Let me apologize to you. It's just that some people seem to think that we blame the umps for losing, and we didn't. We just kept shooting ourselves in the foot with runners on base. Again, my bad.

LALALALIMBAUGH, YOU RULE!!!!

What's not fair about it? You have to win games to get there. Bottom line.

No one has said that the umpire lost the game for the Cavs. It helps to read what is being said on here. We had plenty of chances and didn't capitalize. Therefore, we lost. Oh, and it's spelt lose, instead of loose.

Alright already! Enough! No one said that the ump cost anyone the game, all they said was that he was terrible. And he WAS, for both sides. And no one is making excuses for how the game ended up. Yes, it is a shame that it wasn't called any better than it was, because the two best teams in the district were playing each other. Personally, I thought Will and Seth fought hard. They weren't at their best because the umpire wasn't at his best, and that does change the game. Both teams played hard, and Riverdale came out on top. Period. End of story. Cookeville left 13 runners, and we know we can't do that against a team like Riverdale and win. We have no excuses, we just lost. The complaints about the ump though are legit from both sides. Don't waste your time David, this guy obviously has no clue about baseball and how the game can change when the zone is as big as a donut hole. Hope to see you again in Riverdale on Wed. in the Championship.

Very true. Yes, the ump was terrible, but he was terrible for both sides. We had our chances and didn't capitalize. You can't leave the bases loaded or runners on 2nd & 3rd inning after inning and expect to win. Congrats to Riverdale for getting it done. It should be a great game tonight. These two teams play hard and it is a battle each time we play each other. See you tonight.

The Carlton kid is a great player. Siegel outplayed us and got the job done.

That's a great point. When I played at Cookeville, I knew a guy on Oakland's team and we'd chit chat and cut up after our games. Our schools hated each other, and still do, but we still respected the other. Baseball is a game. The greatest game ever invented. These kids respect it and play hard. But there are also friendships that are made between opposing teams players, whether it be through summer league teams or at camps that help us to realize what it is all about.

Any word on this game yet? Playing or not? Does anyone know?

Thanks Limbaugh! Love your work.

First of two big district games tonight @ CHS. Hope to see everyone there!

What does everyone think of how the District has panned out so far? Any thoughts or comments? It's going to be a tough second half, and the greatest thing about high school baseball is that anyone can beat anyone on any given night. It's going to be a tight race for the finish. I am looking forward to it. Good luck to all teams, and Go Cavs!

No, not really. It just makes me sick to hear people talk down on how hard our guys play. It's not like they're out there trying to lose. That's the only thing.

Great point Grad. Sometimes the kids think about those expectations and press a bit when all they have to do is relax and play the game.

It's good to see that you guys actually have fans that are supportive instead of fans that like to criticize everything that your team does when you are struggling. Good luck the rest of the year, except when you play us.
