My how the time has changed...

Well, since my last blog almost 5 years ago when we were down for a few days a lot has changed... I am on my own with a new I.P. address, webhost, etc and really I'm still using old software. I will have to change at some point in the near future and I'm currently looking around for something easy to use, affordable, etc - There aren't many choices - the best stuff is very expensive and hard to learn - I don't have time to learn it... wish there was a "Frontpage" equivalent that was easy to learn and functional. Oh well, for now I'm good. The only reason I had put this blog up was in case of an outage where the site went down for an extended period of time - so it's still up - really won't update it other than this just to let folks know its still serving it's purpose - SO if you ever try to go to www.tnbaseballreport.com and it won't come up - this is the page where I will have info up on what is going on - I'll also use twitter @TNBballRprt and send emails and use the facebook page to hopefully get things across to people!!  Thanks to all for your support and helpfulness over the years.

TCCAA Scores from Tuesday

I didn't get these in for today, but Walters split a DH with Wilkes NC yesterday, winning 7-6 on a walk off hit by Logan Bowers and dropping the nightcap 8-6 in 8 innings... Cleveland crushed Gadsden 11-1 yesterday as Lance Rorex, Gray Hutchinson, Trevor Burgess, Adam Hindman, and Troy Zawadski all had 2 hits for the Cougars... Cleveland scored 3 in the first and 6 in the bottom of the 7th to end the game by the 10 run rule... Dyersburg beat SE Iowa 6-5 in 11 innings as well... the crazy weather continues for the spring as we go from upper 60's to low 50's in roller coaster style...

March 15 Hope the message gets out

About a month ago our site went down for about 5 days... a very frustrating time and without a good way to communicate to our website followers I started this blog... of course no one knew about it... if you'll read thru the posts located on the right side of this page (see February archives)... you can read a little about it and if it ever happens again - please bookmark this site and you'll be able to find out what's going on!!
The HS season started today... as stories become available I will post them... most of the time I'll post stories at night for the next day... so I'm kinda a day behind... I want them to be current so if a newspaper only posts one day a week I only use the current ones... if you know of a story I've not linked, let me know, I'll be glad to get it linked up - also if there is a newspaper available online that I don't have listed on my "media websites" page let me know so I can get it on there... that's where I go to find stories!! Good luck to all the teams and hopefully we all have a great spring filled with wins and other learning experiences!! See ya at the park!

YeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaW!

I got up this morning expecting the same... can't connect to the server.... instead it was a nice surprise to see tbca.org pop up... my next thought was, okay can I connect and update - yes!! So I updated the site and we are back to "normal" again... I'm going to leave this site up for the simple reason - it could happen again - hope not - but if it does everyone will have a place to get some info... sorry for the down time but that's life!

Light at the end of the Tunnel?

We'll see, but they tell me I should be back online and able to update by tomorrow around 3pm... we'll see...
