Euless Trinity 6 Terrell 0
The Trojans scored in the bottom of the first inning and behind good pitching and fielders being in the right position they were never threatened. The Nathan Adam registered the only hit for the Tigers, getting a one out single in the 6th inning. The Tigers only had two other base runners reaching on walks.
The Tigers finished 1-2 in pool play, and will next face Garland Lakeview Centennial at home before heading to the Waxahachie Tournament next Thursday. The Tigers lost game one of the tournament 13-2 to Garland Lakeview Centennial.
I still haven't been able to go through all of my pictures. Look for a few more on the blog and on Facebook.

You think they clean themselves?
When you eat lunch on a budget you have to find the sales and special offers. This past Monday was the last day that Dickey's Barbecue was offering pulled pork sandwiches for just $1. It was a special they were offering every Monday in January and February. I noticed the last few Mondays that everyone in line was getting 2 sandwiches a side and a drink. Just because they were $1 doesn't mean that you need two sandwiches. I wonder if they would be getting two sandwiches if they were normal price? These guys were making pigs of themselves.......really.
Today lunch was Popeyes. A leg and thigh is only .99 cents on Tuesdays. I made my way to up to order and was asked how many specials I wanted. I watched others order 2 and 3 specials with sides and a drink. I think the cheap prices don't save anyone money, just just makes them fatter. I bought 1 special and a side but no drink. I think they overcharged me. I didn't say anything though, I was chicken.
Yesterdays Tiger baseball game was canceled because of the wet weather and the field condition. Next scheduled game is Thursday in the Desoto Tournament, rain is still in the forecast for Friday.

My vote counted
The Terrell Tribune must be swimming in ad money from so many candidates running for office.
Today's snow will probably keep the Terrell Tigers from kicking off the 2010 baseball season tonight in Crandall.
I didn't get a chance to link to this yesterday, but here is the complete tournament schedule for the Benny Jones Classic baseball tournament that starts Thursday in Desoto.
I was reading the police report in Sundays print edition of the Terrell Tribune and I noticed Dexter Deshun Ward was arrested in the 1900 block of West Moore Aveune, theft less than $1500 with two or more previous convictions. Same person as the American Idol reject?
After reading the police report, I read this letter to the editor from Mr and Mrs. Denny Fraze.

Monday Morning Mashup
Snow is in the forecast for Tuesday and a wintery mix for Friday. That can only be bad news for the baseball Tigers. Terrell High School Varsity baseball is scheduled to begin tomorrow afternoon in Crandall and then take part in the Desoto baseball tournament starting Thursday. The first tournament game for the Tigers is Thursday at 4:30PM. They turn around and play game 2 at 9:00 AM Friday morning. Saturdays game is scheduled to begin at 11:30AM. If the Tigers finish in 1st or 2nd in pool play they will play later again Saturday night.
13 Tiger JV photos have been uploaded to the Terrell Daily Photo Faceball page.
I still need to vote in the primary. Early voting runs through the 26th.
Anyone local know whats going on inside Bass-Rutledge Drug store? Most of the shelves are empty.
The Terrell Heritage Jubilee is less than 2 months away. Do you think your BBQ is the best? Enter it into the BBQ cook off.
Don has some nice shots of the Terrell Sharks football game.

It's still cold but things are looking up
I went running down at the park after work, I can't match Brian running 20 minutes straight yet, but I was able to run 16 minutes, going 3-5-5-3 with 2 minutes of walking between each run.
I wasn't about to get out of the car to get a photo after dark though. This is Moore Ave from the car.
I am not much of a Texas A&M fan, but they gave #1 Kansas a run last night in men's basketball. I was pulling for the Aggies.
Pitchers and catchers report this week! I would love to be able to shoot a MLB game.
If the weather holds, we should be able to get some local sporting events in this week. The boys home soccer match against Kaufman has been moved to this Thursday night and the varsity baseball team is tentatively scheduled to scrimmage against Kaufman also on Thursday.
Last night I told myself that I was going to bed early, before I knew it it was running up on 11PM. Saying I am going to bed early is like saying I am going to work late. Once it gets close to time to go home, I say never mind I'll work late tomorrow.
Facebook seemed to be having problems yesterday. If you didnt get a chance to see the pictures from the snow storm, click the Terrell Daily Photo Facebook Fan page.

Monday Morning Mashup
This is from Friday morning.
Exciting finish to the Daytona 500 yesterday, I was worried that Dale Jr. was going to pull it out at the end. I am glad he didn't. I wonder how many people started drinking when the race started, got tipsy, sobered up, and got drunk again before the race finished. That was an all day race.
Next year can the half time entertainment for the NBA All-Star game please lip sync or get someone who can sing half decent live? The game was fun to watch though, with a close ending.
Early primary voting starts Tuesday in Texas. Vote, but research the candidates first.
From what I have been able to find out, the Tigers boys basketball team had senior night Saturday night in a game that was postponed from Friday night. The Tigers lost a close game to Forney. The boys final game of the year is Tuesday night in Lancaster.
We went and saw Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lighting Thief Saturday night. It was a fun movie. They showed a trailer for Dairy of a Wimpy Kid, that looks like a funny movie. Click through the link and watch the trailer.
I posted over 40 pictures from the snow to the Terrell Daily Photo Facebook Fan page. Click the link to the right and become a fan.
Brian also has a Texas Daily Photo Facebook Fan page with his photos of the snow including the snow families found around town. Here is his page.

Monday Morning Mashup
Saturday night we went to the Terrell Bowling Center, first time in 10 years. I forgot how much fun bowling is. My high out of 4 games was 189.
The Terrell Tigers baseball team is suppose to begin scrimmaging this week, but the weather will probably change those plans. It seems this happens every year. Here is the full varsity baseball schedule.
The boys and girls basketball teams play their final home games of the year this week. Senior night for the girls is Tuesday night. Parents night for the boys is Friday night.
Brian has some neat shots of Terrells past posted at Texas Daily Photo.

Thursday Afternoon Post
If you are into politics, its worth checking out and getting to know the candidates before early voting starts.
Above is Lance Gooden who is running a strong campaign to unseat Betty Brown in the Texas State House. The picture was taken at the 1st forum held in Terrell last month.
Rain and baseball fever
I know the Super Bowl is this weekend and the Winter Olympics start soon, but I am ready for Terrell Tiger baseball.
I was looking through my old baseball pictures and found the first picture baseball I posted. It was posted in March 2008. The game was Forney against Terrell. It was only 2 years ago, but I think it was 4 or 5 cameras ago. I hope I show some improvement this year.
This was originally posted on March 29, 2008.
