It better be.
VanHorn and staff were caught with their pants down on replacing Benny and others a year after they took a vacay from the whole recruiting thing.
Easily looking at the worst baseball team in my lifetime in year 14 for DVH and still no championships to speak of.

Odd...last years team was thought to be the worst of Van Horn's tenure here, yet they still made the CWS.
Your schtick is old Dale...

Truth hurts.

It might hurt...If you didn't spend your last ever loving breath defending Mike Anderson on this board.
So please, stop with your shite. It's worn out and you're beginning to just look like an idiot with a keyboard.

I guess I will have to look forward to reminding everyone just how right I was about this season after every loss and there will be many a loss this season.

Dale is just, Dale. He has his place.
How'd your chicken turn out today?
Posted on 12/20/15 at 4:57 pm to DaleDenton
Remind away. You stated last year how bad Van Horns club would be.
They weren't and they went to another CWS.
As far as Anderson, his team is shite right now and another top in state talent fled the state.
But continue on my friend...defend MA until the day he is fired.

Tyson Chicken always turns out great when I smoke it. The hint of cancer always puts it over the top IMO.
I'll smoke a few ribs Wednesday that will probably be better though.

LOL, Tyson and smoking meats = doubling down on cancer. 
Should try some local procured ribs, you will seriously be amazed at the difference.

Don't know what you are missing. Guess you never tried a new beer, either.

Smoked beer is delicious... fwiw!

14 years for DVH and not a single win over Wofford.
Only took Mike 4 years.
Just sayin.
