Or in the colloquial idiom of the day.... My bad.

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="1001282" timestamp="1303451355"] I'm saying with a PNG win, and a LCM loss next week they are tied for second. Which is likely. [/quote] I missed the "can". Silly me.

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="1001199" timestamp="1303442824"] So PNG can now tie for second after all the adversity this year? Impressive guys. [/quote] I think they are tied for 3rd. Nederland is 1, LCM is 2 and PNG and Livingston tied for 3rd with Vidor one game back.

[quote name="PhatMack19" post="1001158" timestamp="1303439277"] It looks like PNG will make the playoffs with that win.  Stone went 6 with Anderson closing.  Provost may be the toughest out in the district. Good job at the plate by the Indians. [/quote] I wouldn't count my chickens before they hatch. PNG still has to get by Central.

[quote name="PNGFan" post="1000877" timestamp="1303414123"] Sorry I do not like the open enrollment. If they do open it up they need to charge. Not fair to the tax payers of the district. And to be honest I am not impressed from what I've seen from Cavnass. He is another Thomas. [/quote] I understand the idea of not paying your fair share but when a student transfers, he is effect brings his own tax money. The state pays for the child (up to $5,600 I think) to be in that school and it is probably a lot more than many or most are already paying for their kids to go to any school. As an example, if 100 kids transfer to PNGISD or any district, that can be about half a million dollars added to the budget. How much tuition do they need to then pay to go to a public school? Also remember, taxes are only paid by homeowners so the parents many PNGISD students are not paying any taxes. Considering that they bring money with them from the state (and let's be real, that is why districts want open enrollment) and the parents of many students living in the district don't pay taxes either, wanting to make transfers pay out of fairness to the "taxpayers" is not a valid reason.

Great game by PNG with their backs against the wall. This thread is about the game.. right?

[quote name="baddog" post="999929" timestamp="1303266256"] Played a complete game and the score gap widened. Great win Dogs. i believe that this win coupled with the LCM loss makes the Dogs district champs, but I will let the experts decide. Go Dogs! [/quote] Two games up with two games left. Dogs win at least a co-championship.

Like the old saying goes, they each have their fate in their own hands. Win out and they are in.

[quote name="mat" post="998675" timestamp="1303049144"] Its hard to avoid the wind these days [/quote] Not if you are standing on a concrete dock.

[quote name="bullets13" post="998634" timestamp="1303016178"] went out to keith lake again tonight and caught 8 specks with 4 keepers in about an hour and a half.  there was no wind, but the water was pretty dirty.  about 7 the wind picked up and the water got awful. took out and put back in on the intercoastal, but nothing was doing under the lights. [/quote] I might go check the docks tonight and see if anything is moving. Still might be a bit early yet.

Inquiring minds want to know.

[quote name="texasfan" post="997455" timestamp="1302815304"] I am proud of PNG JV.....Great Team!! They have only lost 1 game!!  :) Why all the negative remarks?? [/quote] Must not be very good if they have lost a game.  ::) ;D Negative remarks drive forums. If everyone agreed with everyone else, there would be no need to post anything. Welcome to the frying pan. And yes, they are a very good team.

Would a win on Friday night wrap up the playoffs for Nederland? Not that it is an issue really with some fairly weak teams coming up but the "what if" they lost the last 4 games? They are 4 games ahead of 5th place PNG Assuming that PNG wins out and Nederland loses 4 (making them tied for 4th place), does the head to head wins take precedent or is there another tie breaker in place in this district?

Looked like swings to me.

[quote name="Dog4Life" post="995865" timestamp="1302554176"] Ozen by 5  ;D ;D ;D ;) [/quote] I was going to put Ozen by 6 when I saw the thread but then saw you post. Darn, beat me to it! So I won't post it.  ;D

[quote name="midcountymadness" post="995702" timestamp="1302537683"] [size=10pt][b]What a great story this could have been.[/b][/size] The team had some misfortune.  They lost four games by one run.  They stuck together and supported their teammates and coaches.  (people capable of this are few and far between these days) They secured one of the four playoff spots.  Once you reach the playoffs nothing that has happened prior matters.  They make a nice little run and can hold their head high in the end. The parents that let their kids quit in the midst of adversity should be ashamed. The lesson to be taught here was to fight through the tough times.  (which there are plenty of throughout life) These lessons are why we have sports in schools to begin with. [/quote] What do you mean "could" have been. This season isn't over yet and PNG is still in the playoff hunt.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="994932" timestamp="1302314813"] PN-G loses to Livingston again, 3-2. [/quote] Ouch!

Repeat of game 1 with Nederland grabbing a lead and then start booting the ball?

[quote name="Dr. Salt" post="994882" timestamp="1302311911"] If the pitcher strikes out a batter, and the catcher misses it, and the throw to first does not beat the runner, is the pitcher awarded with the strikeout? or not? because I have always thought it was still a strikeout, but the batter reaches on an error. [/quote] Strikeout, E-2 on passed ball. ........ I think.

Wild pitch with bases loaded. 8-1 with two on and one out.

7-1 no outs.

6-1 with men on the corners and no outs.

Dogs swinging the bats so far tonight.

Men on the corners for Nederland with no outs.

Dogs putting up some batters this inning..... on #8 right now.
