*****Texas Baseball Alumni Game Thread*****

[joeywa]

Good afternoon folks.  Welcome to another year of Texas Baseball. 

There are a lot of new things this season.  New coaching staff, new shoes, new moved-in fences, new faces around the diamond. 

We'll have lineups as soon as possible.  Game time is 2 PM CST.

As always, I encourage you to chime in on the game thread.  Also, remember I'm a fan, and I do this for fun.  I enjoy it, and while I try to keep my 'fandom' out of my PBP, it may rear it's head from time to time. 

Hook Em, and let's Play Ball!!

Know that Tres is in town for this, as is Mark Payton.  Word is Coach Gus and Augie will be in for this as well.

Looking forward to it joeywa. Let's win big today!

 

[joeywa]

I think we are guaranteed a victory today!
