Keller at Coppell, 4PM

Seriously doubt we'll get the game in.

Rockwall At Allen 5 PM

Marcus vs Northwest at Marcus 4pm.

obn,

If we get this one in, my son plays for Northwest.

I know your boy is currently nursing an injury, but if you are there, hopefully we can meet.

If we do...

i wouldn't guess any will take place.

T-birddad

I will be there are you related to colliker? If so, I have PM'd her my cell and how to find me. If not PM me and I will send it to you as well.
Look forward to meeting you and I hope to be staying warm in the concession stand or doing the scores, not a cold weather person but won't miss the game........ Heck if we played at Duncanville last Saturday and those were the WORST conditions ever we will be playing tomorrow for sure.

I

obn,

Agreed...we played last Friday at Springtown and it was tough.

She might deny it, but I am related to the GREAT collikar (I better say GREAT...she is probably lurking...

If she has your number, perhaps we will see you tomorrow night!

6 p.m Friday forecast: 32 degrees and raining.
Most definitely NOT baseball weather.

Seems like with a little foresight they could have moved the game up to tonight.

Great, she has the info. and we will see you tomorrow and congrats to your son on making Varsity, what an outstanding accomplishment!

see you tomorrow.

Texan: game was moved from Saturday to Friday and boy wouldn't it had been nice to be tonight...... maybe because we have a big booster club function tonight so that could be one of the factors why not tonight.

Thanks, obn, I hope he can contribute and fight through what, no doubt, will be some tough at bats.

He is pretty resilient and it helps to be a lefty and not worry about anything, including turning HW on time...

sounds like our lefty son's have some things in common............homework on time?????????????wouldn't that be a nice concept.

Good Luck to all, if we don't get rained out, tomorrow!

T-bird Dad,

Your son has definitely shown he's got the skills to play on varisty. He also has already earned alot of respect from the older players, my son included.

Obn,

Look foward to playing you guys tomorrow. Sounds like you have a really good team. Here's to a speedy recovery for your son.

lew,
Thank you...........
The team is coming together and should be a good season.... Our coach has a way of getting these guys to "play".......and the new pitching coach has really added to the depth of our pitching staff............

Hope to meet you as well........what position does your son play so I can watch for him as well. It has been so cool this year to be able to watch/know players on the teams we play, brings a new dimension to the game except when I find myself cheering on those I know and then get myself in trouble for cheeing on the competition........

lew,

Thanks for the kind words...the boys are treating him well and they are great kids!

That backstop of yours is a very good player...hits the ball very hard, great arm and keeps the ball off the fence.

Thanks T-bird Dad. He loves being a catcher. He is so pumped up about this season. The guys have really bonded as a team.

obn - He plays catcher. I will defintely try and find you tomorrow. It sounds like you may be the lucky one in the press box! My husband is our scoreboard keeper. I of course offered to assist him when he needs a break so it allows me to sneak in and get warm as well.

We don't have any such excuse for our game. Nothing but practice scheduled for today.

I have had that problem in select ball...

If they scrimmaged Tuesday night, then it would be against UiL rules to scrimmage tonight. The kiddos can't play 2 "games" on school nights (Monday-Thursday). Now a game on Tuesday and tournaments on Thursday are OK!

Try to figure that one out!

Funneldrill,

Guess that is another reason (UIL) we aren't on schedule for tonight.........darn the weather.......................

Lew: will be looking for you.

Texan: guess it is hard to be P.C. when it comes to metroplex baseball and when you have been around select ball for a couple of years. Really is a small, small baseball world, fun to see familiar faces in players and parents..........

Think we'll go to San Antonio this weekend where it will be at least warmer than it is here.

There you go funnel...following the rules again.

Newman Smith plays Denton Billy Ryan @ Kelly Field, 4pm

Baseballmom,
Good Luck tomorrow night! Stay warm and I hope your son has a GREAT GAME.

Where do you get Electric Socks in Texas?

Nothing like a bureaucracy, eh?

How about if they just play tonight, but we leave the schedule alone? Just started a little early, that's all...

East hopes to play Denton, with their OU-bound catcher, on Friday.

What are the Baseball Gods thinking:

WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN FORT WORTH HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

FREEZING RAIN WILL BEGIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH PERIODS CONTINUING THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SOME SLEET MAY ALSO OCCUR BEGINNING SATURDAY AFTERNOON. TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OVER ONE QUARTER OF AN INCH OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET ARE EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW...SLEET...OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.

OBN~~

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Pending approval from my administration, we are moving our Saturday scrimmage with Mesquite to Monday at 3pm.

I have to get approval to play that late on Monday due to TAKS testing the next day. We are out of school, so we could play early, but the Skeeters are not.

I invite all to come out to DeSoto anytime to watch me jump through hoops on a daily basis!!!

Oh, and as for following the rules...well...let's just say that I have seen fellow coaches get burned because of not being so careful. If we are going to lose, it's because we did not get the job done on the field...not because the head coach makes idiotic decisions off the field (of course the on field idiotic decisions are another story and should be discussed in another thread).

Stay Warm

Was just kidding about breaking the rules, FD.

Given yesterday's 85 degrees and today's forecast, that "early start" sure would have been nice though.

Smith vs. Ryan is cancelled.
No word on reschedule...

I know you were kidding. It is just that it seems like I jump through so many hoops on a daily basis, that sometimes, it gets frustrating because it takes my focus off of where it should be...with my kids.

Still though, there is nothing else I'd rather be doing...no matter what the weather is.

Goodness knows none of the HS coaches are in it for the money.

Keller ISD just cancelled all outdoor activities for today and tomorrow.

Dangit.

Rockwall at Allen cancelled for tonight and will not be made up. Facing Shawn Tolleson in the 30-degree sleet????? Nope. Good luck to everybody next week.

Maybe we can all get in some icy bp....

Batting Practice

That's awesome! Another way to kill time until 2/23 at Hebron.

Seguin and Martin are cancelled as well, probably for the best no sense in denting up those expensive bats in under 50 degree weather.
