F Yeah. Hoping to make it down the CWS this year. I only have two weeks to figure out if I am or not. Never been to TD yet. Last time I went was the last year or Rosenblatt, what was that 2 years ago? It's so much fun.

Yeah, I think that was Rosenblatt's last go-round. It's still standing if you want to go get some pictures of it before it becomes the zoo's parking lot.

They also made sure to build a bunch of tourist traps around the new stadium too All I know is fucking driving anywhere near there during the CWS. I guess that's one thing I'm happy about, South Omaha doesn't become a driving clusterfuck anymore in June. That's now Downtown's problem.

Will beating Clemson in the postseason ever get old for Carolina fans? I submit that it will not.



UNC will need a miracle in the bottom of the ninth to survive. St. John's is up 9-5 in the top of the frame and still batting with the bases loaded.

 

[jstevenson]

UNC in big trouble, just walked in the 8th run for St John's in the 9th... only 3 outs to score at least three runs if they can prevent more damage.

omg UNC's pitcher just dropped a pop-fly in the Top of the 9th to end an inning in a bases loaded jam

 

[impirius]

Do you have video? I'm stuck on GameTracker.

 

[jstevenson]

Arky and Dave Van Horn advance

Glad/frightened to see that Arkansas is living up to its talent.

Derp. Thanks! Clearly, the issue is that the Tar Heels aren't wearing their lucky pajamas.

edit: Aaand that's it. Congrats to St. John's!

 

[jstevenson]

UNC is the first national seed to be eliminated. Huge upset. Shocking. No team besides UNC has ever advanced out of a Chapel Hill regional

 

[TheNatural]

The Cards about to advance to the 11:00 EST game against Arizona again, eliminating Mizzou from their last official Big 12 sport in their history.

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

So excited that we won the regional this year. Now I just hope Dallas Baptist manages to win another game over Baylor, even if it isn't looking too likely tonight. I would love for the super regional to be in Fayetteville.

Damn didn't know that.

Looks like I'll be heads to gainesville for supers. I'll be the drunk one on tv

 

[outunderthestars]

Just got back in town. Happy to see App State doing well, and my other/upset pick Samford held their own by willing two games in their region.

All in all a good tourney for the Socon!


Let's go App!

I wouldn't mind seeing the Mountaineers back in Columbia. The game earlier this year was a good one.

 

[Four_Chamber]

Man, this is my first season following the NCAA baseball tournament. This is fun... Go Seawolves!

 

[outunderthestars]

I watched that game. It was incredibly close. I hope that this years success gives the App baseball team a little home support on campus. I rarely see good crowds at the games. probably doesn't help that their field is on top of a rather long/steep hill.

 

[jstevenson]

Oregon advances and will host

 

[jstevenson]

TCU forces another game with ole miss

 

[impirius]

One Super Regional is set: Kent State at Oregon.

Too bad for Kentucky. Great regular season though.

 

[impirius]

@aaronfitt: What a year for Northern baseball. Kent State, St. John's, Oregon in SRs. Stony Brook, Creighton, Oregon State in reg. finals, still alive.

I wonder what Jim Delany thinks about this development.

 

[jstevenson]

I wonder what Jim Delany thinks about this development.

I can't believe purdue's coach used his presser to talk about fall baseball.

Slightly nervous michigan is going to scoop strickland from Kent State. he's a killer coach. was on my short list for Nebraska

 

[jstevenson]

Oklahoma eliminates Brian O'Conner's Virginia 5-4. Will play Appalachian State in final tomorrow (double header if necessary)

 

[jstevenson]

LSU advances and hosts a super, beating Oregon Lite 6-5 in 10 innings

 

[jstevenson]

Stanford eliminates Pepperdine and advances to Supers will travel to Tallahassee to play Florida State

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Knew I didn't want UCF to end up having to face Stony Brook again. Their offense is off the charts. Oh well, another game Monday at 7. Hopefully UCF can get their pitching under control.

Or just out offense them at least to advance.

 

[cashman]

hahaha, glad aggy lost at least.

 

[TheNatural]

Welp the Ville destroyed by Arizona - twice. Good season for the Cards though, only three seniors, will learn a lot from this for next year.

Zona should handle ST John's easy in the Super's I would think, since Louisville and SJU were on par in the BEAST. Zona has a ridiculously good offensive team I think they're going to go far, if not win the whole thing.

 

[Four_Chamber]

Exciting series overall

 

[TheNatural]

Maybe the craziest hit to run differential I've ever seen. Yeah Zona is outhitting us 14-10, but they're up 16-1. Just freaking nuts.

O_O

why did all the ESPN regionals wrap up yesterday? :-(

At least ALL of the Super Regionals are covered

 

[jstevenson]

Appalachian scores 3 in the third, but OU responds with their own 3 spot in the 4th, andstill batting.

3-3, T4

 

[jstevenson]

7-3 OU... maybe ASU is out of pitching

 

[jstevenson]

OU defeats AS 14-6, forces another game.

First pitch in 50 minutes

 

[impirius]

Ole Miss is looking good so far, but they need to start converting some of these opportunities to runs.

 

[jstevenson]

OU up 5-2, Top 7

TCU up 5-3, Bot 7

Stony Brook up 9-4, Top 7

Vandy up 7-3, Top 8

Baylor up 4-2, Top 7

 

[jstevenson]

OU wins 5-2, wins their fourth game in four days. Heading to Columbia Super Regional for a 2010 CWS Rematch

[jstevenson]

I think a LOT of the national seeds are going to make the CWS.

 

[jstevenson]

Updated with the staggered start info for CWS. Baton Rouge, LA, Tallahassee and Tuscon all begin play Friday, and the four winners will open play on Day 1 at the CWS.

Columbia, Eugene, Gainesville and Waco being play on Saturday, and the four winners will open on day 2 of the CWS

 

[impirius]

I think a LOT of the national seeds are going to make the CWS.

Every national seed is facing a 2 seed or lower with the exception of Florida, and that team is kind of stacked this year. OU, Stanford, Arkansas, and TCU all have good shots. I especially like Arkansas. They gave up only one run over three regional games, and Baylor has looked vulnerable lately.

I concur on OU, Stanford and Arky being the three shots to upset and get through. I think Zona takes care of business and gets in as well.

UCLA is too good for TCU. their pitching is dynamite and their hitting is solid this year for a change.

Kent State might be able to do something because Oregon can't hit that well, but we'll see.

Regardless, I think we'll see at least 4 if not 5 national seeds in Omaha. The series all look to set up pretty well for them

 

[Dosia]

Horrible scheduling our games at noon on Friday and Saturday. Unfort. I have to work both days, but its going to be 106+ out at those hours. Oh well, advantage us. Go Cats!

 

[jstevenson]

TV info and game times added. Ouch for the Tuscon regional. Playing in the heat of the day

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Gonna be a good game- win or lose, Stony Brook has done a great job. Hopefully, the baseball program continues to grow just like our football/basketball and lacrosse teams have done. Surprisingly, Stony Brook has one of the most successful overall athletic programs in the Northeast.

UCF tried to rally in the end but it wasn't enough. They jumped out to an early lead, then SB just put on a hitting/scoring clinic again.

SB gets their 1st super regional appearance, UCF is still searching... after yet again failing to win that third game after winning the first two.

 

[MrCWS83]

Where in NY is Stony Brook located?
I'm sitting good in my bracket pool but I wouldn't mind seeing Kent State and Stony Brook messing it up and making it here to Omaha

I expect to catch some grief for saying this but I must say if the CWS wasn't in my hometown I wouldn't give a damn about college baseball. It's extremely boring and equivalent to Single A ball at best

 

[cashman]

Stony brook is in long island I believe.

:-O :-O :-O :-O

 

[MrCWS83]

Comparing college baseball to any form of minor league baseball is unjust to professional baseball. I'd like to change my previous comparison to the likes of independent ball. Only thing going for college baseball for me personally are the guys who did get picked in the 40 rounds of draft

 

[MrCWS83]

I picked 10 of the remaining 16 teams and have 5 teams still alive for the CWS.
Florida, South Carolina, LSU, Florida St, and Arkansas are my remaining CWS picks. I picked LSU to beat Florida for the national championship.
