PrintWelcome back to your College World Series open comment thread, Bulldog Nation!
As you may have heard, the Diamond Dogs will be squaring off with Fresno State in the first game of the College World Series finals this evening. The game is slated to get underway at 7:00 tonight on ESPN2.
We’ve had three exceedingly fun open comment threads during the Red and Black’s time in Omaha, so let’s keep it going as fans while we cheer on the Classic City Canines in their effort to keep it going as a team.
Why celebrate, shout, second-guess, gripe about the announcing, grouse about the umpiring, and hope that more camera time is given to Lauren Massanari all by your lonesome when you can do all these things with your fellow loyal denizens of Bulldog Nation here at Dawg Sports? Have at it!
Go ‘Dawgs!

Erin Andrews is looking fantastic tonight, just saw her on ESPN doing a piece on Fresno St.’s Cinderella run.
Oh yeah there’s a game tonight
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"
Larry Munson: "Good stuff, Loran"
yeah that was weird
Me and friends were saying over the weekend, have said that every crowd shot of UGA fans have very attractive girls and everybody else, not so much.
I’m sure the admissions office is enjoying the free publicity to young men watching our co-eds. Free plug from me- guys it doesn’t get much better than it is right now here in Athens, come on up!
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"
Larry Munson: "Good stuff, Loran"
Another motivation for UGA to win
It doesn’t give ESPN the oppertunity to blow up the Cinderella Fresno State and ooh and ahh over how great a story it is, i mean we all love to screw ESPN what better way than to personally ruin their desire for a cinderella story?!

Ah . . .
. . . I see what you mean about Erin. Nice choice of sweaters, Miss Andrews.
By the way, I was noticing this about Dave Perno last night: he and I are the same age--we were contemporaries at Georgia—and he has presumably the higher-stress job, yet I have more grey hair than he does. What gives?
Go 'Dawgs!
I had no idea
he was 40 until today. I guess I should have done the math when I knew he was on the 1990 NC team

Man i love these game threads, its going to be a fun one i can feel it.

Fashion side note
It peeves me to no end when i see managers wear those stupid quarter zip, pullovers on top of their jerseys. It just looks dumb, dumb, dumb to me.
Is it just me or does that aggravate anybody else either. Terry Francona comes to mind as someone that does it a lot.
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"
Larry Munson: "Good stuff, Loran"
It's like they don't really want to wear the jersy
I agree i think its stupid when they wear it over the jersy, it looks like a poncho or some sort of parka, there should be a Man Law against it.

If I remember correctly
I think MLB actually started checking Francona to be sure he was wearing his jersey underneath because I think he admitted that he didn’t sometimes and MLB has a rule against that or something.
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"
Larry Munson: "Good stuff, Loran"
That's one I don't get
It made sense for, say, Pete Rose to wear a uniform when he was a player-manager, as many managers were in the early days of major league baseball.
Why the heck does, say, Bobby Cox wear a uniform, though? It’s a holdover tradition that no longer makes sense. Imagine how ridiculous Mark Richt would look in eyeblack and pads on the sideline.
Go 'Dawgs!
Funny you bring that up
Because that was part of a George Carlin joke where he compared baseball and football. He said imagine Bill Parcells in a Giants jersey.
RIP George

I think they ought to dress like coaches in other sports
If slacks and short sleeves are comfortable, go with that.
If you want to be the Howard Schnellenberger of baseball, wear a coat and tie.
Go 'Dawgs!
Interesting
I mean i understand maybe wanting something that differentiates you from the players, that sort of helps signify he’s the manager, but to not wear your jersy at all is dumb. I think they should maybe develope some sort of alternate Manager uniform.

Sweet
I’d like to see a small-ball parade like in the first of the NC State game a couple weeks ago.
Nice job shutting down the early threat
Did I just see a Fresno State fan with a “Real Dawgs” sign?
Honestly, some people have no sense of self-awareness.
When their mascot, Fsu, is on the cover of Sports Illustrated, they can talk.
Go 'Dawgs!
What's the history
Which Dawg came first the uga or the Fresno?

If Fresno State has a bulldog, it’s managed to escape the notice of everyone outside the San Joaquin Valley.

I'll Google it

Seriously, who knew Fresno State even had a live bulldog?
Go 'Dawgs!
Here it is..... plus a funny bit about the women determining the school colors
Here’s a short history of how their sports and mascot history.
http://www.collegefootballhistory.com/fs_bulldogs/history.htm
This is the info on the mascot.
“Nickname and Colors
How did Fresno State arrive at the nickname, Bulldogs, or the colors, Cardinal and Blue? Late in their initial 1921 season, student body president Warren Moody and friends were continually greeted outside the main campus building by a white bulldog. The dog adopted the group and they decided to make him the mascot. Arids Walker made the motion to adopt “Bulldogs” as the official nickname in a student body meeting. It was on November 21, 1921, that the Morning Republican first referred to Fresno State as the “Bulldogs”.
The colors evolved out of an argument by women from Fresno Normal School and men from Fresno Junior College. The women were seeking blue and white to the men’s red and white. A compromise was struck with the school adopting red and blue with red later changed to Cardinal.”

Red Wave?
Fresno State athletic traditions include the "Red Wave," which is manifested in the loud fan participation at Fresno State athletic events. The university is a leader in attendance and ticket sales among schools on the West Coast.

Trevor looks good
A little first inning jitters maybe. What is that out pitch he uses? He got the two Ks with it….looks a bit like a two seam with a lot of late movement but it dives down so its not quite a splitter
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"

NICE HUSTLE!!!

Way to stretch that one out!
Ive had enough of their leadoff men getting on already. Peisel can keep doing that all day, however.
Heck of a hit
same thing he did against Stanford
BOOYA-KASHA
Rich is really stepping his game up for the CWS.
Need to keep this guy working
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"

Again ESPN settin' us up
Acting like Fresno has no chance with their depleted pitching depth, come on this is the CWS and they’ve made it this far.
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.
I Corinthians 9:24
Agreed
If Fresno State wasn’t good enough to win it, they wouldn’t have gotten this far.
After Oregon State won it last year with a losing record in regular-season conference play, it’s hard to argue that a team on a hot streak in June can’t close the deal in the finals.
Go 'Dawgs!
Depleted or not depleted
A 3.22 ERA in the CWS is nothing to sneeze at. ESPN knows this. I hate the Narrative.
While we're between innings
Here’s the George Carlin video (it’s clean). The part about managers is at 45 seconds in.
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"
Larry Munson: "Good stuff, Loran"
One of the few clean ones
You could spend hours looking for a clean Carlin bit of any length and not find one funnier (or longer) than that. I would say rest in peace, but he wouldnt appreciate that. So thanks for the laughs, George.
that's what i said
My first reaction (besides all the laughing) was, “Um, did he not swear?” I had to watch again just to be sure. Great stuff

Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"

Erin looking great tonight
If she looks this good tomorrow night, I may hope we go to three games.
Kidding.

Mendonca i believe it is
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"
Larry Munson: "Good stuff, Loran"
She's actually good people
I have a friend back in Augusta that went to high school with her (and prom!!!) and she is really nice, even for a UF grad. And coming from this guy is saying something since he went to Florida State
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"
Larry Munson: "Good stuff, Loran"
I'm sure he is in the crowd
And once ESPN finds him im sure there will be endless camera shots
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"
Larry Munson: "Good stuff, Loran"
let's see
if Cerione can make up for his last outing against the Card’s…
and yes Richt is at the game.
Lol
is that what 6 is? Is there some sort of list that im missing?

What's the deal with leadoff guys?
He’s hasn’t gotten the leadoff hitter yet, and that looks like an Aluminum bat HR if i ever saw one he barely swung.

i take much solace in the fact that...

as long as this is the case, we should be confident.
and as long as Holder keeps throwing hard…
Come on, Trevor . . .
. . . you could make this your Curt Schilling “bloody sock” gut-it-out play-through-the-pain win if you stick it out.

The velocity looks ok

i mean, 30 regular season losses?
i hope we are a worthy adversary, b/c these guys have some serious late-season heart.

I think I read
There’s never been a CWS champion that had a losing record the previous year. That sounds like a good story to me.
i dunno
anyone named Bonesteele is worthy of respect.
(the unecessary “e” on the end lets you know it is a true porn name masquerading as a legit moniker)
Here's my Bob Woodward moment
Does ESPN not know that their little Cinderella was pre-season top 25? A pre-season 18 ranking says they are an underachieving if anything since they have 30 losses. UGA wasn’t even ranked.

He keeps saying Mendoza
I just think he calls him what he wants to. and mendoza sounds better to him and makes people think of the lowly mendoza line, and therefore making him to be that much more spectacular. Ok so i’m over analyzing.

. . . but they’re making great plays.
Meanwhile, although the first Fresno hitter in each inning has reached base, no subsequent hitter in any inning has done so.

Thankfully
But has anyone else noticed that calls that managers argue more vehemitly and act much more dramatic about in the pro’s, these college managers barely argue for a minute then happily trot back to the dugout. What gives?

Cruel and Unusual
The punishment must be terrible….no idea what it is. Of course, we need him to stay in the game. He may just be running out there long enough for the players to cool down just a bit and let them know he “has their back”...who knows.
Good point
I would also imagine that a college team is more likely to get a bit rattled by their coach having a meltdown, as opposed to a team of professionals.
Nice plug
For the women’s Olympic swim team trials. How about a shout-out to the US women’s coach, UGA’s own Jack Bauerle?
is that a bad thing though...
the call will not change so do we really need to see you act like a jack@ss and delay the game 5 minutes.
No i don't think its bad
i just assume that the coaches would try to work the umps as much at the college level as they do in the pros, and wouldn’t bet against the NCAA threatening the coaches about it.

I’d say we’re damn lucky to only be down by 2 right now…
Completely agree
It’s just annoying to think that three mistake pitches have allowed these guys to be on top. Should be 3-1 right now
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"
Larry Munson: "Good stuff, Loran"
I hope this is our Lipscomb game
This is embarrassing. Perno needs to pull these boys in after this half inning and make sure they know their getting outplayed on National TV

We haven't been hitting
These guys aren’t that good and we are being impatient and not waiting for the right pitch, we need to do a better job of hitting than this.

In addition to impatience at the plate . . .
. . . the bullpen is doing what it did during the fade down the stretch at the end of the regular season.
Middle relief coughing up the lead killed us heading into Hoover.
Go 'Dawgs!
Talk about bad memories
Its not a good thing that our bullpen’s performance tonight has reminded me of the road game version of the Braves.
Let's see how we respond

What I said earlier about hoping for a three-game series?
If this score holds up, I take back having taken that back.
But don’t get me wrong, I’d rather win tonight.
Go 'Dawgs!
Don't worry Kyle
....no one will hold it against you…...at least i won’t.

Separated at birth?
Mendonca and Colin Farrell?
Olson and Adam Sandler?
Clutch hit by Olson. Now let’s make it count.
Go 'Dawgs!
While we're talking about Mendonca
Let’s just hope we avoid that black hole he has of a glove over there at the hot corner for the rest of the series. Dude can pick it for sure

Where Perno tells Gordo that he’ll get them back, its good but they mentioned it for the 5th time today. Just trying to be fair.

True but
i’ll take him with a 1 run lead. Which is all we got now. Fresno hasn’t seen him yet and just may pee in their pants when he whips out that curve ball.

I'm telling you . . .
. . . Fields needs the adrenaline rush.
He’ll give up runs when he’s got runs to give up, but give him a one-run lead and he’s money.
Go 'Dawgs!

Kyle, no offense but at this rate the way UGA plays these games I’m gonna have some gray hairs of my own by the time this series is over.

Once again . . .
. . . I thank you all for stopping by and making this yet another Dawg Sports record comment thread.
A confession: my brother-in-law, who is in graduate school and was on the road during the game, called me while in a radio dead zone an asked me for a score update. While we were on the phone, Fresno State scored their three late runs.
Naturally, I told him I had to hang up on him, because he was bringing me bad mojo, but the damage was done.
My bad. Next time I see him, I’ll punch him.
Go 'Dawgs!
No worries
I guess it was offset by me listening to CCR’s Pagan Baby starting with the last out in the top of the 8th and leaving it on repeat til the last out had settled safely into a UGA Bulldog’s glove and my dad turning on the radio, hearing us take the lead, and turning it back off, as so much good had happened without him listening. Sports can make superstitious lunatics out of the sanest of men.

So do you think it's wrong of me . . .
. . . to refuse to take my brother-in-law to see a football game with me this fall?
‘Cause, honestly, after tonight, I’m giving serious consideration to that.
Go 'Dawgs!

Has he ever been to one?
Have you been to any other sporting events/Las Vegas with him? What is his track record? We can’t afford to bring a Mush to a game. Maybe test him out against GSU and take things from there.
by SG Standard on Jun 23, 2008 11:00 PM EDT up reply actions
He's a Georgia alum . . .
. . . who has been to many games, both with me and with other people.
Generally, he’s been O.K., except when he takes his wife (my wife’s sister) to a game with him and they call it a date. I have forbidden them from calling it a date, which has enabled them to go to games together on a non-date without Georgia losing, but their “date” games included Auburn ‘05 and Vanderbilt ‘06. I stopped that stuff right then and there.
Aside from date games with his wife, though, he hasn’t been bad luck. I’m just worried about his mojo this particular season.
Go 'Dawgs!

Maybe its a baseball thing
I wouldnt necessarily go out of my way to involve him, but I wouldnt put my foot down and forbid it either. As long as they keep the date stuff out of the way, it sounds ok. Just to be on the safe side, I wouldn’t involve him in tomorrow nights game at all. No sense tempting fate.
