vpride Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 It is never to early to start this one. Both teams have games so that they can rest their pitching a little tonight and get ready to play for the district championship on Friday. I personally can't wait for it to get here.
gastephenson Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 So you saying vpride that the district championship is going to be decided on Friday with a week left of games. Anything can happen this week plus next week. I won't put all my eggs in one basket.
vpride Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Posted April 15, 2008 I don't think that is to bold of a statement. It is pretty much a two team race at this point and the winner of that game will have the edge down the stretch. Third looks like a 3 team race. Will be a 2 team race also after Ned/Ozen tonight.

How can it be a two team race? If Vidor beats PNG and then LCM beats Vidor, not to mention there are still games to be played, the district is still up in the air as far as I'm concerned. Unless I've missed something.
besbolbenbedygud Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 In my opinion....vidor has the toughest finish of the 5 teams trying to fill those three spots. PN-G: Lumb.........Vidor............Central............Dayton Vidor: Central.......PNG............Ozen...............LCM LC-M: Dayton.......NED............Lumb...............Vidor NED: Ozen.........LCM.............Dayton............Lumb Ozen: NED..........Lumb...........Vidor..............Central PN-G at worst goes 3-1 with a lose to vidor at best possible 4-0 run Vidor vs PNG, Ozen and LCM makes for a tough finish would definitely be battle tested if it made it through those three games!! LCM two key games are Nederland and Vidor I say they go 4-0 to 3-1 to finish out. Nederland two key games come in a row with tonight against Ozen and Friday vs. LCM. They cant afford one bad inning in those two games. Ozens two key games are Nederland tonight and Vidor next Tuesday and their in the same boat Nederland is in...playing with nothing to lose............and those can be the worse teams to play this time of the season because you never know!!! good luck to all teams...........man, how fun is this!!!

I agree 100%.. We still have a tough road ahead. It's way to soon to talk about winning district. It's one game at a time, starting with Central tonight.. They played us tough last time
gastephenson Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 It is a very bold statement on your part. There is to many what if's for to you say that the championship will be decided on Friday night. Just hope that your statement doesn't come back and bite you. It will be very interesting to see how this district race ends up it should be very interesting needless to say. I wish all the teams the very best.
Guest gladiator2 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 It might look like PNG has the best shot at winning district but when you have a young team anything can happen. I would not count LCM out of the race yet, I don't see them losing again. Vidor will lose at least 2 more games (PNG,LCM). After the last game in Vidor you can bet PNG will be ready to go along with the fans and hopefully our PA announcer will crank the music up while Vidor's pitcher's are in the middle of their windup and it may not bother them just like I didn't think that it bothered our pitcher's as much as it bothered the fans. I really don't think that it will happen but you never know. I don't think that it will really matter because knowing the kind of competitor Harrington is we might not need but 1 run. His leadership has really been impressive. He has a fire in him that cannot be taught.
moose30 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 here here on the fire in harrington...png seems to always be on the top of their game with him leading the game...I feel completely confident when he is behind the plate! I also however wish there could be a peace offering between the fans of vidor and png...for the png seniors this is their last home game ever and I really hope it isnt remembered as a "nasty" display from either side...I wish both teams luck and pray for not too much revenge seeking on png's behalf. Good luck to both Png and Vidor. :-\
KFDM COOP Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Winner of this one will be in 1st Place with 2 games left after Friday.

The only music played was between innings and each player has walk-up music. Get your facts straight before you post!
Guest WB42 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 As an outsider to this little rivalry that has developed, I sure would like to see a little class added to it. The whining and back and forth is getting old!!!! This should be a great game with great players on both sides. I wish I could be there but have to watch the Dogs battle the Bears. This one will be to close to call.

The only music played was between innings and each player has walk-up music. Get your facts straight before you post! Fact is, the music is only played while the opposing team is playing defense and played loudly right up until the pitcher goes into his windup. Just to be clear, "Walk-up" music is played loudly as Vidor's batters are walking up to the plate and are settling into the batters box, then shut off just as the pitcher is ready to release the ball. But, while Vidor is playing defense, and while their pitcher's are on the mound doing their thing, trying to concentrate, the music is shut off. I would think the loud music would definitely distract an opposing pitcher. Too bad the officials won't control this obnoxious practice. Once your batter is in the batter's box, there's your que to shut it off. Play your "Walk-up" music, key word being "Walk" then shut it off. Vidor is not the only school that does this, but they are definitely the loudest and most obvious.

Vidor is not the only school that does this, but they are definitely the loudest and most obvious. I don't think that it matters, but did anyone from PNG baseball coaching staff tell the umpire to speak with the Vidor announcer? Personally I don't think that the music being played for the first pitch effected the outcome of the game, but I wasn't there. If something like that does happene and it's bothering the opposing team then they need to meet with the umpire and it's not up to the fans/parents. Calm down, I'm a PNG fan, but I just wanted to point that out, and this is a unbias statement.
besbolbenbedygud Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 What a friday!!..........LCM vs NED.............PNG vs Vidor...wow
baseballmom2xs Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 I agree that the music should not be an issue. If the players did not complain to the coaches and the coaches did not tell the 'blues' anything then the point is mute. The fans have opinions on what is obnoxious and what is inappropriate but we don't make that call. As for PNG 'doin the same as vidor' that I keep hearing about...well don't see that happening. Yes, there were things that I did not agree with but that was forever ago. All thoughts should be on making the next game a good one, cheering on the kids, making a good memory for all the seniors that won't be here next year. Friday is a pivotal night for a lot of teams. Lets show the players that we can be adults and act our age. (Now you can blast me for this post) lol ;D

You simply do not need to be pitching.

Vidor50 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 Coach Green will have his players ready to play and keep the distractions down. Let the kids play and don't worry about the music, its all about the kids.

Luther X Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 Going to be a great game...I think an error decides this one.
Foyce Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 It is a very bold statement on your part. There is to many what if's for to you say that the championship will be decided on Friday night. Just hope that your statement doesn't come back and bite you. It will be very interesting to see how this district race ends up it should be very interesting needless to say. I wish all the teams the very best. Like so many bear fans have done while riding on a sinking ship! I am not making predictions, just hoping we can ride this wave to first place and hold it!
gastephenson Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 I don't think the bears are on a sinking ship. They need to adjust their attitudes and play ball like they know how. Will keep my thoughts to myself on who I hope wins this game.
rEdNecK89 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 i agree that lcm in not on a sinkin ship. IMO they are just not playin as a team like they were earlier in the season. i think that they will regain their focus and start playin as a team. look for the bats to come back to life against nederland. its a big game and a must win for lcm. they need team leaders to step up and griff will have his team ready to play friday. anyways.......this post is bout vidor @ png. they are both playin well and good luck to both teams! this district is always fun to watch! anythin could happen!!!!!! dont know who will win this game but it will be a good one to watch. good luck to both!!!
