The Journal-Standard has a sports blog up and running.
I'll try to post regularly on the blog, but Above the Fold will still be the primary source for my blogs.
Check updates on my twitter on games of interest as well as personal thoughts from time-to-time.

What the heck happened to War/Stock?
Last I checked, War/Stock still was a top contender for the NUIC-West.
Then a 10-0 five inning blowout to West front-runner Eastland happened, and I don't know what to make of the WarHawks.
The Cougars are making a statement right now, but are the WarHawks making one as well with this loss?

Will the real Le-Win (and West Carroll) please stand up?
Lena-Winslow's baseball team has been a mixed bag to say the least (similar to Dakota, in my opinion).
When Seth Cory pitches, they're probably the second-best team in the NUIC-West (next to Eastland) and their bats are about as hot as any teams in the area.
But then games like the Orangeville and River Ridge/Scales Mound matchups will come about, and they'll look like a completely different team. Cory may not have been pitching in those games, but Le-Win is supposed to be running away with the conference.
Enter West Carroll:
If Luke Ingersoll's not pitching, they're a borderline fresh/soph team looking to just gain experience and compete.
Compete is something the Thunder does very well. Despite being down 11 runs last week against War/Stock, West Carroll came back and forced the WarHawks to keep hitting and score runs.
The Panthers, I think, can manage to win games in postseason play with their two best starting pitchers. The Thunder can play with the best of them with Ingersoll on the mound.
Overall, the West is very complicated outside of Eastland. War/Stock, Le-Win and RR/SM have proven to be about even, especially considering Le-Win and RR/SM have both beaten NUIC-East leading Dakota.
All three have also proven they can lose to lesser teams, or drop a game against a team it should have beaten.
