College World Series Game Six Open Comment Thread

Welcome back to your College World Series open comment thread, Bulldog Nation!
The Diamond Dogs won the first game of the College World Series finals but dropped the second outing of the best-of-three series, so Georgia and Fresno State will square off a third time to decide the national championship starting at 7:00 tonight on ESPN.
After four straight record-setting open comment threads, last night’s community chat drew a lower quantity (albeit not a lower quality, mind you) of comments than had the two previous contests, so we’ll call Tuesday an off night for the Classic City Canines and their loyal fans alike and pick up where we left off this evening, sharing the roller-coaster ride together as the Red and Black go for the N.C.A.A. title tonight. Have at it!
Go ‘Dawgs!

DAWGS!
(the above seems to have been lacking from previous games, and it’s inclusion here certainly can’t hurt our chances)

Won't be on tonight gents
Heading over to a friend’s place to watch the game. This is the same place I watched Saturday’s victory over Stanford so it’s got some good vibes.
Speaking of good vibes: I didn’t even realize it until I got back from class but I’m wearing the same shirt I wore to the UGA GT Regional Elimination game three weeks ago. So, we got THAT going for us.
Give ‘em hell guys and Go Dawgs!!!
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"

Loran . . .

Educated Superstition
Monday – Wearing hat, air conditioner on full blast, drinking Miller Lite
Last night – No hat, air conditioner off, stone cold sober due to taking care of my son.
In short, tonight I will be freezing my drunk, hat wearing butt off.

That's the spirit!
For my part, I already have the sound on the T.V. turned down so I will not hear one word of the broadcast and, just prior to the first pitch, I will be pulling my white Georgia shirt straight from the dryer and (regardless of whether it is fully dry) putting it on before the game begins.
Go 'Dawgs!

Yes indeed
The sound is muted, and the Creednece is BLASTING. I am recreating the circumstances of Monday’s rally as well as possible.

For the record . . .

Did they just admit that UGA is a bit of a Cinderella story?
Holy Toledo!! Somebody did some research!!!
by SG Standard on Jun 25, 2008 7:04 PM EDT 0 recs
I'm glad to know some of the commentary was pro-Georgia
Just watching it with the sound turned down, it didn’t look like they had any footage of us doing anything well.

ok, fellas
Be patient with the pitches. Make their throwers work. Small ball.

Why is it they interview our players . . .
. . . but the F.S.U. interview is always with Batesole? Are our guys that much more articulate than theirs? Did Crash Davis not teach them the requisite baseball interview cliches?

Oh good!
The NCAA Basketball seeding analogy again. I forgot about that since I only heard it 13 times yesterday.

good thing
handstrom isn’t as fast as he thinks he is…
by dawgaddict on Jun 25, 2008 7:21 PM EDT 0 recs
We definitely don't...
...need to start putting their leadoff man on base. That’s been our undoing.
by RedCrake on Jun 25, 2008 7:31 PM EDT 0 recs
Does anybody else...
... think it’s funny how they keep talking about the quality of Fresno’s competition in the CWS, yet when they show all the first round picks they’re from teams we had to play?
by RedCrake on Jun 25, 2008 7:32 PM EDT 0 recs
That ball wouldn't have been out of a lot of parks . . .
. . . or, with a wood bat, any.

Detwiler is killing us
How are we letting a .256 hitter who looks like Ray Liotta do this to us.
by ClassicCityDawg on Jun 25, 2008 7:37 PM EDT 0 recs
Hopefully
... because that means we’ll end up winning this game.

Ray Liotta

BTW, Kate Turner isn’t looking too spry these days, is she?

I've come to the conclusion
that the only thing worse than Mike “Crazy Legs” Patrick is ESPN’s cheeseball selection of music.

I got sick of ESPN's coverage...
a long time ago. I’m listening on the radio

Yeah...
you find out what happens earlier on the radio. It’s kind of like listening to the football games in that way.

Now they are telling us that FSU started unranked
Funny how they forgot to mention that they were ranked in two of the three polls. Yeesh.

We need a Lauren sighting!

Anyone want to place odds
whether or not he refers to Ahmady as Poythress this inning?

It would be nice to get some extra base hits
Almost nothing but singles

Lyle needs to learn to take a pitch
His average is much higher if he looks at the first one.
by ClassicCityDawg on Jun 25, 2008 7:45 PM EDT 0 recs
We're trying to beat them at their own game . . .
. . . and that will never work.
Lewis didn’t need to hack at three pitches while swinging for the fences and all Peisel needed to do was punch a base hit through the gap.
If we keep trying to go yard in every at-bat, we’re going to lose.

That was what we needed . . .
. . . a Fresno State 3-2 count that produced an out rather than a baserunner.

True . . .

Twice in a row, 3-2 turns into an out.
Definitely what we needed.

1-2-3 . . .
. . . and their pitcher goes right back to the mound.
Just what we needed.

The white works on her.
Lauren, however, is looking better than Erin.

Been hanging with these guys since the 1st Lipscombe game...
and look how well we did since then!! So I have hope and confidence, despite the score. I didn’t fry out in the sun throughout the regionals and super regionals for nothing! Come on DAWGS!!

Again with the HR cuts!
If they keep pulling their shoulders open, we will see more strikeouts and weak pop flys than I can handle. Somebody needs to calm them down.

Another little known fact about Fresno State
every member of their team is trained to perform circumcisions in underdeveloped nations, such as Borneo, Upper Volta and Auburn.

I heard...
Tebow was the one they performed their first surgery ON… could be a nasty rumor though

Who is this Kyle Peterson person?
Couldn’t we get Jesse Palmer or another unqualified UF alum?
I hear Steve Spurrier is available.

Memo to Perno:
Don’t pitch to Detwiler.
Walk him or plunk him, but don’t put it anywhere near the strike zone.
