Omahorn
Texas trailed Arizona State 2-0 courtesy of a first-inning homerun off the bat of Riccio Torrez. The pressure was on, but of course that was nothing new to this bunch after playing in four elimination games over the previous seven days. It’s inaccurate to say they had ASU right where they wanted...
CWS primer - Bracket 2
For all the balance of Bracket 1, this half of the tournament looks more like me on a see-saw with Rosanne Barr. Bracket 2 features arguably the top two and the bottom two teams in Omaha. Looking ahead, I don’t see how this doesn’t come down to a UVA vs South Carolina battle and that would be worth...
Omaha primer – Bracket 1
Four national seeds advanced to fill out Bracket 1. Huckleberry will be along shortly to tell us how many unique outcomes there are for the bracket. I'll just say that this bracket looks to be ridiculously competitive and well-balanced. Bracket 1 has two SEC teams, one ACC team and one Big 12 team....
Bring On The Frogs
Texas reminded us what the Longhorns look like when they're playing for something. Hi! Over the course of the regional, the Horns surrendered three runs in three games, saw dominant pitching performances from Brandon Workman, Chance Ruffin, and Taylor Jungmann, backed them up with awesome defense...
Take One
I'm taking a break from French Open Coverage. Yeah, I watch tennis. So? C'est bon! During my break, I used Nickel's blueprint and broke into Cubicle a la Carnivale and found a note from Sailor. I think it read, "Why are you here?", but can't be sure because it was written in hieroglyphs. I was...
Sticky Notes
As May marches on, the NCAA baseball picture continues to come into focus. Even from last week to this week, fans can now flex a bit more certainty when looking toward Omaha. And by the way…that Garrett Wittels guy (the one with the hitting streak) that was mentioned last week? He’s...
College World Series Legends Team
The NCAA And CWS, INC., recently announced their College World Series Legends Team. The 28 members of the Legends Team, pared down from an original list of 95 nominees, were selected after more than 100,000 votes were cast by college baseball fans, college baseball writers and Division I head...
Pitching, imo
HenryJames was able to dictate this post on my voice mail just before getting dragged off to cell block C for his nightly prison bitch session. If you only knew the sacrifices he makes to keep you informed. He's hoping for early parole in time for Omaha. -V. ------------------- Augie Garrido...
Texas Baseball Season Preview
There is no more soul-deadening time of year than early February. Football is over, having spent the last month dwindling before our eyes like a vegetating grandparent that you can’t quite bring yourself to pull the plug on. Yeah, the NFL playoffs are great and all, but if I don’t get...
Gatorfreude College World Series Open Comment Thread
The South Carolina Gamecocks claimed a win in extra innings in the opening game of the best-of-three College World Series finals, which matters to us mostly because the Palmetto State Poultry beat the hated Florida Gators in the process. The second game---in which South Carolina could claim its...
