CWS: Texas vs. LSU Game Two Thread
It's raining. First pitch scheduled for around 7:43 Central as of now. Ms. Andrews is sporting a more colorful ensemble this evening and the game is still scheduled to go off in around 5 minutes. As reported, Austin Ross will start for the Tigers. He has nice peripherals but a bad ERA and batting...
CWS: Texas vs. LSU Game One Thread
I am now home and will catch up quickly on DVR. Ms. Andrews reports that LSU fans outnumber Texas fans. We are officially doomed. My kingdom for a left-handed starter, by the way. LSU is a left-handed hitting team and has struggled, relatively speaking, against lefties this year. I guess we'll...
CWS Championship Series Preview - Texas vs. LSU
After over 8,000 games this season we have now reached the Championship Series of college baseball. Unlike last year's final, this year features two consensus Top 5 teams. And while this matchup of the 2009 versions of Texas and LSU baseball may seem at first glance to be exactly what you'd...
College World Series: Texas vs. ASU...again
Here we go. LSU obliterated Arkansas to make their way to the championship series. Texas is going with Cole Green and the Sun Devils are going with Mike Leake again. I bet Pat Murphy thinks he's a genius after saying Leake was hurt. Ooh, we never saw that one coming. If Leake is healthy,...

Texas vs. Arizona St. - CWS - Game Thread
Okay, I'm now caught up to the game on my DVR. A promising top of the first was killed by a GIDP, Ruffin was pretty sharp in the bottom of the first that was killed by a strike 'em out throw 'em out DP. The top of the second saw Leake refuse to give in and use Keyes' impatience against him, not...
College World Series: Texas vs ASU
We think Huck will be doing more liveblogging tonight. He may be a bit late starting as he has to work or some shit, but keep an eye out for that. Also, Bragg let us know that they will be doing an in-game chat, so you can head over there too. Hook 'Em!
The tradition continues
College baseball tradition, that is. As you may have read from me before, college baseball is seriously tilted to the west. Additionally, I have a tendency to use the Mississippi River as the dividing line both because it's geographically important as well as the fact that it takes LSU away from...
Texas vs. Southern Miss - CWS - Game Thread
Thoughts here. I'll keep up as best I can. Bo Davis leads off against Cole Green. Davis puts a good swing on the first pitch, but it's a 395-foot out to dead centerfield. Green gets a fairly liberal inside strike call to start out the second batter. Could be good for our pitching staff. Green...
College World Series Preview
The 2009 College World Series features two strong favorites in each bracket along with a handful of capable challengers. Pitching and defense is back in full force in college baseball as this year's field contains seven teams in the Top 16 in the nation at preventing runs. Meanwhile, five teams...
