Anyone twittering tonight? Just signed up and want to see if it works. Will following esatbaypreps pick up updates from all reporters, or is there a separate user name for each?

Ballfan: Once we have fewer games, we will be able to do more with Twitter and live chats. We’re stretched ultra-thin covering NCS baseball, softball, lacrosse semis and TransBay baseball.
May 20th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
I understand. Just to clarify, though, will there be in game updates on this blog or just finals as they come in? What game is Mr. Durkin covering tonight?
May 20th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Jimmy is at the TransBay baseball game in SF.
I am getting periodic updates, but the abundance of NCS games (six divisions??!!) and shortage of newspaper reporters creates some challenges for updating this

DIII
4-1 Tamalpais in the 3rd.
May 20th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
Tamalpais wins 4 – 1.

D1 Softball Score -
In 8 Newark 6; Deer Valley 5
Evidently, scoreless after sixth, and Newark scored 3, then DV tied it up taking it to 8th? Newark scored 3 more, but DV could only muster 2. No details of how scoring occurred.

San Ramon 5-1 over Berkeley….final
May 20th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Any word on the St. Joe’s -Lick game?

HMMMM Very interesting. The vastly superior EBAL lost their first two NCS baseball games while lowly College Park and defending NCS champions sit at home because they lost a game at the begining of the season. EBAL powershouse Cal did get a win but it was a hard fought victory over number 12 Castro Valley. And what about DV they have to travel back to Irvington on consecutive nights to knock off number 7 Irvington. Props to NCS and their “secret” committee I hate to say it but what you have created with your process is for many many people to despise the EBAL. This has nothing to do with the coaches and players of the EBAL but the new system is a travesty and unfair. Good luck to any team playing an EBAL team!

Guru, if you’re going to point out that an EBAL team (Foothill) lost. You might want to point out an EBAL also won (Amador Valley).
The committee got it right.
I don’t like the new setup. Go back to 16 teams!

Ballfan, you can find my Twitter profile by searching for Viewfromtower. Any games that I cover, I’ll provide Twitter updates on there. I think for Friday I’ll probably be at Rancho Cotate-Alameda.

First round D-1 fastpitch shows that the mystery committee did an OK job. All 4 home teams won, with my upset pick, Deer Valley losing in 8 at Newark. Congrats to Newark for holding off a higher ranked team at home. If Cal would have been selected over College Park, there would not have been an 8 run win in the 1st round. TRUE.

Cal won. Amador beat Foothill and SRV lost to a stud pitcher 3-0. Hsbbguru- I’m not sure how any of this info so clearly (in your mind) supports your conspiracy theory about the EBAL. You state that College Park are the defending NCS champs and that they didn’t get in because of one loss. What about their other 9 losses? Is the committee really supposed to pick teams based on what they did in previous years with players who have graduated? That makes no sense. I would be willing to bet that most EBAL teams would have a better than 14-10 record playing CP’s weak schedule. What exactly are you a guru of besides

College Park played the softest schedule imaginable. With that softness they were the 13th team. Guru, next year schedule all the Ebal teams for the preseason. Put up or shutup.
