How did Watten do before the delay?
He was the DH and the only at bat I got to see was a SO. I missed his other at bat so someone else will have to fill in that gap. Yes, I was busy talking.......
any updates on the game? still bad weather?
yes, still bad weather.........ughhhhhh for all
OBN ~ Sorry I missed you and the funnel and the catchall tonight...soon, very soon.

OBN ~ I sent you a PM.
tsrn is back up so the game is on
Shouldn't catchallmom change her name to outfieldmom?
BTW, wonder if the Coppell coach is wondering about his decision for a one game series? After a rain delay it might be difficult to bring Green back in.

Green out now after the delay -- uh oh.
KD,
I was wondering myself bringing back any starters after such a long delay.

I love the baseball gods!
Tough break.quote:Green out now after the delay -- uh oh.
Murphy 2-run single -- FM 5 Coppell 3 in the 5th. 3 errors for CC.
Millard on for Neal in the 6th. Double for Watten -- their 4th hit. No runs -- to the bottom of the inning.
Lead-off single for Stephens. SH to move runner to 3rd. No runs -- to the 7th. Nice job by De La Chapelle.
Game over --- Millard with the 2 inning save.
Tough situation with the lightning delay. Congratulations to both teams!

Technically, it could have been two outs and a runner but it didnt work out that way and may be the difference.
I also left during the lightning delay.
ob-n...you are a doll. It was good to see you and I wish we could had visited longer. Since I made that crack about teachers, you know where I stand with collikar.
funnel...equally nice to see you. You are really one of the baseball good guys.
Hated to leave such a good game...great crowd! But as collikar can attest, I need my beauty sleep.

No CS --- and if you know someone that can replace me in the Panther booth, please ask them to apply!
OBN -- I think Neal was the pitcher of record.

H&U gave me the WP as Millard??????? so which is it?
The winning run scored before Millard took the mound in the 6th. Neal's win. Millard's save.
Gottcha I will change that......
And Collikar: Back at ya w/PM

Good Game but just too many costly errors for Coppel. Good luck to flower mound in the next round.
I have to admit Coppell was out played and out pitched. It is a game of inches. Mummey set the tone early, robbing Kaskow of an early RBI. Green was ahead of the hitters in the first but the curve just didn't move enough. Good hitting my FM. The baseball God's wore Blue tonight.
English would like to have the coin flip back I bet. I know I would rather see those two teams play at least one more.
Good Luck in the next round.

I guess I missed everybody.
Great Crowd
Great atmosphere
Great game
and 1 last thing....
Baseball never forgets! It just did not have to have a long memory for this one.
Oh yeah - CoCo=clutch - How long of a drive is it from Mexico City to Flower Mound?

So did David Da la Chappelle make a relief appearance?
KD
Just logged back on after stairing at 300 baseball slides for a slideshow and I needed that giggle.......you are too much......

OB-N, thanks so much for rooting on a fellow district team! It was so nice to get to spend some time with you-we have both been so busy and, darn it-work just seems to get in the way of everything fun! FD-it was nice meeting you -especially on such a special night! As to the screen name Catchallmom- When my son moved from catcher to right field I thought about changing my screen name, but then it occured to me that he still better catch everything that comes his way and I can bet that lots of things will still fall to me to catch/do -hence, I will stay with Catchallmom! The boys did a great job tonight! Congrats to them! It was very special!

Just got home. I didn't see the game but had periodic phone updates. I was told that De La Chappelle did relieve Green after the lightning delay. Sounds like Zeus favored FM tonight. Congrats to Flower Mound. Keep going!
FM gets the W. KD's photo says it all. Let this be a lesson to those who post "bulletin board" material on this web. The unkind post by the Choo Choo Wreck added a little incentitve for the players from FM...at least that is what a sub varsity, injured player told me.

And I think a very good lesson has been learned throughout this process. The pen (or keyboard in this situation) is not always mightier than the sword.....I do hope I can remember this lesson next year when our team is hopefully back in the hunt.....
Good Luck to the remaining teams, my envy continues and enjoy the RIDE..............

More like a long summer.
Flower Mound won the game but the Coppell boys never stopped fighting.
Congratulations to Flower Mound.
Coppell had a great season and a District Championship is something to be proud of!!
We are going to miss the seniors but there were only a few of them and that means Coppell starts next year with a good returning core of starting juniors and underclassman.
Both guys that pitched in this game are coming back and Coppell finished the game with three freshman on the field. The boys will be looking forward to playing FM at least twice next year. The top three hitters will be back and they might even get a little more help next year. Our program is in good shape and there are a couple of young pitchers on there way.
That said, even with added pitching, Coach English still might have went with a one game playoff with Cole Green on the mound. Everyone has a bad day but Cole only had a bad inning and he still looked pretty good during that inning.
Careful about the “slaw” comments because your next order of Cole “slaw” just might have a sharp bite and a bad after taste.

Did both coaches bring back their starting pitchers after the 90+ minute rain delay or was it just Coppell?
