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!"
Larry Munson: "Good stuff, Loran"

Loran . . .

. . . I feel better about our chances already.

Go 'Dawgs!

who...

doesn’t have wi-fi these days?
don’t leave us alone in here!

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!

by T Kyle King on Jun 25, 2008 6:52 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yes indeed

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

by SG Standard on Jun 25, 2008 7:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

For the record . . .

. . . this shirt is not completely dry!

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 25, 2008 7:02 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.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 25, 2008 7:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

ok, fellas

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

by NCT on Jun 25, 2008 7:05 PM EDT   0 recs

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?

Go 'Dawgs!

Alright…let’s see what the strike zone is going to look like tonight.

by RedCrake on Jun 25, 2008 7:12 PM EDT   0 recs

Oh good!

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

by RedCrake on Jun 25, 2008 7:14 PM EDT   0 recs

good thing

handstrom isn’t as fast as he thinks he is…

beckham

ole’ reliable…

by dawgaddict on Jun 25, 2008 7:25 PM EDT   0 recs

Yeah, I’m not worried about our hitting.

by NCT on Jun 25, 2008 7:26 PM EDT   0 recs

Weather

Is it ever cloudy in Omaha?

by Tiller on Jun 25, 2008 7:28 PM EDT   0 recs

Excuse me

Poythress.

by NCT on Jun 25, 2008 7:29 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

Shhhhh

Facts only confuse them.

by SG Standard on Jun 25, 2008 7:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Shake it off, Nancy.

by NCT on Jun 25, 2008 7:33 PM EDT   0 recs

Do you think anybody will cry like Tebow tonight?

by RedCrake on Jun 25, 2008 7:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

hell

yeah!!!!!!!!

by Tiller on Jun 25, 2008 7:35 PM EDT   0 recs

sorry

thought he caught it….typed too quick

by Tiller on Jun 25, 2008 7:36 PM EDT   0 recs

That ball wouldn't have been out of a lot of parks . . .

. . . or, with a wood bat, any.

Go 'Dawgs!

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.

by ClassicCityDawg on Jun 25, 2008 7:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

The love child...

...of Ray Liotta and Kathleen Turner circa 1983 (as someone mentioned the other day)

by RedCrake on Jun 25, 2008 7:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Ray Liotta

that about nails it!

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

by DavetheDawg on Jun 25, 2008 7:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

juuuuuuuuuust

a bit outside

by Tiller on Jun 25, 2008 7:38 PM EDT   0 recs

I've come to the conclusion

that the only thing worse than Mike “Crazy Legs” Patrick is ESPN’s cheeseball selection of music.

by RedCrake on Jun 25, 2008 7:40 PM EDT   0 recs

I got sick of ESPN's coverage...

a long time ago. I’m listening on the radio

by ClassicCityDawg on Jun 25, 2008 7:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah...

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

by ClassicCityDawg on Jun 25, 2008 7:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by SG Standard on Jun 25, 2008 7:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

the worst was the song for CFB last season.
like 50 cents and jane’s addiction canpossibly majke CFB better.

by dawgaddict on Jun 25, 2008 7:41 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Massanari is coming up to bat

We need a Lauren sighting!

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 25, 2008 7:40 PM EDT   0 recs

Yes!

We see Bryce get on base and Lauren looking fetching in the stands!

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 25, 2008 7:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Anyone want to place odds

whether or not he refers to Ahmady as Poythress this inning?

by DavetheDawg on Jun 25, 2008 7:40 PM EDT   0 recs

Reach on an error

I’ll take it.

by NCT on Jun 25, 2008 7:42 PM EDT   0 recs

Alright

Lets get started.

by RedCrake on Jun 25, 2008 7:43 PM EDT   0 recs

yeah, but

beats no base hits at all

by Tiller on Jun 25, 2008 7:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

cerione has really turned it around.

by dawgaddict on Jun 25, 2008 7:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

might not be the tourney goat after all….lol
or sombrero or whatever

by dawgaddict on Jun 25, 2008 7:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 25, 2008 7:52 PM EDT   0 recs

I agree

Everyone wants to be a hero. We win as a team.

by NCT on Jun 25, 2008 7:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

chicks dig the long ball

but we in the SEC know that defense wins championships…

by Tiller on Jun 25, 2008 7:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That was what we needed . . .

. . . a Fresno State 3-2 count that produced an out rather than a baserunner.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 25, 2008 7:55 PM EDT   0 recs

It would be nice if Moreau would stop working the count full

by ClassicCityDawg on Jun 25, 2008 7:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

True . . .

. . . but he’ll throw fewer balls the more confident he becomes that he can get guys out.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 25, 2008 7:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That . . .

. . . was some interesting grammar there, Kyle.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 25, 2008 8:00 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah, but it isn’t good for the ticker

by ClassicCityDawg on Jun 25, 2008 8:00 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

nice stop

good defense 21

by Tiller on Jun 25, 2008 7:57 PM EDT   0 recs

Attaboy

Twice in a row, 3-2 turns into an out.

Definitely what we needed.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 25, 2008 7:58 PM EDT   0 recs

bout time

by dawgaddict on Jun 25, 2008 7:59 PM EDT   0 recs

1-2-3 . . .

. . . and their pitcher goes right back to the mound.

Just what we needed.

Go 'Dawgs!

In other news...

Mike Patrick nominates Mendonca for sainthood.

by RedCrake on Jun 25, 2008 8:03 PM EDT   0 recs

Yeah

The white works on her.

Lauren, however, is looking better than Erin.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 25, 2008 8:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I agree...now that they've shown those lovely profile shots.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled game 3 of the CWS.

by DavetheDawg on Jun 25, 2008 8:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Goooooooo DAWGS!!

Finally home… Come on guys… let’s go!!!!!

by 86Dawg on Jun 25, 2008 8:06 PM EDT   0 recs

Welcome, 86Dawg

I hope you’re good luck.

We are this close to breaking through, but we’re not there yet.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Jun 25, 2008 8:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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!!

by 86Dawg on Jun 25, 2008 8:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by SG Standard on Jun 25, 2008 8:08 PM EDT   0 recs

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.

by DavetheDawg on Jun 25, 2008 8:11 PM EDT   0 recs

OMG...

what about Knoxville?

by 86Dawg on Jun 25, 2008 8:12 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Do they perform surgery with Tebow?

by ClassicCityDawg on Jun 25, 2008 8:12 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I heard...

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

by 86Dawg on Jun 25, 2008 8:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

Go 'Dawgs!
