College World Series Game Three Open Comment Thread

Welcome back to your College World Series open comment thread, Bulldog Nation!

After a day’s delay, the Diamond Dogs are facing off with the Stanford Cardinal in a rematch of Monday night’s contest. The game is slated to get underway at 2:00 this afternoon on ESPN.

After the fun we had during Monday night’s open thread, I know I don’t have to tell you to share your observations, exhortations, witticisms, and other reactions (as applicable) in the comments below, so have at it.

Go ‘Dawgs!

wtf

is the game?

by dawgaddict on Jun 21, 2008 2:13 PM EDT   0 recs

It's on . . .

. . . ESPN.

By which I mean, the actual ESPN, not ESPN2, ESPNews, etc.

Go 'Dawgs!

Anyone

in the thread yet?

by SouthernDawg on Jun 21, 2008 2:14 PM EDT   0 recs

Well

a 1-2-3 first sucks

by SouthernDawg on Jun 21, 2008 2:16 PM EDT   0 recs

At least they went three up . . .

. . . and three down in the bottom of the inning.

Go 'Dawgs!

Come on, Bryce!

Also, can we see Lauren during his at-bat?

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 21, 2008 2:27 PM EDT   0 recs

Drat . . .

. . . on the first count.

At least we got to see Lauren briefly.

Go 'Dawgs!

Cerione's at-bat

Huh.

I wasn’t aware that home plate ended at the chalk line.

I guess I’d always thought the edge of the plate was, you know, the edge of the plate.

Terrible strike three call.

Go 'Dawgs!

It'd be nice

to get some more right here with the bottom of the order….we’ve been living on these guys lately

by SouthernDawg on Jun 21, 2008 2:34 PM EDT   0 recs

Come on, come on, ESPN, give me something with which to work ...

Ok, I give up. It’s getting late in the game for my ESPN jab, and their kind words about Massanari’s grandmother might cancel it out, anyway.

by NCT on Jun 21, 2008 2:36 PM EDT   0 recs

Another question

...anyone got a stab on why we’re the visiting team and we’re in the winners bracket???

by SouthernDawg on Jun 21, 2008 2:37 PM EDT   0 recs

My vote is that we get everybody on the team . . .

. . . to smear their helmet with too much pine tar.

To answer your question, SouthernDawg, it’s so we will reserve the right to be the home team tomorrow if another game is needed.

I don’t buy that logic, but that’s the rationale.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 21, 2008 2:38 PM EDT   0 recs

ok....

i guess i understand that…kinda like the same idea of going with Moreau instead of Holder today

by SouthernDawg on Jun 21, 2008 2:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Pine tar

I thought about getting a dedicated cap and some pine tar myself, but at my place, it’d get covered in dog and cat hair in seconds.

by NCT on Jun 21, 2008 2:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Don’t they flip for field position? Someone told me they did at some point…

by 86Dawg on Jun 21, 2008 3:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Pitching pretty well

Seems to be doing well, but doesn’t seem to be able to locate a curve…does it seem that way to you all? Whew….foul thank goodness!

by Russell4u2 on Jun 21, 2008 2:47 PM EDT   0 recs

whew

he sure is leaving a lot of pitches up today

by SouthernDawg on Jun 21, 2008 2:47 PM EDT   0 recs

We got lucky . . .

. . . on that foul ball.

It just missed being a three-run shot.

I mean, it didn’t just miss like Massanari’s just missed the other night, but still.

Go 'Dawgs!

Defensive hitting...

I would have called that at-bat as good defensive hitting being down 0-2, but he jumped all over that!

by Russell4u2 on Jun 21, 2008 2:52 PM EDT   0 recs

I wish

they would stop jinxing us with how great our bullpen is

setting us up, guys…setting us up

Stuck at work

What’s happening with the game? How are we looking? Score?

by JoeinSavannah on Jun 21, 2008 2:58 PM EDT   0 recs

1-0, Georgia

Top of the third. Georgia runners on 1st and 2nd, one out.

by NCT on Jun 21, 2008 3:00 PM EDT   0 recs

make that ...

Poythress just hit a double. Runners on 2nd and 3rd, 2-0, Georgia.

by NCT on Jun 21, 2008 3:01 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Sweet!

Looked like he just missed that ball!

by Russell4u2 on Jun 21, 2008 3:01 PM EDT   0 recs

top of the 3rd

2-0 georgia-—poythress has his 2nd double of the day—men on 2nd and 3rd

Up-to-bat intro music

Who knows all the up-to-bat intro music for the players when they play at Foley??

by 86Dawg on Jun 21, 2008 3:05 PM EDT   0 recs

Awesome

Wow what a great hit! Left fielder needed some wheaties! Go Dawgs!

Joey Lewis

Yep, pine tar on the helmet for everyone!

Go 'Dawgs!

Sounds like...

things are going well thus far. Who is pitching for the Dawgs?

OH MY LORD

WHERE WAS THAT PITCH?

Got any

cold Miller Lites, NCT?

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

I’m a hoppy guy.

by NCT on Jun 21, 2008 3:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Lucky

Cannot believe he got him to swing on that! It’s great….surprising, but great!

by Russell4u2 on Jun 21, 2008 3:22 PM EDT   0 recs

Good jump in right

He doesn’t get a good jump on that ball and it’s 4-2 possibly 4-3. Good job!

by Russell4u2 on Jun 21, 2008 3:26 PM EDT   0 recs

Hold 'em

If we can hold them to that 1 run… it will be a good day…

by 86Dawg on Jun 21, 2008 3:27 PM EDT   0 recs

thanks

whew(wipes forehead)

by JoeinSavannah on Jun 21, 2008 3:30 PM EDT   0 recs

Great!

Only 1 run out of a bases loaded, nobody out jam with their best hitter up…..I’d say that turned out just about as good as UGA could have hoped!

by Russell4u2 on Jun 21, 2008 3:30 PM EDT   0 recs

Is it just me?

Or does Yount’s mom look like a classic cougar?

by NCT on Jun 21, 2008 3:32 PM EDT   0 recs

Oh, good grief . . .

. . . Austin Yount’s mom again?

Go 'Dawgs!

by 86Dawg on Jun 21, 2008 3:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i dont think

too many people said “oh good grief, Lauren Massineri again? ::grin::

by SouthernDawg on Jun 21, 2008 3:35 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Hmmm

This walk of Bechkam only makes sense for them, but shouldn’t we have seen this coming and let Olson swing away? I think they just got the best of us by getting a free out and took away Beckham’s bat. I’m sure I’m missing why you would do that…can someone clue me in?

by Russell4u2 on Jun 21, 2008 3:38 PM EDT   0 recs

ummm… this is no Josh Fields! Thank goodness

by 86Dawg on Jun 21, 2008 3:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah, I know

Just playing with the announcers.

During my (brief) moments of being productive,

Georgia scores. Gonna continue filing papers

by JoeinSavannah on Jun 21, 2008 3:41 PM EDT   0 recs

Joe, you are a damn good Dawg!

Even more than I loved holding them to one run when they had the bases loaded with no outs and Jason Castro at the plate, I loved answering with two runs in the fourth to extend what was a slightly narrowed lead.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 21, 2008 3:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Stanford scored while I was cleaning the office… I better stay put! When you’re finished filing, my office needs your expertise.

by 86Dawg on Jun 21, 2008 3:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

During baseball

86 Dawg + being productive= bad
JoeinSavannah + being productive= good
I would prefer the other way around but I better stay busy. I’ll be over to your office in the top of the 5th.

by JoeinSavannah on Jun 21, 2008 3:48 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Look what happens just at the TALK of me being productive. Hurry Joe….

Did I change the channel accidentally?

Is this the travel channel? Nice Santa Barbara review.

Dang it!

Nothing drives me crazier than giving up runs with two outs!

Go 'Dawgs!

Especially

on a wild pitch when the guy grounds out of the next freakin pitch…damn

This game might end up being

something like a 12-9 affair.

i dont care

as long as we have the 12

duck fart

That is an interesting description

by JoeinSavannah on Jun 21, 2008 3:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

It's an actual baseball term

Not from the rule books, mind you, but an accepted piece of the jargon. I love this game.

by NCT on Jun 21, 2008 3:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

As a language lover

I gotta say baseball rocks.

by NCT on Jun 21, 2008 3:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

From Wikipedia

Duck Fart—-A softly hit ball that goes over the infielders and lands in the outfield for a hit. Originally called a “duck fart” because it was assumed that a duck’s feathers would make its farts as soft (or quiet) as the hit.

Dinger!

gotta love the Alcoa Company.

by DavetheDawg on Jun 21, 2008 3:58 PM EDT   0 recs

Yes!!!!

Great hit! What a terrible homerun call!

by Russell4u2 on Jun 21, 2008 3:58 PM EDT   0 recs

Sweet!

Give up one, take two back.

Give up two, take three back.

Come on, Stanford. Score three next inning. I dare you. I Diamond Dog dare you!

Looks like he has some broadcast journalism skills he can fall back on, as necessary.

It’s not about winning and losing…it’s about winning! Nice.

O.K., I was just kidding . . .

. . . about that “scoring three” thing.

Really, please don’t.

Sorry i'm late

So what did i miss from the looks of it, its going great so far except for that RBi Single to make it 9-4.

Well,

Orel gave a Kennedy history lesson, Erin interviewed a Cougar, Kyle almost jinxed us, and our Bullpen has been a bit shaky…but we’re hitting the ball and I’m still out of beer.
