2010 College World Series

[Favpack]

Froggies take on Flor. State today at 2:30.

Harry Potter (Matt Purke) pitching for TCU.

I'll take Az. State and TCU as my favs right now.

Others?

[TEXREB]

Arizona State is my favorite to win it.

My gut tells me Florida is going to make a good showing, possibly winning the whole thing.

I'll be pulling for the Frogs though.

[Favpack]

TCU spanking FSU 5-1 - batted around in the 1st. Purke looking sharp.

[yankee]

OU beat TCU both times they faced each other this season, but the only way they meet in Omaha is if both make the championship game. this OU team is a scrappy bunch, but Arizona St. is certainly the favorite to make the final game out of this bracket.

[Favpack]

UCLA up 9-3 over Gators in the 8th. Erin Andrews is crying.

[yankee]

OU beats the cocks 4-3 after 6+ hours of rain delays. On to face winner of Arizona state game! Boomer Sooner!

[Favpack]

I'm assuming Clemson finished off ASU this morning - they were up big late last time I checked. Flor. St. 7-2 over Flor. in the 8th right now.

umm yeah...you're immigration law boys just gave up 8 in the second and they're still batting. I didn't see ASU going the distance, but I sure as hell didn't see this demolition happening either:eek:

Never heard of a No. 1 seed being so putrid. Looks like OU probably waltzes out this side easily.

wouldn't say we're going to waltz on through. these teams are here for a reason. although a win tonight would really seal the deal on the beatdown of the state of south carolina. :D

Not going to sit here and say you got a little lucky against USC but, let's face it - your closer was terrible. The last GC batter should have made him come across with 2 strikes - and frankly I don't think he could have done it. He was in complete meltdown mode.

Now that you have first game jitters aside - you'll handle Clemson handily.

OU vs. UCLA in the final? Most likely.

[yankee]

we shall see...





btw Arizona St. was eliminated today. :eek:

It is sad to see that Rosenblatt is in its final year. It will be VERY hard for me to see it go. So much history there. My great grandfather played a big role in building that stadium before his death during WWII. His name is on the plaque just inside the stadium along with Johnny Rosenblatt and many others.

Cool -thanks for sharing. Sounds like it was a terribly tough decision.

FSU about to send TCU packing - 7-2 in the 6th.

OU gets beat by Clemson 6-4. Elim game with USC tomorrow.

Gotta feel for the Sooners just a little, getting the bad end of the weather delays.

well Clemson had to deal with it also...we actually put together some kind of offense today, as opposed to last night. just too big of a whole to climb out of. i feel good about our chances against SC though, hopefully we'll win.

5 errors lets tcu back in. tcu now up 9-7 top 8th

last I checked, errors are part of the game

[CCDawgs]

Wow. I turned it off since I had given up hope only to turn it back on and see this? wow.

[twcpfan1]

last I checked, errors are part of the game

umm. i don't recall ever saying they weren't :confused:

[cougardude]

Way to go Frogs! BEAT UCLA- TWICE!!!:heli:

ucla won the softball right? How many baseball/softball double titles have there been?

[Dawg Fan]

umm. i don't recall ever saying they weren't :confused:

no, the way you worded the post was why I replied the way I did.

[chhspantherfan]

if Purke can beat them on Friday, he will command Strasburg money in 2011 draft.

The 3-2, 2 out, grand slam in the eighth was great and considering that it was a potential career ending at-bat for Curry made it even sweeter.

What a great way to do your first appearance up right!!

Go Frogs.........

[Favpack]

I rarely feel for Sooner fan, but I do tonight.

USC 3-2 in 12 innings. The OU reliever Duke had them down to their final strike. They tie it on a hit, and then win it on a hit after the Sooners went up 2-1 in the top of the 12th.

Heck of a game.

All South Carolina semi now - Clemson vs. Gamecocks.

[WestPlano006]

No way - that was a brutal loss. Really feel for Duke - I think that was his sister crying like a baby.

soon to be plastered on the internet by some classless shaggybevo fan. :rolleyes:

Coach Galloway's daughter looks like she could use some consoling...

Some intense tears right there.

i need a gif of that girl crying...

Sadly - you are correct.

letter to the Editor in this morning's startlegram. Sat is cheers and jeers, so look for Sunday and Monday's letters to the editor for this guy to get a rash of ****.


No respect

I thought I found someone I could cheer for at the College World Series. Then after watching a few pitches of last Saturday's game, I had to quickly change my mind.

Maybe I have been out of umpiring and coaching for too long and things have changed, but what was that clown who pitched for TCU doing with the cap of his baseball uniform turned crooked?

Where is the respect for his team uniform, his coaches, his school and for the game of baseball in general?

I am thinking that Texas Christian University, its coaching staff and its athletic director probably have let this go on clear through this clown's time at their fine university, so shame on them.

To the TCU school staff: This is particularly disappointing since yours is an establishment of a true Christian school. In addition to the general disrespect of the uniform, this young man's national TV display of vulgarity is especially disturbing.

Perhaps you do not know the meaning of a baseball cap slanted to one side or the other. If not, ask around campus, and you will find out.

The kid looks stupid but he is a good picther. I personally think the writer of the letter was over dramatic. I usually root for a team and not because of one player.

people thought fidrych was weird and look at the legend that is the bird. This kid can flat out pitch, maybe the writer should have watched that. As for the dramatic comments about the school and admins, he needs to have a conversation with Phoenix to really see how well TCU is represented;)

I missed the part in the Sunday sermon that talked about the proper way to wear a baseball hat.

Off during the sermon but you already knew that

Who did Frank take his trolling lessons from? Awesome.

TCU spanks UCLA 6-2, forcing a final elimination game tomorrow.

Matt Purke, the homie villain, remains perfect on the year - 16-0!

[F18mustang]

Oh how badly I wanted the Rangers to sign Purke.

[Favpack]

After bankruptcy - maybe - but it cost you. :D

[chhspantherfan]

Great effort by s Carolina to extend the other side of the bracket. TCU ex AD that hired Schlossnagle is now SC AD. What a storyline for the announcers that would be.

[Favpack]

Finals are set. UCLA smacks TCU and USC holds off Clemson 4-3.

UCLA has their ace set for Monday night - I think they will take it in 3, which probably means the GC's take it in 2.

Would have loved to see TCU find a way, but they were in a big hole all afternoon in that brutal heat. UCLA was plain foolish for leaving Bauer in for 8 innings - but that's how much respect they gave the Froggies.

[chhspantherfan]

It was a great ride for the Frogs, congratulations. Getting to Omaha for the first time during Rosenblatt's final year makes it that much more special.

you are right on there. I have been talking to my boys about that for the last week. He is what you want in a leader, actions are as loud as his words.

South Carolina takes game 1 handily - 7-1. Blake Cooper, working on 3 days rest for the second time in a row, allows 1 hit through 8 innings.

Garrett Cole, 1st round pick of the Yanks, caught some really unlucky breaks, but he still pitched only fair for the Bruins.

S Carolina is HOT right now and to think they were a game away from elimination and beat Clemson twice.

SC was down to their final strike against OU. UCLA was down to their final out vs. Cal St. Fullerton in their super. It's a weird game.

[Favpack]

South Carolina takes the trophy - 2-1 instant classic in 11 innings. One of the best games I've seen in a long time.

Gamecocks take home the schools' first major team NCAA title in any sport.

Goodbye Rosenblatt stadium - many a tear shed this past week over you.
