I think I have decided to vote ''YES''. Businesses can vote any way they choose. If their food is good, I will still eat there no matter how they voted.

when was the last time nederland baseball went to the playoffs? 2006? I know not in '08, but I don't think '07 either. How about '06? This year is all that matters right now. Way to go Dogs!!!!!

The best I've seen, and yes, this topic has been covered.

I reiterate my stance on eyewitness accounts. Some see a punch, some don't....very unreliable. The tapes are the only way to go, and they may not show everything. The only ones who know what really happened are the kid and the cop, and one of them is going to lie.

I'm voting for the bond just so smitty's taxes will go up. ;D I only have one question, and I could probably get the answer if I went to the Ned site, but with the new buildings, has the overcrowding problems been addressed?

I need all the ''facts'' before I can pass judgment.

I'll take two out of three anyday, especially against a good Dodgers team.

I take no sides here because I was not there, but here are some fun things to chew on.... 1. Eyewitness accounts are some of the most unreliable. Everybody sees everything differently and adds their own flavor to it. 2. If cameras are present they should be used. Why else do we have them? 3. Kids should not fight at school, but it is not unusual. It is now an arrestable offense...go figure. 4. Cops attempting to make an arrest should not grab by the throat, if this is indeed what happened. 5. I have passed judgment on no one. I would like to see the tape.

Any game I happen to attend is tops for me. ;D The Burke HR has to be tops. The Pujols HR is still orbiting earth. :

What are you trying to do bigdog confuse me with the facts? It's a whole lot more fun to believe that something underhanded is going on in the District. We all love just the hint of a scandal even if it's not true! Any person that can't see through this smoke screen needs to watch politics a little more. The best way to keep the opposition from mounting an offense is to keep them on defense. Make them chase their tails all day trying to defend their positions. The only solution that has been brought up is to increase the maintenance budget. I would love one person to show me how. Show me a School District, City, or State that has excess money. There's not one. They all have more needs than they have funds. So how do you increase any departments budget, the only way is to take the money from someone else. If you look at most schools, salaries are the top budget items. So what are you saying, cut salaries and increase the maintenance budget. The only way to increase one budget is to cut someone else's budget. So if you believe the folks that say we can do all the repairs on our schools without raising taxes or passing a bond then who's budget do you want to cut? Teachers? Transportation (new wellness program, make all the kids walk to school, they will not mind a little rain every now and then)? What the anti-bong group is really saying is they don't want new taxes and they don't care who it hurts. They are totally selfish, it's all about them. If there was another way to do this without a bond or without raising taxes don't you think every school district in the USA would be jumping on it like a chicken on a June bug. You bet they would! Who wants to raise taxes? No one in their right mind. Look at the things that have been written about the board, the administration and the leadership in Nederland. Do you really think these folks would subject themselves and their families to this if it was not necessary? I don't think so! Would You? Very good post. I can't add anything to that.

Bulldogs take over 1st place in district with the win! Way to go Dogs. I knew you could do it.

Let's keep it going Dogs!

I am impressed if they got the infield covered. When we left the parking lot it was pouring down rain and the tarp was laying in leftfield. I believe nederland's players had gone inside. Either way based off of what people from Nederland told me the outfield is where rain outs happen over there. Maybe some of you can confirm or debunk that. I sure hope it dries out. I know neither of the teams want to put it off any longer. Even though we are underdogs on this board I still think we will show up and play hard when ever the game is finally played. Maybe even pull the upset. ;) If you didn't feel that way about it, the kids shoudn't even suit up.

Yeah, but which one is the worst? Heck, breeze through these....[Hidden Content]

The Astros win Central, play the Phillies for the NL Pennant, and beat the Angels for the WS. The people on here downing the Astros are the same ones who will be backing them all the way when they are winning.....saying," I knew they could do it " Give me a break. Either you're for your team, or you're not. If they go down, I will go down with them. If they win it, I always " knew they could "

Won't be a sweep, IMO. We relied on a 60% shooting night to put them away. We won't have that kind of performance consistantly. Blazers are not done... I agree with the 60% comment, but I think the Blazers are done. This game was dominated by the Rockets and I went to bed in the 1st half. Getting some offensive rebounds will even out shooting less than 60%. I need to go read my paper and look at some stats. I'll be back. What I dearly love is how well the Rockets play without ''always hurt'' McGrady. They should trade him for some young guy.

I guess I'll have to break the bad news the bears. They might as well leave the bus in park, seeing that they don't even have a reason to show up Monday for a game that they can't win. I'll have to tell Barry, Cloeren, Johnson, who are all batting .400+ along Leger, Thompson, and Brown with the rest of the bears to leave the game cleats in their bags and to worry about practice, because no one is giving them a chance to win this game. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. ;D Actually, I think this one will be a nail-biter.....like 2-1.

Shilling didn't play well for the Stros. Who could have guessed? You're right, Ryan was not a trade, the Stros just didn't want to pay him a million bucks.......duh....Nolan Ryan?? Rizon got the Beltran thing right. The Stros threw about 17.5 million per season at him and he went to NY for 18, if I remember correctly. At least that's close to the figures.

No area baseball team could beat the Astros.....not even close.

You're right, it doesn't matter who starts, that's why I say let Dean do the job. He would have started, had we played Friday, so why change simply because of a postponement? To me, it's a confidence thing. Like I said, maybe that's why I'm not the coach.

I don't know if this is the worst trade for the Stros, but the 12 player deal with Caminitti, Finley and Co. to SD, for Brocail and other players, seems to be one I remember. Luis Gonzalez to Chicago, then failing to resign him on his return......ouch.

One would think Bellow huh Dean is a very capable pitcher and who was slated anyway. I'd give Bellow a rest and see what happens. Maybe this is why I don't coach high school baseball.

Campbell chokes the big one. Oh well, let's here it for the old guys!!!!!! Cabrera looks older than Perry. Tiger needs to take tree shot lessons from Cabrera. :

El Chocko. Just had to play par and win on 17 and 18, but he couldn't do that. I picked Campbell anyway.....Texas boy!!!!!

Tiger's tree shot reminded me of several of mine at Tyrell Park. I had to duck mine though. ;D Nice to see an old guy win.
