down with 2 base running errors on the Vidor Braves. We managed to get the win with a line drive to left center driving in the winning run from 3rd with two outs and the game tied. We trailed 20-17 going into the bottom of the 5th. Great job Braves. You guys have a really good team. I am assuming that the Vidor Astros beat the Vidor Cardinals in the other semi-final. They were winning 16-8 in the 4th and that was the last I heard. Should be a good final tomorrow night. Come out and support the little kids!!!!!!! daddy23, you said you hoped that you saw us in the final............well we managed to slide into it. Should be fun for us and the kids. Good luck tomorrow night!!!!!!!

Daddy23, What team are your rooting for. I know you are from Vidor but what team? ANd yes best of luck to all teams. Going to fun the next two nights.

Down to the Final Four. Vidor is well represented with 3 teams remaining with 1 TC team. The Vidor Cardinals beat the TC Lugnuts tonight. Vidor Astros beat a team from Groves. Vidor Braves beat I believe another team from Vidor. And the TC Scrappers beat the Orange Indians tonight. The Vidor Braves play the TC Scrappers tomorrow night in PA at 6. The Vidor Caridnals play the Vidor Astros at 7:30 in PA. The Championship game is Wednesday night in PA at 7pm. Good luck to the remaining teams. Our TC Scrappers played well again tonight. They beat the Orange Indians 15-3. We have been very fortunate with some good breaks on offense and defense. Hopefully it will continue for a few more nights.

I am from TC Scrappers. We did not have anyone kicked out. I was at the TC Bulls game and know one there got the boot either. They must have been from the TC Lugnuts. They still won the game so it could not have been that bad. Good luck to the final 8 teams. We will need it tonight verses the Orange Indians from what I saw yesterday.

We (TC Scrappers) played well today and managed to beat the Groves Yankees today 19-14. We were the home team and were tied after 1 and then we took control of the game. We led 19-12 and only gave up two in the top of the 5th. There 1st baseman for the Yankees was very solid, but know one else really stood out. We play the Orange Indians tomorrow night at 6pm in Groves. Does anyone know anything about them. I saw them play a few innings this afternoon against the TC Bulls. The Bulls had it won and let it slip away in the bottom of the 5th. I know the 1st baseman is a stud for them as well. Any results from the other games.
