In a May 19 letter to <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Skull-Cap-Discount-Wallets-Dress-Shirts.html>Gucci Dress Shirts</a>  the association鈥檚 board of directors, Baylor President and Chancellor Ken Starr wrote that the university is 鈥減reparing the appropriate course鈥?to bar the BAA from continuing to act as an official alumni organization for Baylor.
+
STATS RECAPS
−
The action stems from a lengthy battle between Baylor and the BAA over the alumni group鈥檚 independent status. The relationship was further severed after the association did not approve a transition agreement last fall that would have dissolved the organization鈥檚 independent charter and allowed Baylor to assume all alumni outreach and communications.
+
−
鈥淥ver many months, we have clearly and repeatedly communicated the possibility of the exercise of the university鈥檚 legal rights in the absence of an appropriate plan of action from the association,鈥?Starr wrote in the letter. 鈥淏ecause we cannot shrink from doing our duty to serve all Baylor alumni; to guard against demonstrable confusion about the university鈥檚 alumni program; and to protect the integrity of Baylor鈥檚 good name, we have determined, with great sadness, that the time has come for us to move forward.鈥?

In a written response to Starr dated May 30, former alumni association President George Cowden III charged that Baylor repeatedly has impeded the BAA鈥檚 efforts to continue its operations, including demolishing the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center, which had been the BAA鈥檚 on-campus headquarters since 1978; locking the association鈥檚 staff out of offices they were using at Baylor鈥檚 Clifton Robinson Administrative Tower in December; and previous legal notices announcing Baylor鈥檚 intent to sever licensing agreements with the association.

−
鈥淒espite these and a raft of other obstacles to our continued operation, our all-volunteer group of dedicated Baylor alumni continues to press forward with a steadfast hope for an inclusive, transparent exchange of ideas,鈥?Cowden wrote in the letter.
+
NEW YORK (AP) - Curtis Granderson had a lot to live up to when he signed a $60 million, four-year contract with the Mets in the offseason.
−
The letter from Starr was written days after the BAA printed , a name Baylor also purports to hold trademark rights over.
+
For much of this year, though, it s been a struggle for the three-time All-Star after moving across town.
−
That issue was themed 鈥淭he Real Story鈥?and gives the BAA鈥檚 account of the origins of its contentious relationship with the university.
+
He came through on Monday night, hitting a tying triple off former-Met LaTroy Hawkins and scored two pitches later on Wilmer Flores sacrifice fly to give New York a 3-2 win that stopped the Colorado Rockies four-game winning streak.
−
  Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman said the letter was not in response to the issue, but instead stemmed from ongoing frustration at the BAA鈥檚 slow progress toward redefining for themselves a role that鈥檚 consistent with its historic charitable purpose and with its own governing documents.
+
Things may be looking up for Granderson, who has seven RBIs over his last four games hitting .400 during that stretch. Manager Terry Collins believes that the pressure of changing leagues and trying to fulfill a big contract may have gotten to him for a good portion of the season.
−
Fogleman said about 50 percent of members surveyed after the Sept. 7 vote on the transition agreement were in favor of reorganizing into a foundation that primarily raises scholarships for students, for example.
+
It is a little different game, different pitchers and a lot of <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-New-Drivers-Guccissima.html>New Gucci</a>  other things he is not used to, Collins said. He is swinging the bat good right now and that is good for us.  
−
  鈥淲e allowed time for the development of a plan that, unfortunately, nine months later, we鈥檝e received no such proposal from the association, nor does the association seem any closer to bringing forward such a proposal,鈥?Fogleman said. 鈥淭he university remains profoundly saddened and disappointed that the association鈥檚 been unable to agree to a constructive course of action going forward.鈥?
+
After Lucas Duda s RBI double in the first, Jordan Lyles, Tommy Kahnle, Brooks Brown and Christian Friedrich pitched shutout ball through the eighth.
−
The university previously ordered the group to cease using its name by Dec. 8, a notice issued in response to the failure of the transition agreement.
+
Travis d Arnaud doubled leading off the ninth against Hawkins (3-3), who blew a save for the third time in 25 chances.
−
  The agreement was negotiated between members of Baylor鈥檚 board of regents and a small group of association leaders over 10 months, though the full details of the document were only revealed to the alumni group鈥檚 full board of directors and membership in May 2013, when it was announced publicly.
+
Granderson s triple past right fielder Charlie Blackmon scored pinch-runner Eric Young Jr. Granderson then scored easily ahead of Drew Stubbs off-line throw on Flores fly to center.
−
The agreement garnered 55 percent of the <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Outlet-Seattle-For-Kids-For-Babies.html>Gucci For Kids</a>  votes cast by the 1,499 members who participated in the vote, which had to be conducted in person at Waco Hall on Sept. 7, in accordance with the group鈥檚 bylaws.
+
Carlos Torres (7-5) pitched a perfect ninth for the Mets, who wore camouflage jerseys as they started a 10-game homestand.
−
But the BAA鈥檚 bylaws required a two-thirds majority for any measure to pass.
+
Michael Cuddyer tied the score in the second with his seventh home run. Activated before the game, Cuddyer had been on the disabled list since Aug. 24 because of a strained left hamstring, his third DL stint this season.
−
Baylor subsequently notified the group that it was terminating licensing agreements with the BAA that allowed the group to act as the university鈥檚 official alumni association and to use 鈥淏aylor鈥?in its name and activities.
+
  I was able to get a good pitch to hit and fortunately I didn t miss it, said Cuddyer.
−
The BAA has argued that those agreements are granted to the association 鈥渋n perpetuity鈥?and that Baylor does not have the right to void them.
+
Nolan Arenado homered off Vic Black s changeup on an 0-2 pitch leading off the eighth for a 2-1 lead.
−
Newly elected BAA President Keith Starr, who is no relation to Ken Starr, said the organization still plans to continue operating as the Baylor Alumni Association, and that the group is hopeful Baylor will honor the original licensing agreements.
+
  I just threw a bad breaking ball to a guy that is a good hitter, said Black.
−
鈥淣obody that I know of from the alumni association is looking for a fight with Baylor,鈥?Keith Starr said. 鈥淲e love the university. Nobody would serve on the alumni association board or assume a position of leadership within the alumni association if they weren鈥檛 committed to the university.鈥?
+
Mets starter Jonathon Niese allowed one run and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings, struck out seven and walked one. His curveball was hit or miss at times, but the 6-foot-3 left-hander made pitches when he needed to.
−
The BAA elected new officers and board members this weekend at its membership meeting.
+
  There was some that were good and some that were not so good, said Niese. Fortunately the good ones I was able to get outs on, and the bad ones they did <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Tshirts-Flip-Flop-Sunglasses-Repair.html>Gucci Tshirts</a>  not crush like they probably should have.
−
The group also is soliciting online input from members this summer on three options for the organization鈥檚 mission: solely raising money for <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Hysteria-Belts-Sale-Shoes-Wholesale.html>Gucci Hysteria</a>  scholarships to Baylor students, focusing only on alumni communications and outreach, or being equally dedicated to both functions.

Lyles gave up one run and three hits in six innings.

The association鈥檚 board of directors will evaluate the feedback and bring a formal recommendation for the full membership to vote on later this fall.

Mets center fielder Juan Lagares ran into left-center and extended to make an outstanding backhand catch to rob Arenado of an extra-base hit with a runner on in the first.

Rockies: C Wilin Rosario, activated Sunday after a stint on the DL caused by left wrist inflammation, pinch hit in the seventh and remained in the game at catcher. He was 0 for 2.
