College World Series Game Five Open Comment Thread

I hope UGA can pull it off and when the CWS. It would be a great story for a team many did not think would be that competitive.

Nothing novel, of course, but she’s giving off a nice Helen Hunt circa 1996 vibe that works for her.

Crap!

shows no showers in the states around Nebraska. We should be clear once we get this thing started (keeping the fingers crossed though)

I’ve heard this song too many times already.

Let’s get started. Go ‘Dawgs!

but they’ve become too mainstream now so it’s hard to listen to. Still got some good songs though. The song is catchy I will say

. . . Lauren Massanari sighting.

Great start…let’s go Nick!

. . . but my decision to watch this one with the sound turned on may prove ill-advised.

Mike Patrick can’t tell the difference between Georgia’s bullpen and Fresno State’s? Egad!

. . . Peisel wants to win a championship tonight?

Just a little bit every inning.

Just keep it going, guys.

but I am doing my part by staying busy at work during the Dawgs at bats.

. . . the questionable calls at second base even out.

No harm, no foul.

like he just did, we’ll be fine. NO WALKS.

I guess his favorite Hotelier must be Leona Helmsley.

. . . needs to get off of Cerione’s tail.

He failed to make a catch, then he got an out and came up throwing.

You’d rather him pull a Larry Walker and think there were three outs when there were only two?

Didn’t cost us anything. He gets a little too riled up for my tastes sometimes.

woodwind instruments?

. . . but not as bad as Mike Patrick’s announcing.

We need to just keep the runs coming and coming and coming. Never let them feel like they are even in this game

or does the way Montgomery kinda falls away from the rubber as he makes a pitch look a lot like Tim Hudson? Really drives down and keeps the ball down.

. . . hitting the ball so hard?

It seems like their last three hitters have done significally better against us than their first three.

I see many things are just the same with the TV guys… I’ve had to listen to radio until now – geez… I may go back to radio…

It’s Miller pitching. Not Montgomery. You are always right

let’s see what you got…

Why did it take so long to yank Montgomery when it was clear he couldn’t find the strike zone?

to see our starters go out there and not look like they know what they’re doing. Hopefully Dottie has got his stuff tonight.

crap

no doubt but it’s not his fault two other dudes are on base.

Besides, Fresno’s 1-5 hitters mentality is just to swing really hard and hope for the best. They’ve gotten way lucky imo

If this keeps up, I’m turning the sound back down.

“Walks will kill you every time”. Maybe something I missed was the fact that Monty barely walks anybody and when he starts losing it like that…....

Get it back.

May I have another?

So they need to show Lauren

Not even close. Complete horsecrap

on breaks. Bad called strike 3.

You know it’s bad

better for their paycheck and ratings… sounds like the NBA…

. . . they’re catching all the breaks.

I expect a huge make up call later in the game

HAVE to start getting ahead of these hitters… those guys are raking with the count full and in their favor

Damn their bottom of the order has been ridiculous….

crap

Dodson isn’t even making that bad of pitches

I’m turning the sound back down.

start doing it. My chair switching isn’t helping

What is the deal here?

And STILL only ONE out

could we please turn things around here??

tell me these just didn’t do that… tell me I’m seeing things…

baseball gods don’t have it in the cards for us apparently

see I’m all shaken up

We’ve gone from blowing them out to getting blown out by them.

With their pitching staff as it is, there’s still plenty of baseball left to be played….

we’ve got ‘em right where we want ‘em. ..

but I’m starting to feel their pain. We’re the SEC champs, their from the WAC. We should beat them 9 out of 10 times maybe 10 out of 10.

The ACC always complains about being the superior conference and here we go with us (the SEC) going against this inferior WAC team.

With that said, we’re only down five and we do have those AWESOME Nike bats

a cookie since he’s such a he-man 3rd baseman????

STOP WALKING PEOPLE. JUST BE AGGRESSIVE!

our worst pitching performance this year.

Sorry guys but I can’t waste my time with this choke job by our pitching. I’ll check back in a bit.

crap

I’d rather see a guy hit a leadoff homerun than a walk. Maybe these guys will use up all their hits tonight.

And, I don’t think we’ve got ‘em right where we want ‘em anymore, FWIW.

they came to play.

But Grimm looks promising. He might get touched up tonight (at this rate who knows what will happen) but what a future he has.

. . . to win it tonight, or, failing that, to chew through enough F.S.U. pitchers to soften them up for tomorrow night.

Go to that bullpen, Fresno!

this could get interesting. For once, Mike Patrick is right. Station to Station (But a grand slam wouldn’t hurt, either).

leave the pitcher in…

AMEN!

3 up 3 down, please.

One run in but Poythress and Crane recorded outs. Quick innings now guys

. . . the start to the seventh inning we did not need!

But Fresno State had to walk to Omaha from California.

Our middle relief is either porous or unhittable, never mediocre. They’re either melting down like in last year’s season-ender against South Carolina or they’re going weeks without allowing an earned run in S.E.C. play, as they did this year.

It’s feast or famine with these guys in a game in which merely being average would have guaranteed a win.

. . . two more four-run frames like the last one, and we’ll tie it to go to extra innings.

Provided we can keep them from scoring, of course.

That seems doubtful at this juncture.

You don’t have to (and, in fact, cannot) get it all back with one swing of the bat.

you gave us another…

They had the turn at the plate we needed to have and we had the turn at the plate we needed them to have.

you screwed up ump

I’m not sure the bad calls have made much difference. But I still think it might have back in the 4th.

The only thing I want tomorrow night is a Georgia Tech like performance from the first pitch until the 27th out.

. . . the territory hitherto occupied only by Albert Brooks’s historic attack of flop-sweat in “Broadcast News.”

At some point, it became so off-the-chart bad it just got funny.

Can bring some Greg Maddux-like stuff because it seems to me that Fresno has eaten up our average speed pitching. Fields and Holder have been the only two that have really dominated their hitters (granted Holder gave up some HRs but those were on mistake pitches)

And to think we seemed to have this game well and truly in hand in the early going.

Horrible, horrible outing.

9 runs????

Got the last minute look up for tomorrow. Hopefully 10:24 PM will be 2 out of 3 after tomorrow night

At this point, it’s worth a shot

can you hear it??

I might know our problem….Was Mark Richt there tonight? If not, this is all on him.

... but i’m still sick…

Woo hoo! We’ve just got to win one more. See y’all tomorrow night!

Let’s go Georgia!
