College baseball

... FL is out, Auburn is avenged, Ark. is in the Finals, Go Beavers!

Beavers 5-2, dodged bases loaded in the 9th, 3 straight wins to meet Ark. in the best of 3 Finals. Mon., Tues., Wed. nights.

Woooooooooo, Pig! Sooie!

I'm still learning how to speak Southern. Is that support for Ark. or making fun of them?

catch the pop up, game over, piggies win championship

2nd baseman warns off the other two players in position to catch the season winning popup so he can overrun it for the loss and on to game 3

Whoops, I forgot to watch last night, thanks. Yeah, that was ugly, the 2nd baseman was in the worst position of the 3 to track it down and catch it. If OSU wins, they should give the MVP to the Ark 2nd baseman.

I don't care who wins, but I always worry a little for these players, who make such bad mistakes at crucial times, taking more blame than they can handle.


hopefully, he redeems himself tonight




I haven't heard anyone spit out the name "Wrong way Bo" in a long time, but it took a while for all of his great plays to show above the one mistake

Maybe next year. No one on Ark. did any redeeming last night. At least it was the third baseman that made the one error. OSU won 5-0.

Oregon State baseball closes out unfinished business with 2018 College World Series championship

... The Beavers are national champions . . . despite losing the tournament opening game 12 days before, pushed into a corner not five hours after this College World Series began. Six elimination games they faced in 11 days, six they won....

They are champions . . . even after dangling over a cliff Wednesday night, down to their last strike against a Razorbacks team that had been 44-0 this season when leading after eight innings. Of the previous 128 CWS teams who trailed in the ninth inning, 126 had lost. But they didn’t....

They are champions . . . because they found absolute magic on the mound from an unflappable, remarkable freshman. This time last year, Abel had just graduated from high school in San Diego and was watching the finals on television with his parents, getting ready to leave for summer school. Thursday night, he mowed down Arkansas with a complete game two-hitter, retiring the last 20 Razorbacks he faced (129 pitches) -- 24 hours after he struck out the side in relief (23 pitches) to be the winner in Game 2.

... the first pitcher to ever go 4-0 in a single College World Series — two as a starter, and two in relief. His CWS numbers were 21 innings pitched, 23 strikeouts, and two runs allowed. He allowed two runs all month in 29 NCAA tournament innings, with 31 Ks....

Last night: 31 batters faced, 0 runs, 2 hits - both in the 3rd, 2 walks, 10 strikeouts. Ark. had not been shutout all season.

Hell of a showing by the freshman, but didn't you say,


"I was just teasing, anyhow. I'm sure that college baseball is meaningful

. . . for some people. "

[Vrede too]

He'll of a showing by the freshman,

Yup. Without the same rules as other sports, I wonder if he completes college before moving on.

but didn't you say,

"I was just teasing, anyhow. I'm sure that college baseball is meaningful

. . . for some people. "

That was still regular season. I guess it is meaningful to me . . . during the commercials of other shows, or as background noise when I'm on the computer.

Nothing wrong with putting off college. You can do college anytime, but not so with professional baseball.

College helps most of us make money and establish careers. Being a pro ball player (or rock star) makes even more money and opens doors to many careers.

I agree, I was just wondering if he'll take immediate advantage.

When Robert De Niro gave his "Fuck Trump" speech I came across one pretentious web poster claiming superiority because "uneducated" De Niro dropped out of high school at age 16 to pursue acting. It made no difference to the idiot that De Niro has:

A 12 year and now a 21 year marriage;
6 children;
2 Academy Awards;
2 Golden Globes Awards;
Countless other awards and nominations including several Lifetime Achievement awards;
2 Honorary Doctorates in Fine Arts;
The Presidential Medal of Freedom;
A net worth of $200 million.

Trumpettes are "special".

And is better read than trump and bush combined.
Just a guess about De Niro, but a fact about the other two.

Not that it's saying much. De Niro can read a script and pronounce the words correctly, so that one is a gimme.

More seriously: "Educated" can be associated with diplomas and degrees, but they don't define it. I told the Trumpette asshole that if he was better educated he would know that.

It happened again, this time about Cher because she spoke out against POSPOTUS' immigration policy.

Cher was too stupid to finish high school. That gives her lots of credibility with liberals.
