[quote name="BearKats30" post="800848" timestamp="1273738256"] Not sure what the reasoning was behind the decision. As some one who played for 3 coaches in 4 years, Trawhan being one of them, he was the only one that was committed to the program. I wish he would have been there my 4 years. The others were just there. Some people should be careful of what they wish for because coahing can only get you so far. The players have to play the game. He can't hit for them, he can't pitch for them, and he can't field for them. Some people may think his techniques are wrong or he yells to much, but at some point the players and parents have to get out of the little league mentality, suck it up and play. Hope the next coach you guys get cares and produces the way he did. I wish the best for coach and I know if I was looking for a coach he would definately get my call. Silsbee will not be better off without him! [/quote] Very well said BearKats30!!!

Silsbee just lost one hell of a baseball coach.  Coach Trawhon did a wonderful job turning that program around and brought respect to Silsbee baseball.  Here are just a few of his accomplishments: 2006 District championship Coach of the year #5 state ranked team in 3A   Snapped Bridge City's district winning streak. 100 wins in a little over 6 seasons. at least 4 of his players went on to play college baseball. (Brandon Chambers, Rocky Calhoun, Joel Schooling, Blake Moss) Raised enough money to make the following improvements to the baseball field: Covered batting facility Built a bullpen Brick wall behind home plate Metal fence in the outfield Rebuilt the home dugout New scoreboard Planter boxes and palm trees One of the nicest playing surfaces in the area. Silsbee baseball will miss Coach Trawhon!!!

Bridge City, and it won't be close.

Got any updates on Blake and his injury?  How did the playoffs go?

Speed kills and it did in this fight.  Mayweather was just too fast for Mosley.  I didn't realize there would be that much of a difference in hand speed between these two fighters.  Mayweather dominated rounds 3-12.  The fight couldn't end fast enough for Mosley!!!  

[quote name="bullets13000" post="790467" timestamp="1271304445"] now 5-3, should be 7-1 if not for two blown saves by francisco.  they've got a tough schedule coming up.  they finish with cleveland tmorrow, then have 3 @ the yankees, 3 @ the red sox, and then three @ home against the tigers.  if they can go 4-5 over that span, i'll be happy.  anything better than that is a bonus. [/quote] That's a horrible 9 game stretch to go through.  The yankees and red sox are contenders every year and the RANGERS couldn't beat the tigers last year to save their lives.  Anywhere around .500 would be awesome for this part of the schedule.

[/quote] Everyone picks on the Knicks! That doesn't mean you're a man! The Knicks are wussies! [/quote] Well there's the pot calling the kettle black.  You are the one who brought up trash talking in this thread and here you go talking trash yourself.  Leave the poor knicks alone, they didn't do anything to you.  Now, how about answering the question at hand, what happened in this game?

Going to say the Tigers win a close game.  Silsbee by 2.

[quote name="Gametime23" post="787706" timestamp="1270753867"] Pitch count depends on the kid and how in shape he is. Pitching has a lot to do with the legs, abs and back which most parents are unaware of.  I relied on my legs and not my arm. Good weight traing and conditioning allows kids to throw more pitches. everyday long toss if they can get their arms into that kinda shape because that adds velocity and longevity. [/quote] Good write up.  These are the points that I wish everyone, especially players, would get through their heads. 

I'll take BC by 3 or more. 

BC will win.  They are the best team in this district!!!

Great job RANGERS!!!  That's the way to open the season. 

Where's Sting and Hulk Hogan?

Blake is catching?  I know he can play 2nd and 3rd but didn't know he was a catcher.  Good to see Blake doing well. 

Going with the Bobcats in this game.

Yes, it is one of the worst sport pages that I have ever seen. 

I have to go with Crosby in this one.

I'll take BC over HF and Orangefield over WOS.

I think the edge goes to Kirbyville if Jones is pitching.  Kirbyville 4-2 with Jones on the mound.

BUMP

The Silsbee Tigers win over Kirbyville Friday night was win number 100 for Coach Todd Trawhon.  This is a big accomplishment for Coach Trawhon and all of those young men that have played in his program over the years.  Congratulations coach!!!
