Discussion

PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. In a change from our previous article comments system, before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t make political statements that more correctly belong in a signed Letter to the Editor.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

PLATTSBURGH — Three former Plattsburgh State baseball players were chosen after tryouts this week to play in the New York State Developmental Baseball League.

Kyle Kowalowski, John Campbell and Billy Davis were among the 40 players selected.

"There are two teams in the league, and it's the same league that Zack Welch and Matt Dahlin played in," said Plattsburgh State head coach Kris Doorey.

"All three guys have worked hard and I'm proud of them. It's a great opportunity for them and they will play two weeks of games with hopes of signing a pro contract.

"Kyle worked out at first base and swung the bat real well, while John and Billy both made it as pitchers."

Both Kowalowski and Davis were playing this summer in the Champlain Valley Baseball League, with Kowalowski for the Lyon Mountain Miners and Davis for the Meron's/Renzi's Expos.
