PrintI don't know about you, but I had to down an extra cup of coffee this morning as atonement for staying up until the end of last night's thrilling softball victory over Washington. The triumph earned the Bulldogs the right to face conference nemesis Tennessee in the winner's bracket tonight.
The Georgia faithful managed to cram more than 270 comments into last night's open thread. Let's keep up the good work tonight as we cheer on the Red and Black.
Go 'Dawgs!

I don't get it
Why do the loser bracket teams get an extra day of rest?
And Vineyard, if we lose to Tennessee tonight, the Viles officially trump Climpscum in the rival dept for me.
extra day of rest
I think it’s because a) tonight’s games will send two more teams to the loser’s bracket, and b) the teams that keep winning get a day of rest later in the tourney, on Saturday.
It does sort of suck for the teams that lose today, though. Here’s hoping that’s not us.
Go Dawgs!
The losers play their first games on Saturday...
… but then the winners of that first loser-bracket game have to play a second game that day against the losers of tonight’s games.
So the losers’ bracket teams get a day of rest today, but the winners’ bracket teams get the day of rest on Saturday, where it’s more likely to make a difference going into the elimination game(s) the next day.
At least, that’s how it appears to me.
Let's knock the creamsicle clear off em'!

Say what you will about Phil's merits as a coach...
But he would sweat in the most intriguing places.

Illegal Pitches
Where was all this outrage last year when Dawgs’ Christie Hamilton was pounded at the wcws last year?
Here’s to no IP calls on McCloud, Erin or Owen tonight!
Whoa.
It looks like I arrived just in time.
I’m not going to lie to you . . . after staying up ‘til the end of last night’s game, I conked out tonight while putting the kids to bed.
I only just woke up, so I’m warning you: I’ll stick this one out as long as I can, but don’t be surprised if I fade before this one is in the books.
Go 'Dawgs!
As long as tankertoad doesn't show up...
… I’ll be able to stave off the pessimism. I think we’ve firmly established that he’s bad luck for the softball-Dawgs.
I blame tankertoad for everything.
He needs to account for his whereabouts on the day of each and every Georgia sporting event since the 2008 Sugar Bowl.
Go 'Dawgs!
Now to be fair to TT
when I joined the game last night we were tied…and within 5 minutes we were up by three, so we could just as easily blame my absence as his presence…..
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
Maybe . . .
. . . I’m not taking any chances.
We need you to attend, watch, listen to, or follow everything, and we need to lock tankertoad in a lead-lined room with no windows, television, or internet connection during sports season.
Go 'Dawgs!
given the amt of work
my company has where he is, I may be able to accomplish that locked in the lead-lined room. Except he IS government property, and they get very upset when you harm government property.
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
Oh, I don't want to hurt him.
Hey, he’s an old friend of mine from college. I just want to keep him out of touch when the Bulldogs are playing.
We’ll give him a cot, a fridge, and some magazines. He can take a nap and have a snack if he likes. He’ll come out of it better than he went in. Everybody goes home a winner.
Especially Georgia.
Go 'Dawgs!
LOL
sounds like hostage taking to me…also frowned upon.
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
Not at all...

depends
on who’s custody one is in……sometimes it’s protective custody sometimes it’s kidnapping/hostage taking.

Hey, tankertoad is a patriot.
I’m sure he’ll take one for the team by entering the room of his own volition.
Go 'Dawgs!
Good catch.

Well, to be fair...
… the Vols had a fairly easy mercy-rule game last night, and Georgia had a hard-fought, fatiguing 7-inning game against the defending national champions.
It doesn’t necessarily stack in our favor.
no argument here
Oh i agree. Losing to the Viles in the SEC Tourney certainly didn’t help. No matter. I’m only interested int he final score :)

Say what you will about ESPN . . .
. . . they know how to put together an intro montage.
I am officially pumped. Also, tired. We’ll see which one outlasts the other.

Grrrrrrr
I had the tv on the wrong ESPN…..but it looks like we haven’t started yet….

See?
About half our lineup is from in-state, and one or two of the others are from bordering states.

Renfroe v Lawrie
Renfroe bothers me more than Lawrie. Danielle is an ocd control freak who can melt down when you start working her. Renfroe is green & aggressive. Her confidence makes me nervous.
Fair enough.
She’s also making some early mistakes, though. Two walks and an error in back-to-back plate appearances.
Go 'Dawgs!
nerves
Yeah just as i typed that she started to struggle a bit lol. She’s good tho. If we win, it’ll be a tough one i think.

John Wooden, RIP.
Great coach, better man.
Sad that he’s gone, but great that he made it to 99. That’s a full life by any measure.

Very few like him left unfortunately.

Agreed. He was a great man whose legacy as a person, not just as a coach, will endure for many, many years.

Seconded.
While he touched the lives of many athletes, his legacy is passed on exponentially to coaches like myself that use his model for building character in young men and women though athletics.
One of the few people that truly deserve to be called inspirational.

Arevalo back again tonight?
She really pitched a lights-out game last night. Plus, and I hate to be the chauvanist male of the group who points this out… she sure is easy on the eyes.
She ain't my type from an aesthetic standpoint . . .
. . . but she sure can pitch (tonight’s effort notwithstanding).
Why don’t we start Arevalo?
Go 'Dawgs!

"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
Oh. Well.
Now they’re calling it a passed ball.
Either way, this half-inning is looking like the Diamond Dogs are playing.
Go 'Dawgs!
I blame tankertoad.
He must be wondering how the game is going somewhere. Can somebody please call him and tell him to stop thinking?
Is it just me . . .
. . . or do softball home plate umps hesitate a half-second longer than baseball umps before calling a strike?

Apparently...
We’ve decided not to make Tennessee do anything. We’ll do it for them.

How did they just manage
to make throwing a pitch backward sound like a good thing?
Seriously, though...
… seems like the Lady Vols have our number for some reason. We should just complete the analogy and have Pat Summitt get in the dugout for Tennessee and have Andy Landers stand at the entrance to the Georgia dugout, scowling furiously.

In my defense, they did just air an ad for it, so it wasn’t totally out of left field.

Last time I saw us go through pitchers this fast...
we ended up pulling Schlopy in to pitch an inning.
What are our options at this point?
We’ve burned through McCloud and Arevalo. If Owen struggles, too, do we have any options, or is she just out there for the duration, regardless?
Go 'Dawgs!
I actually thought for a minue that she'd caught that ball...

Agreed.
In addition to tankertoad, it’s probably partially my fault, too, for entering this game with somewhat unguarded optimism. Before all previous games I’ve seen since the Athens regional, I came in expecting the Dawgs to lose. Tonight I expected them to win.
That’ll teach me to hope, that’s for sure.

I admittedly have a limited softball acumen...
But the strikezone seems completely arbitrary.

isn't it always?

The ESPN commentators keep insisting that we're switching brackets...
… so we might be playing Florida tonight after all. Well, either Florida or Hawai’i.
(Insert 2008 Sugar Bowl reference here. Hey, wait a minute… what if we can play Hawai’i? MOJO BREAKER!)
Can Marcus Howard pitch?
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."
- Lewis Grizzard
Whoa.
Contramojofication.
It’s like “The Best of Times” . . . replay the game, only lose this time.
Go 'Dawgs!
hmmmmmmm ashley
can ya get us another of those 5 HR’s?

thanks ladies........i liked that :)

If the team pulls this off,
I will personally bake them a whole bunch of brownies and deliver them myself.

Yay.... no shutout

Schlopy is due.

Thats just the melatonin talking.

geez is it a full moon today?
i got a similar comment from a guy at the office today, only his was over my blue squishy stress ball…………something about if he had 2 of them what would he have?
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
A sexual harrassment charge?
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."
- Lewis Grizzard
oh i ignore it
he’s former enlisted air force…..course i had just hit him square in the chest when i threw the blue squishy ball at him & told him to get out of myu office, so i figure we’re even.
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
Wow.... that was lucky
See if we can make something of it.
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."

whew
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
DAMN
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
So basically . . .
. . . all that did was create a fleeting moment of false hope and reduce the likelihood of getting run-ruled and spared the heartbreak of the last two innings.
Go 'Dawgs!
You have been watching Georgia sports this year...
Right?
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."
- Lewis Grizzard
I try to keep up where I can, yeah.
But I wouldn’t call myself a hard-core fan or anything.
Go 'Dawgs!
You can't be hardcore unless you think we should fire Mark Richt
And hire Kirby Smart.
It’s in the by-laws that the AJC wrote.
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."
- Lewis Grizzard
if we beat them in the bottom of the 7th, it breaks their hearts even more
Aaron Murray for Heisman!!
That's the spirit.
I admire that kind of optimism, largely for the same reason I admire athleticism: I possess none of it.
Go 'Dawgs!
Good for you.
I give up from the get-go, but I cheer my heart out, anyway.
What I have is a sickness, I know.
Go 'Dawgs!
I used to be optimistic....
Then I hung out here for 3 years or so.
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."
- Lewis Grizzard
i think i'll do something more fun than watching the game
like paying bills or something.
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
I was thinking about pulling my hair out a strand at a time...
but yeah, bills would work.
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."
- Lewis Grizzard
I was thinking about finding something blue and orange, putting it on, and admiring myself in a mirror...
… but yeah, bills would work.

There's a Silence of the Lambs joke in there somewhere.

I considered
gouging my eyes out with a stick, but yeah bills will work….

The combination of melatonin, bone-weariness, and numbness at the inevitability of defeat . . .
. . . are starting to kick in. I’m going to call that a good thing.
Go 'Dawgs!
I'm here for the moment, anyway . . .
. . . but, yeah, I’m off tomorrow. Sleeping in is relative with a seven-year-old and a two-year-old, but I’ll do what I can, thanks.
Go 'Dawgs!
Don't tell me it gets worse....
I was just getting used to just the 2 year old.
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."

In my experience, the threes are more "terrible" than the twos . . .
. . . but kids have the energy we lack. Maybe they sap it from us, but they’re up and raring to go at hours too early to type in mixed company.
They’re great, though.
Go 'Dawgs!
Yeah....
I really like my son now (and love him unconditionally of course) cause he is starting to like all the things I like and he is generally exceptionally well behaved. I’m just not sure I have the energy to do it again.
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."
- Lewis Grizzard
I can definitely tell the difference . . .
. . . between having a two-year-old at 36 and having a two-year-old at 41, but it’s all good, and it’s all worth it.
Go 'Dawgs!
it gets better
for my greatest lifetime achievement, this off season, both of my children are now adults who do not live in my house…they pay their own rent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
Good inning by the Bulldogs.
Let’s see if that gives us a little momentum going into Georgia’s turn at the plate.
Go 'Dawgs!
Also on the plus side . . .
. . . I think we’ve hit 250 comments for the second night in a row, with a distinct shot at surpassing last night’s total!
Go 'Dawgs!
There are several good treatments of the conference realignment debacle debate over at Team Speed Kills.

Other than saying the SEC needs to grab Texas . . .
. . . I haven’t really touched on it while it’s in the speculation stage. If the reports about the Pac-10 are true, though, we could be on the verge of some seismic shifts.
Go 'Dawgs!
i wish they would warn me about the close-ups on the UT pitcher, I’m trying to eat
Aaron Murray for Heisman!!
You do have to admire those sideburns.
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."
- Lewis Grizzard
I'm starting to think . . .
. . . it’s Steve Detwiler in drag, with a bionic thumb to replace the one that fell off during the 2008 College World Series.
Go 'Dawgs!
it is cool to insult the other team here isn’t it? i’m kinda new to the forums here
Aaron Murray for Heisman!!
Hell...
That’s the basis of 90% of my comments. Then again, I’m a pretty petty, terrible person.
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."

There's that comeback you were talking about
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."

I hear Glory Glory!
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
Glory Glory is great and all...
… but I’m going to mute my TV for the rest of the game if I hear “Rocky Top” even once.

Megan Wiggins!
She’s like the female Gordon Beckham. What a competitor!
And you’re right, podunkdawg . . . they struck up the band.
Go 'Dawgs!
Wow, my posting speed is really slowing down.
Between middle age and melatonin, I’m moving in slow motion here.
Go 'Dawgs!
Bad swing, surely.
There’s just something about our girls tonight… for some reason they’re just not in the same form they’ve been in for the previous 5 or 6 games.
by vineyarddawg on Jun 5, 2010 12:13 AM EDT up reply actions
Alright....
That has to be it for me. The good news is that, barring some miraculous event, the lost season of Georgia athletics will be over soon. The 2010-2011 season has to be better…. cause it couldn’t be any worse (unless of course we start sucking at equestrian).
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."
- Lewis Grizzard
The fact that it couldn't be worse doesn't mean it has to get better.
As my old law school roommate used to say, “Even when you hit rock bottom, you can still wallow from side to side.”
Go 'Dawgs!
I say worst case scenario we win a road game in basketball and show marginal improvement in gymnastics.
So that’s something.
Don’t take my hope man…. I’m hanging by a thread here.
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."
- Lewis Grizzard
I'm tempted to quote Danny Glover ("I'm getting too old for this . . .").
Instead, though, I’ll tell you this, which ought to have you turning cartwheels on your way back in from the ledge:
Willie Martinez no longer has an Athens mailing address.
Go 'Dawgs!
That ought to at least get me to the sequel.

Its a sad day when you realize that your sanity hangs in the balance of your school’s performance in hunt seat equitation on the flat
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."

This is the filthiest clean comment thread in the history of SB Nation.

Oh, Moses riding a donkey up to a drive-through . . .
. . . collisions in the outfield now, too?
They’re looking like the Keystone Kops out there. The highlight reel of this game will be set to “Yackety Sax.”
Go 'Dawgs!
So, in the "What is Britney doing with her life" category...
if you want to know what it would look like if Chris Farley played the drums, check this video out. The entertainment starts at the 1:00 mark.
“Entertaining” might be stretching it… but it sure it interesting.
And on that note...
… I’m out for the night. Take care, everyone. See everybody tomorrow for our date with Florida/Hawai’i/Washington/Arizona/Clemson.

Heck, at this point, I may as well stick it out.
Nice play by Schlopy.
At least they’re still getting after it and not giving in. After the way the football team has performed in three of the last four meetings with Tennessee, it’s nice to see a Georgia squad trailing the Vols by a large margin late yet still trying.
Go 'Dawgs!
The bottle says one . . .
. . . and it seems really firm upon that point, but one doesn’t seem to do anything.
Nice job by Megan Wiggins. There is no quit in that gal.
Go 'Dawgs!
i dated a girl who took several at a time…couldn’t have waken her up if you threw a mad cat in the bed
Aaron Murray for Heisman!!
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
I don’t want to put myself into a stupor. I just don’t want to spend two hours every night staring at the ceiling.
Meanwhile, Wiggins is giving it all she’s got.
Go 'Dawgs!
There's just something about softball and dugout chatter.
When my niece played youth league softball a decade ago, they had the most orchestrated chants you’ve ever heard in a dugout, and they were nine.
Go 'Dawgs!
i'm still here
and it’s still on myt tv, i’m just trying not to pay attention………

Whatever you do . . .
. . . nobody call tankertoad. Let the boy sleep, for crying out loud!
Go 'Dawgs!
I don't know . . .
. . . it looked like a good pitch to me.
In any event, two outs, last inning, tying run at the plate.
Go 'Dawgs!
damn damn damn damn damn
i hate losing to those mutts
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
That said, it IS
double elimination…we still have to play again.

Disappointing outcome . . .
. . . but encouraging comeback. This is a team that will fight and scrap its way through the loser’s bracket tomorrow. It’s a setback, but not a season ender.
See y’all Saturday evening.
Go 'Dawgs!
Also . . .
. . . thanks for showing up, taking part, and helping us top 300 comments in a softball thread. That’s certainly a record around here, and I’d have to think it stacks up well elsewhere, as well.
Go 'Dawgs!
And now . . .
. . . I am going to bed, letting the melatonin kick in, and sleeping off this spicy Chick-fil-A sandwich.
Later, Gator-haters.
Go 'Dawgs!
