Should have left joey in!   :angry:    

He had to depart us for a nice steak and a vat of chardonnay with his work clients.

Left us with the Mickey's hand grenades (and the loss)!

No decision. Got out of the inning.

Nah, still saddling you with the loss tonight just cause you let something like obligations and doing your real job ferry in the way. Kind of like how Luke Walton was NBA coach of the month even though he recorded no wins.

Carrara with the L.

It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong.

I am NOT a big man.....

**********************************************

Is the modern athlete a pale imitation of the great old warriors? 

Only Crash Davis stand out this year, begging the question, "What are these boys thinking about, 'cause it sure ain't baseball."

***********************************************

Sorry, I love that quote. 

Seriously though, what the heck happened when I left in the 7th?  Duke gets an out, Shugart gets an out, and we give up two in T9.  SMH. 

My thoughts:

• Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is a good Lamar team, with wins of #7 LSU and #23 ASU, but we should beat them. 
• Mentioned it during the game, stringing hits together is something we have had a hard time doing in our losses.  We get one on, and two down before we get a hit.  End up with runners on 1&2, or on the corners, then fail to find that timely hit to knock them in.
• Say what you will about Lamar, but they really squared up several balls tonight. 
• Didn't see the misplay in CF, but that didn't help, neither did the call on Rand; (listened to that on the radio on my way to my dinner and both Craig and Bill felt he was clearly safe.  Blue disagreed.) 
• Oklahoma is very streaky coming into this weekend.  They win 5, lose 5.  They lost 5 in a row before beating Arkie Little Rock tonight. 
• I don't know what Texas team shows up this weekend.  Take your pick.
• Mayes struggled in his appearance.  He needs to bounce back.
• For your daily dose of sunshine; this one doesn't count in conference.  We currently sit tied for 3rd with TCU.  Ok St is undefeated at 5-0 and Tech has a 5-1 record.

Great quote joeywa and very apropos. The problem is this team doesn't have the brave old warrior that stands out. This is something I never thought I would day about this baseball program, but they don't know how to win anymore.
