Let's make a deal

First?

Yes, let’s make a deal!

i’ll take door number 5.

i imagine that a deal should be struck for the good of the program’s future.
i am not sure that these days if a guaranteed contract is of the norm especially in the coaching profession.

a classic “catch 22”.
and a sort of damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

perhaps a two year extension with a no guarantee salary or some kind of minimal buyout may be in order here. tough times for all state of hawaii entities to give out such a contract binding payout. a modest pay increase should accompany any extension, especially since mack took a voluntary 7% pay cut. (hey, maybe in lieu of a pay increase let him live on college hill since the uh president doesn’t)

agree to asst coaches pay increases to bring them up to mwc conference comparable salaries. perhaps paying out at an amount close to the median levels with some incentives that are fair, attainable, and again comparable. include some kind of auto rehire process with a built in increase of pay range based upon inflationary tables.

okay…nuff said.

mack has been going through growing pains as a first time d1 head coach.
he has made positive changes at the end of each year to address the seeming weaknesses.
he has begun to surround himself with great help.
he has learned to delegate responsibilites to his staff.
he has an angel on his shoulder.

Good morning Tsaikos-

al, I believe post #6 is spot on. I’d be surprised if Mack signed a contract extension before the end of the 2011 campaign. Based on expectations of a double-digit win season, he’d have more bargaining power in January 2012.

zzzzzz

Incentives for everyone, with a minimal buyout…

I am trusting that UH will do the best thing possible for our Football program. We stand on the brink of a renewable era of greatness in this sport.
Remember the Fumbler. That’s all I have to say.

God Bless and GO WARRIORS AND WAHINE. – *.Bows

Good morning Tsaikos.

With the change in conference coming up in 2012, it is essential the the elements of sucess such as coaching staff be firmly committed. Players recruited to the Warriors need to know there will be stability in the program. I have had my doubts about Mac but I think that Al’s comments are right on. A great coach know hows to lead and assembles a talented coaching team. The changes made last year enabled the team to play at a high level. More tweeks are needed and perhaps Tomey will be the answer. The AD is very cabable and will do what is best for the program. He knows that the entire athletic program is tied at the hip to the revenues football generates. To generate the support of the fans, football must be at the top of its game. To do that a stable coaching situation is necessary.

How about my fellow Korean — Michelle Wie, who is tied for 2nd place in that golf tournament in Thailand. Way to go, Michelle!

CoolEthan on 16,

I believe that will always be a challenge for UH. I feel, however, that perpetuated success will have at least a slight impact on the situation and that the staff has been making small in-roadsx in terms of getting UH on those students’ “radar”. It was irritating to me that a player like Manti Te’o didn’t even have UH on his Top 5 List; heck, he probably didn’t even have UH on his “consideration” List. I understand why and I “get it”; I just don’t have to like it. But I don’t sweat the Manti Te’os or the Juda Parkers who choose to go away. I wish them luck, but I pay no attention to them unless they play against us and when that happens, don’t expect me to embrace them or cheer for them. I choose to celebrate the local kids who want to be Warriors as well as those lids from elsewhere in the world who join the Warrior Ohana. I look at those kids as adopted sons of Hawaii and feel more of an affinity to them than any locals who choose to go away.

just sayin.

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.

SteveM

good idea.

PolyMom,

Calen would not bust da rides. da bugga can handle 259.99 lbs. 😀
but like i said, some will suck finga. 😆
but they can walk down to the river and swim/kayak in da pool.
we could do yacht club, but get some Tsaikos who’d feel outta place.

back at you laters.

Coach Mack,

you’re doing a GREAT JOB!

I got hope. keep it up. keep afta da Warriors!!! from where i’m sitting, which is right by the tunnel, you’ve now given me hope for 2011.

Coach Mack is getting up there in age. To help him out and UH, wouldn’t it be nice if HE told UH when he would like to retire? That way we could “hire” a replacement coach the year before he retires.Probably one that is on staff already. Some teams do this. It would help to keep the recruiting going without the rumors that the coach MAY NOT be here the next year. Its hard enough trying to recruit to Hawaii without all the negative untruths that the other coaches spread about Hawaii. I DO NOT WANT WHAT THE FUMBLER DID TO RILEY WALLACE, forcing him to retire. Why did they take so long to hire his replacement if they already knew that it was his last year well in advance? FUMBLE!!! Maybe a contract that he has the option to retire upon 1 year notice. I’m sure that AD JD will figure it out.

On relating to my last post, I don’t like the surprise that the coach quit or got fired without notice. That screws everything up in the very near future and we would have to start all over again. Some kind of cheaper buyout or retirement package could be worked out in all UH coaches contracts stating if the coaches leave, they need to give 1 year notice or forfeit their package.

I apoligize to all those offended by my last night’s mix up of Taiwan and Thailand in reference to the LPGA’s golf tournament. Ralph get sharp eye. Thanks.

Thanks, Ralph!

UH live stats on, easier to follow than Oregon’s

Oregon Live Stats in error, it was Rodriquez who singled in the first inning per UH live stats

another bb by moore (4) to Jasey, adios, she is yanked. Aloha means good-bye.

correction, 3-0, in the bottom-half 2nd.

lady ducks have 15 hrs in eight games–distributed over 7 players, dangerous power-hitting team. stephanie has to stay awake on every pitch.

grandslam for ducks in bottom 2–5-3. gotta stay awake.

Ralph – The chinese reporting comment was based on how accurate their reporting has been. Not in reference to where the tournament is being played…Mensa, pfffffft.

kaboom!

Did not hear any local coverage of Tadd’s top 10 finish in his debut tournament on the Hooters tour.

Must we continue to obsess over Wie, who has continued to under-achieve, taken far more than she’s ever given back, and helped put the LPGA on life-support. Pardon me if I don’t get too excited over team Wie.

Good morning all…beautiful morning in paradise.

yikes, make that 18 homeruns in 9 games–ceo homers. 10-3 ducks. look what coolen is doing, yanks stephanie and inserts her as DH….been waiting for this move as he brings in j-rod to relieve.

Wonder how the slight turn to the right by the new Gov might affect JD and Mac’s negotiations?

Wasn’t there mention of changing the Hi-3 to a High Five?

Kazz ~ How ’bout having Homey step into the batting cage with the SB pitchers? They could throw their best stuff at him?

It would be a real challenge because he presents such a small strike zone. There’s not a whole lot of room for their ‘riser’ for instance.

Homes…Are you up to the challenge?

#16 CoolEthan

Bro’, all things need a perspective. I assume (that word makes me shudder) that your statistic is accurate, however we also know that NO school gets 100% of its recruits. I wouldn’t be surprised if losing 20% is actually a decent number…but I’m no expert in that area. I do remember 13-15 years ago when UH had a hard time recruiting OIA or ILH honorable mentions, or athletes who didn’t have the grades to make it into the university. To move up to get student-athletes who are league all-stars in CA and elsewhere and still maintain an 80% get-rate while going head-to-head with Pac-10/12, Big 12, etc. is quite an accomplishment imo.

😆

NSF,

We was tinking along the same lines about Mac’s contract!

IMHO new contracts:

Mack – 700,000 – take the other 300,000 and split it between the assi’t coachs.

If Mack can’t live on 700,000 something is wrong.

BG…all one has to do is check the Warrior roster and we have a lot of “local boys” from all parts of the continent and from down under who decided to “play elsewhere”, mainly for the Warriors. Some stay some go but that doesn’t take away the frustration/diappointment of not being able to watch the local boyz represent the 808.
One thing is certain, the kids represent the 808 very well.

Pomai
#67 That’s logical but not realistic. We know that salaries are not based on what a person can live on. In this case, its related to what other coaches in approximately the same category are making. Obviously, winning teams will pay more to keep winning. I’d say Mack has UH on track for good years to come with if the last couple of recruiting classes are any witness. This comment would make more (or less) sense if someone out there has some numbers for salaries of coaches in similar schools.

HR #19 for ducks, 13-3. wahine lookin at an early lunch.

To see next season ends with BYU it’s gonna be interesting bring back the rivals.

darn…

Kazz/NSF ~ That’s a big IF! I guess we better stick with Mountain ball…tsai.

‘Mornin NSF

Yep, there’s always disappointment is watching the boys go elsewhere. Agreed. But I was commenting not on disappointments, rather whether a 20% “failure” rate meant the recruiting was negatively affected by contracts per #16 assertion.

Is the mrs having a good time? Weather still cold I think! Should be back pretty soon, huh?

Your page is looks mercy, your graphics are sweet, and what’s more, you use reference that are relevant to what you are saying?2$4

Pomai,

I don’t have to see it, I KNOW the Rainbow Wahine pitchers would mow down a lot of “regulars”.

Get some slowpitch people I used to play with and against that talk a lot of crap and they’d shut up pretty quick against women’s D1 fastpitch pitchers.

You now me. I’m game.

Good morning everyone!

Happy Birthday Committed Road Warrior !!!

Pitching is a two way street.

The calls come, pitchers can take them or deny the calls and ask for a new one.

Coach Coolen prefers his catchers and pitchers to control the game. Kliebenstein has many physical gifts and she will develop a chemistry with Ricketts and Parnaby over time.

As mentioned, taking a loss like this EARLY in the season is always a good lesson for the team AND for us fans that sometimes have un-Godly expectations at times.

Panic button is not even part of the vocabulary right now.

#92, I am just re-stating what Coolen said last year when Steph went thru the same thing. I guess you are saying Coach Coolen is a mind reader, too.

No, you are not stating. You are thinking this is what she is thinking just because it was mentioned last season.

Same M.O. Who you gonna bash next?

Pomai,

Who’s randle?

I made a mistake is saying that the student section was behind home plate in the upper level. It was actually in our regular seats on the “lodge” section above 1st base.

We had to sit in the true upper level and it makes a difference. 🙁

Oh well, at least had CHOKE students last night.

Pomai – I concur. It’s a long season. One game at a time. Learn and move on.

#102 – Can’t you read? He/she wrote “and the verbal attacks on another student-athlete commences.” What part of “student-athlete” don’t you understand? Sheesh!

Good Morning to you homey! Always good to see you here. How’s da poodles? And da turtles?

Re the contracts:

For security and continuity, git ‘er done ASAP. Pay the assistants well too!

OK. all you long time UH Football Fans, try taking todays Ferd Lewis Dick Tomey 12 question quiz. I only missed number seven. Let’s see how you can do.

Turtles can be very shy and secretive homes.

I thought this was FB and was ready to click “like” for el guapo’s post. However, I’m kinda partial to kanoe.

Tell NorthShoreFan to bring his tgate lounge chair.

BG-
There is always a flip side, and that 80% target is good, but need focus on the 20% that were lost.
The Herman Frazier spin theory is always being satisfied with a result and puffing up the other figure to make it look like a glory hole.

That 20% that was lost ( Coach McMackins % quote) is what needs to be addressed for a new direction in securing those top quys. The MWC is now a step up in quality opponents, so recruiting commitments need to step up also.

#123

So, are you saying that 100% should be the goal? If you are, I agree. However, I’m also saying that it’s not realistic. I think you agree that personal agendas differ. No matter how persuasive coaches are (and if all schools were equal lol) some kids just need to experience a different environment. Either for personal growth by being on their own, or simply just to experience the world outside of Hawaii. I’m saying look at the bigger picture. If the success rate is good (based on internal goals or comparable schools) and the recruiting classes are as good as recent years, don’t sweat it. In a world where there are X amount of resources, if the coaches spend more time/energy to keep the 20% that don’t want to stay, that means there’s less time/energy to recruit those kids that we are getting. That might mean an adverse impact elsewhere. Trust the coaches.

Replacements notes:
Sharla is certainly making an impact w her hitting. As far as pitch-signals, hopefully that will improve w time as she develops a knack to spot batter-hitting tendencies. Gotta like the way she hustles on the basepaths.
jasey jensen has made 3-errors in the of, but, she is getting on base with a .400 ob average. that is better than what pu’u-warren was averaging for most of last season until her hbp count started to mount in the later part of the season.

good to see sarah w a solid hit today. makani continues to struggle at the plate and remains hitless. 1B is still wide open as is 2b. you can see the positive effort kaile and dara are making in the box as well as w their gloves. hopefully one of them will break-out.

With Iwata and Aquirre continuing to pound, i suspect more pitchers will challenge kelly. Majam is doing as much damage with her ob average, close to .800, which includes 14 bbs,
2 hbp and 7 hits. if KM regains her strength to where she wants to be, watchout!

I think when the kids go away to grow, mature, and play then decide to transfer back home, it only helps UH. Kind of like the other schools are a farm system that feeds back to UH. I’m just saying…

I know who’s the perfect next head coach, but I’m not going to say. The name would surprise you, but he’s been around the block. Like I said, I ain’t telling. My good friend is a good friend of him.

Sounds like you want to tell us.

What?….I hear one “snap” everytime Steph delivers a pitch!

Are we looking for a new coach or a new contract?
Counter productive dialouge…need to go do some hard labor now…

Come on Wahines!…get back to business!

I’m strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. When possible, since you gain expertise,keep writing and happy blogging,1$4

Fresno State’s Athletic Department has something like a $8 mil surplus in the bank. Pat Hill took a *huge* pay cut to get his extension because he saw that budget problems required him to take a pay cut.

After winning the Fiesta Bowl over TCU, his second BCS bowl win, Petersen took a pay *cut* to get an extension with BSU. He asked that facilities be improved and wanted the assistant coaching salary pool to be increased, and he prioritized that over his salary.

UHAD has a $10 mil deficit and horribly underpays its assistant coaches. The Star-Advertiser revealed the total monthly salary of all of the assistants, and if we multiply that by 12 we see that the assistants together make less than $1 mil. San Diego State’s assistants made a total of $1.2 mil until they boosted that to $1.8 mil to avoid losing too many of them to other schools. BSU pays its assistants more than twice what UH pays its assistants.

Hill and Petersen showed what head coaches have done at similar budgeted schools in order to get extensions. They showed that a coach who is concerned about the success of the program and Athletic Department doesn’t maximize his own salary and leave just scraps for the assistants.

My prediction is that Mack will take a reduced salary (which I would include big incentive clauses) to get an extension and that a buyout clause (which it seems that everybody EXCEPT UH has with their head coaches) would be included. I would hope that Mack could make the same amount or more with a 10-win season in the MWC than he makes now. Rewarding success is important, as success brings in more revenue. Guaranteeing a salary that UH cannot afford that leaves nothing for the assistants is not the way to go…and I don’t think that will happen.

Pride, no I’m not going to say. This is out of respect to Coach Mack. It’s up to him and Jim Donavan on any extension. He has 2 years left on his 5 yr. contract. I’m sure JD and Mack will huddle on what Mack wants to do in the future and what the vision of UH football is. I have no doubts that UH will be the favorite to win the WAC this year, with Boise St. gone to the MWC. When the time comes that we need to get another Head Coach, I don’t think there will be any shortage of qualified applicants.

Wait, I thought we had zero de-commits this recruiting period? If that’s the case, then we got 100% signed, with no one stolen away at the last minute. The 20% might’ve been those that we were interested in, but they never gave us a verbal that they’d be coming to UH. So, in the end, didn’t we get everyone who we expected to get? Or, did I read something different on LoI Day?

…as far as Assistants’ pay at Idaho State goes, I recall a brouhaha involving one of the outgoing coaches (OL) who was saying he was owed about $5-6000 that was promised to him “off contract” by the former HC who couldn’t go over the $30k base that the school authorized.

We gotta raise da assistants. Deserts got erryting to do wit it

Garret #143

I agree on most of your poinst about the asst. coaches but I don’t see to many other schools that would come and take guys like Miano, Lumpkin or Lee away from us. If they wanted to improve their coaching resume they should have left years ago imho.

…there were no reports on what happened to the assistant who coaches B$-You’s kicker. 😆

Looks like the first base hitting problem for Wahine is solved. Robinson got three hits against Stanford; Makani, unfortunately, is still hitless this year. Now we need hitting from the 2nd base and right field positions; if that happens Na Wahine will really be formidable.

Make me an NBA All Star, RC. XL.

Mahalo RC!

when iawata went nutz on the road last year in the high altitudes, some pundits commented about the high climes and questionable competition. still, jess was selected NPOW. this year, she has absolutely, gone outrageously-insane weilding her bat– in a national marquee tournament featuring quality opponents, standard fields and playing conditions.
remarkable performance in this tournament by wahine jess iwata.

remarkable performance by all of Na Wahine. One thing I like about this team is It’s a team win and a Team loss.

Ashley Chinn is exactly the kind of pitcher the Wahine destroy.

Chinn has an amazing fastball.

Thats it.

Chinn can be erratic, wild pitches, and the occasional so-so change up off speed stuff.

Very proud of the team today. Iwata is MVP of this road trip thus far and Stephanie Ricketts bounced back.

Thanks Ralph. Who’s next for the softbows? Any more ranked? Bring ’em on.

nakao is playing good D and has over .438 ob ave. imo, she is the leading replacement candidate for 2b. joselyn is still looking for her first hit and is limited to DH since she doesnt play 2b or rf. sharla is doing very good so catcher is out, save an emergency. i believe zamora is being groomed to take over at 3B when melissa completes her eligibility after this season. that leaves nakao and dara vying for second. Sara is starting to hit w consistency and Makani hasnt put it together yet.

the position up for grabs,imo, is rf. jensen aint hitting and her ob ave is below .280. coolen is taking a hard look at jensen, prolly bc she is a senior. but if joselyn starts to hit–u can bet coach would move jenna to rf and Joselyn to DP.

coach is going to ride his options on this road trip. why not? he can get a good view of who can play under quality pressure on the road.
he has until conference play to make his decision. he may decide to platoon. who knows. one thing for sure, whomever steps up–will get it. sharla for sure. nakao is steady and robinson is showing flash but she better dig-out those one-hoppers to first.

Coach Mack just did the improbable by winning ten games and getting us into the MWC which setup the deal with the BWC and some here want to show him the door after five years? I agree his contract needs to be set up with a smaller base plus incentives but limiting him to just a couple more years is ludicrous.

I wonder what Coolen’s reasoning for starting Ricketts again in the second game after getting bombed in the first game? Was Parnaby available? Just asking. Whatever Coolen did, it worked. Jessica seems to play better on the road than at home. Remember last year when she hit two grandslams in one game. Coolen did say that Jessica is the strongest player on the team and can hit it the farthest on the Leahy and Leahy show a couple of weeks agol. I believe it. She hit a line drive at home that went not more than 6 or 7 feet off the ground and it went over the fence for a home run. That’s power. Not bad for a young woman from Kauai. Not bad at all.

Referring back to the 20% recruits that were not secured, several peeps posted that 100% is not achievable.
Your right, that’s is unrealistic, but there are many numbers that lye between 80 – 100, 18 to be exact.
The point is , Never be satisfied and please don’t spin. If you do, Herman Frazier has a job waiting for you.
Competion is great. Coach Mack has it in him. The MWC is awaiting. Time to work harder and secure those top island guys that should stay home and make the program stronger.

Referring back to the 20% recruits that were not secured, several peeps posted that 100% is not achievable.
Your right, that’s is unrealistic, but there are many numbers that lye between 80 – 100, 18 to be exact.
The point is , Never be satisfied and please don’t spin. If you do, Herman Frazier has a job waiting for you.
Competion is great. Coach Mack has it in him. The MWC is awaiting. Time to work harder and secure those top island guys that should stay home and make the program stronger.

If Mack got close to 100%, I’d say he and his staff are not setting their sights high enough.

anybody home?

Go BaseBows!

I cannot believe that a Minnesota woman put a puppy in a box and tried to send it via 2-day priority mail! No food, no water, nowhere for the puppy’s waste to go, nowhere to move inside that tiny box…what was that 39-year-old woman thinking?

Blog interest and comment numbers built steadily all February 2007 after ST had Bulla, Da Punchbowl Kid, and Al as blog hosts in late January. Cat attended again, and after publishing her blog the next morning, both blogs exploded…and The Warrior Beat never looked back. Here’s Cat’s Blog entry of February 21 in .pdf format:

Newcomers that night that still post today are Curt, truegreen, Kama Krab, and SteveM.

Hire them to build a new football stadium here

Ralph did you even read the article, the building is supposed to be able to withstand an 9.0 earthquake.

HiFlyer the Chinese claims it will withstand a 9.0 earthquake, but they probably won’t be the ones living or working in that 15 story building. What’s holding the floors and connecting walls together, concrete takes time to harden, even if the primary construction is made of prefab slabs.

Way to go BaseBows!!! 11-10. 2 out 2RBI hit by Almadova

bottom of ninth!!

Awesome Baseball game! Whoootah! …

I wouldn’t want China to build our stadium. They have a problem with sub-stadard workmanship. would you want to live in a building like this one?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/5661549/Block-of-flats-collapses-in-China.html

There goes ralph in all his gloom n doom glory.
Amazing what turns people on.

Another great game by the MBB. Glad I was able to witness another come from behind victory. Congrats to the MBB!

Pretty good day day for UH!

WAHINE HANDLE AND COME BACK STRONG AGAINST STANFORD.

OREGON IS HUMBLED AGAIN BY DA BOYS IN GREEN AND WHITE.

BBALL TAKES CARE OF BUSINESS.

COACH WADE AND THE TROOPS SILENCE UCLA.

The SPRING sports representing UH very well again!!!!

#322

Not sure I buy this, if I was in that building I wouldn’t say it was really nothing. Also I don’t know if endless safety/structural studies are a bad thing, just ask the family of the worker who died.

#318 and #322 that is why we need the EPA etc in the U.S. checking on Chinese products, eg. drywall litigation in Louisiana, tainted Mattel toys, questionable safety issue with paint or painted products from China, and in China if I recall correctly, tainted milk mixed with glycol (radiator product or by-product).

gloom and doom? I’d rather be safe than dead.

The Chinese did a pretty good job in the 2008 summer olympics and their female gymnasts did look elementaryish.

Thank you Chinese for the chinese zodiac, acupuncture, kung fu, paper, silk, gunpowder, printing, certain weapons, noodle, adding taste to food, tofu, cast iron woks, chopsticks, kites, mahjong, tea, and many many more.

I basically agree that China produces a lot of excellent products that U.S. consumers buy and use safely, thank you Homey.

I’ve seen a few warehouses near Waipio Costco and in Halawa Valley industrial area that uses exterior prefab material, looks like concrete, that stands two stories tall. And the erection of the exterior walls as a skeleton took longer than weeks to install.

Now the article Garret posted claims the Chinese are erecting a 15 story building in 6 days, including floors, steel infrastructure held by bolts and an exterior facade (shown on the video but I don’t know what it is made of) and it will withstand a 9.0 earthquake. A 9.0 earthquake is huge.

UH posted live stats available for Na Wahine softball this morning, 9:15 am HST

One thing I agree with Obama on is that the future is ours to lose. Research and Development, Infrastructure, Technology, and Education is all being outsourced, and not just to China. This can’t be good for America.

BTW, many paddleboards and surfboards are now made in China. The shapes are designed by renowned shapers and the specs are sent to China where they are fabricated and hand-finished by skilled craftsman. My padleboardboard is from China (Tropical Blends). BUT, my longboard and thruster was shaped and glassed in Hawaii, yep, made in Hawaii!

Ralph,

One other thing about construction, Chinese construction sites have workers working round the clock. I hated at 2 or 3am they were still super bright night lights on. The noise coming from those sites made for a lot of sleepless nights. Maybe that’s why they do it so fast as to avoid complaints from the public.

Harvard for the first time is having an extension campus. It’s not even in the US, it’s being done in Korea. Look at what Germany, Japan, and Korea owns in terms of patents, and you would be amazed.

Sweet dreams, all!

homey,

Hawaii of course! I never been there but I know a few friends who were from HI who did live there and they all said that you can’t compare. No trade winds so it is humid and HOT, and during the winter it gets pretty cold.

My friend has a paddle board too that was built from one of the factories. I even got to ride it. The design sounds pretty sophisticated.

All right, RainbowCliff! Mahalo for doing this! Makes me stick to my workout and diet… all for the good!

Gratz to our Warriors, Wahine, and ‘Bows on yesterday’s performances!!!

Bravo BaseBows!

Whoo-hoo!!!

Have two choices to track Wahine softball. There is LiveStat on the UH web site and Game Tracker on the UNLV Desert Classic web site. The Game Tracker is sort of interesting; it actually shows in graphics all the defensive players as well as the batter and players on bases—looks like a video game. Both are somewhat frustrating as they seem to freeze often or it’s just slow input at the softball field.

I wish all of you could be in Hilo to see the sunrise over the Bay…it’s just awesome…Aloha Kakahiaka!

Guud Morning Tsaikos everywhere.

Some fine day yesterday! Teams are showing some grit!

Hoping for another good day at the park. The ducks must be quacking in the clubhouse. I know their fans were quacking a lot at the Murakami Stadium!

I noticed in the past two games, the bottom of the order has been pretty productive.
Conference this morning then off to the Les for more exciting baseball!

Oops. Size: Large

The article indicated the pre-fab parts (took weeks to prepare) and foundation were done prior.

The construction of the building itself (walls, floors, etc.) took only 6 days.

apparently, coach coolen, gave ricketts the ball to redeem herself against stanford after she was blasted for 10-hits and 10-runs in 2.2 innings against oregon in the first game of a double header with the two nationally ranked PAC 10 teams.
“She gets that scowl on her face, like ‘I want to pitch’,” Coolen observed.
Ricketts offered a vintage Lombardi-like-reminder, “Rough things happen and it’s just how you react to it.”

Redemption aside, coach coolen knows the temperament of his wahine players best.
Yesterday, he demonstrated his management skills.

And with all the fireworks Iawata was creating with her bat yesterday, it barely went noticed that Kelly Majam was able to return to form with a hit that scratched the top of the center field wall for a homerun. Majam is retooling herself at the plate until she can regain some of her strength weakened through radiation treatment. kelly is simply getting on base with close to an astounding .800 ob ave. her slugging ave was near 1000 entering the day, an amazing feat coupled with a watchful-eye– her BBs have increased to just below 2 per game. Majam has been on base more than any other wahine…kelly is simply an amazing athlete and softball player–and i just dont mean homeruns–she is developing into a Jen Yee, multi-skilled player.
Kudos to sarah for a breakout game, 3-hits including an rbi double….and speaking about replacements, sharla continues to contribute and coach coolen has pushed her up to the
#5 spot in the batting-order. Quite an assignment for a frosh on this team.

As a web designer, I found your site to be educational. I also love the clean layout of your website. Keep up the good work

panic and anxiety treatment can be anything from antibiotics to walks in the park. This might sound funny but when my girlfriend has her anxiety attacks taking a walk is the best thing for her. The doctor had put her on meds but they only made her tired all day, and she had a hard time waking up in the morning.

anxiety panic treatment Can be a serious thing.. If you don’t take it seriously you could get worse. Take a look at the treatments available in todays modern medicine.

Kudos for posting such a useful weblog. Your weblog is not only informative and also looks good too. There usually are very few people who can write not so simple articles in a creative way. Keep up the good work !!

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

With all the doggone snow we have gotten recently I am stuck indoors, fortunately there is the internet, thanks for giving me something to do. 🙂

Excellent article and easy to understand explanation. How do I go about getting permission to post part of the article in my upcoming news letter? Giving proper credit to you the author and link to the site would not be a problem.

Have you found you get more visitors to your blog lately? You are all over Bing search but I can’t find you on Yahoo from some reason! I really like your writing style, cheers.

Good post you got here. It would be great to read something more relating to this matter.

Wanna bet it’s true…

I was very happy to seek out this web-site.I wished to thanks on your time for this glorious read!! I undoubtedly having fun with every little bit of it and I’ve you bookmarked to check out new stuff you weblog post.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

I want to thanks for the efforts you have contributed in writing this blogpost. I am hoping the same top-quality article from you in the future as well. In fact your creative writing abilities has inspired me to start my own blog now. Truly the blogging is spreading its wings rapidly. Your write up is a good model of it.

After reading this article you may wish to visit my web site as we are both on a like minded wave length.

I have been watching comments. I perpetually find you articles advisory.

Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
