Tallahassee Regional Game Day Open Comment Thread

by T Kyle King on May 31, 2009 11:00 AM EDT in Baseball

Today, unfortunately, could be the final day of the 2009 baseball season for the Diamond Dogs, so I wanted to open up a comment thread, one which I hope will last through two games (and two victories) . . . but we shall see.

Your thoughts, reflections, reactions, and observations go in the comments below. If you want to follow the action and don’t get ESPNU, you can go to the interactive bracket, click on the Tallahassee Regional, and click on game five. (My thanks go out to Team Speed Kills for calling my attention to this feature.)

One thing you’ll notice with the interactive bracket is the list of teams that already have been eliminated: Alabama, Bethune-Cookman, Cal Poly, Dartmouth, Fresno State, George Mason, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Indiana, Marist, Monmouth, Sam Houston State, Southern, Texas State, Wichita State, and Wright State. So far, this has not been the tournament of the upstart, the upset, the underdog, or the plucky little guy, so at least we’ll be spared the constant commentary about Steve Detwiler’s dadgum thumb.

By the way, lest we forget, this is what’s on the line for Georgia today:

Go ‘Dawgs!

Ol' Lady Luck must be at church...

… ‘cause she sure ain’t at the ballpark in Tallahassee.

So far, we’ve had a runner hit by a ball to get called out, Harvil knocked out of the game by a batted ball that struck him, and Rich Poythress get spiked and have to go get medical treatment (though they did it during the Harvil pitching change, so at least he’s still in the game).

At this point, I’m just waiting for Buzz and Albert the Gator to show up in center field and start pointing and laughing.

Not to mention a groundout scoring a run

Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.

And so ends the 2008-'09 scholastic year

What a crummy, crummy, crummy, crummy, crummy, crummy, crummy, crummy year for University of Georgia athletics . . . at least in sports involving players with Y chromosomes.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m about ready for Cocktail Mondays.

Go 'Dawgs!

We're a golf school.

At least for now.

Actually . . .

. . . we’re a golf/tennis/softball/gymnastics school.

When it comes to sports to which fathers take their young sons, though, you can forget about it.

FSU has now scored 36 runs on Ohio State

I honestly think that laugher of a game is more embarassing to us than it is to Ohio State seeing as how we somehow lost to that joke of a team. I’ll never understand this year’s team. They managed to play like one of the best teams in the country half the time and about the 150th-best team in the country the other half.
