Pitching, We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Pitching

Jeff — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:44:01 +0000

Last night’s score: 19-10! There were 34 hits and nothing resembling elite level pitching. Fresno State fell behind 5-0 before unleashing an offensive storm that rivaled the real storm that delayed the game 30 minutes. The Left Coast Bulldogs scored 6,5,and 4 runs respectively in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th innings.

We had some technical difficulties, so some of the in-game shots didn’t turn out. But, click the photo to see a handful of shots from before the game.

GRRRR

Jeff — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 01:20:41 +0000

I just downloaded the new Firefox. Lots of great new features, but…

some of your plugins might not work with the new version. This is particularly annoying because I had the coolest plugin ever: FriarFox. It converted the browser skin into a San Diego Padres theme. Very cool. At least it was…

2 Flamingo Funerals: Rice and FSU

Jeff — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:38:42 +0000

Rice and Florida State were the first teams to have their Flamingos buried in Omaha. Both lost their first two games

There have been several surprises thus far. Miami and FSU losing on day one caught many by surprise. Then underdog Fresno State took down the Owls. Miami vs FSU provided some great drama, including the country’s best closer, Carlos Gutierrez facing the nation’s best hitter, Buster Posey with the game on the line. Posey drew the walk, with 2 runners on, but Gutierrez managed to get out of the jam.

As I’m writing, Fresno State is trailing North Carolina 3-2. FYI- A great way to follow the game online is to listen to 1620 The Zone’s streaming broadcast and view the CSTV GameTracker. If you’re not familiar with GameTracker, give it a look. The player animations are pretty funny and the in-game info is like sitting in the press box. Okay, that’s probably an overstatement. Nothing is like sitting in the press box at Rosenblatt.

Stay tuned for more CWS updates.

Carry on, Citizens!
