VISIT SEALS DEAL FOR RECRUIT Deshler product Thompson also pitched at UNA By Cody Whitlock and Jeff McIntyre Of the TimesDaily Bryant Thompson has always been an Alabama fan, but a recent trip to Tuscaloosa assured his Crimson and White allegiance. Thompson, a Tide baseball recruit, made...

My impression... was fall of '06. He should get a RS for '05, pitch at PJC in '06 and enroll at UA in the fall of '06/

Has anyone heard about any signees? Is our Sports Information Department the worst in the country?

Considering... Evan Bush may be starting at 2B, a Freshman may be starting at 3B and we lost the best defensive 1B we've had in a while, I'd say that alone drops us below A+. Not to mention we are starting two new corner OF and we lost our best Catch and Throw guy behind the plate.

I am starting to get excited. I agree, we should have a great pitching staff. If the offense can gel, we will be very tough at the end of the year. I am hoping Davis fills the "all-pupose" roll out of the pen that Brent Carter filled last year, with Copeland becoming a dominating set-up man...

Jjh... Any word on how any of new pitchers have looked? Also, any word on how Ponder has thrown so far? How has Pennington looked? I am willing to bet he will improve vastily from last year.

I am in charge of the food for a X-Mas party (around 200 to 250 people). We are going to buy some food - Chicken Fingers, Cheese Trays, etc. and I have someone making Chicken Salad Sandwhiches. Does anyone have any great recipes for feeding a large group of people (or that they like to serve...

Great stuff JJH... It's almost a must that Bentley have a big year. And someone really must step up in the middle of the infield.

I understand... what you are saying about defense (and that is why I said "if he can make the routine plays"), but the thought of having Paiml in the field is part of the reason I said what I did. He may prove me wrong this year, but he has 17 errors as a part time player over the past two...

Jjh... Any indications that Matthes might get a look at SS. He may not be the prototypical SS, but his offense may make up for the lack of range he would probably have. As long as he made the routine plays he seems like he would be a possible option at SS, or even 2B, where we seem to have...

Very good point. RTR!

Those are not rules that applied to baseball even before the hurricane. Although, I heard yesterday that UNO's athletic facility was in good shape.
