Looks like they're letting people walk through Rosenblatt one last time. Neat.

Went to Rosenblatt today. Unfortunately yesterday we showed up too late (traffic!) so we had to come back today after the hellstorm.
From the previous day's failed visit. It looked deceptively coherent:
From today. Baseball fans, avert your eyes:
There's people in the background of that photo digging up scoops of dirt from home plate. I give it 24 hours before eBay listings show up.
What's left of the scoreboard:
Zoo employee going DAMNIT GET OUT OF THE SEATS PLEASE to visiting LSU fans off-camera
They had something of a gift shop off to the side of the entrance, where you could buy what they hadn't auction off yet from the stadium. Stuff like old sinks (20$ for a pair), lockers (10$ each), blueprints for Rosenblatt (5$ each), the old contracts and manuals for Rosenblatt (couldn't find a price
). I got this for 50 cents for my mom, who's been a chef and lead kitchen supervisor for everyone from groceries stores to the Salvation Army, and is also a huge kitchen tech geek:

Soooo... UCLA seems to be doing alright so far. Let's see if Stony Brook can bounce back after letting them bat around in the first inning.

Bit surprised by the Arizona/Florida St. game. Still, always love a good extra innings game.
Sigh, tough loss. Our offense is just plain awful outside of the heart of the order (not that that's all that uncommon) and those guys were terrible tonight. Gonzalez has to feel terrible, 2 huge errors, 1 ball that he arguably should have fielded that was called a hit and then he gets picked off late in the game.
Looking forward to a day when Mike Martin is no longer the manager of FSU. He just can't get it done.

Hi from Rome
Looks like I missed a good one last night. Typical FSU choke job.
Also - Cinderella does great until it runs into maybe the best team in the country

Arkansas is up 5-1 in the bottom of the 8th. Awesome. I fear the winner of the next game, though.

Happy with the win (assuming there is not some disaster during the top of the 9th) today. Although there has been some questionable calls by the umps for both teams.
As for the next game, I think I would rather play Florida. The fact that we were able to go into Gainesville and win 2 of 3 should help with the team's confidence. Either way, the rest of this bracket is going to be tough.

Wow, that was an amazing catch by the SC outfielder.

Man, roughing opening days for the cinderella schools
First I want to say that the new stadium is quite nice. Secondly I want to say, that I while I believed it was a longshot for Kent to win, the umps in the game did their part to ensure Kent got hosed. There was some really shitty officiating during that game.
Still, it was fun to see Kent play. Too bad about the outcome.....

Florida St. is just running away with this game.

Zona is going to win it all, like I said before. The way they rolled through my school and the region was just ridiculous.

I hope the game times change next year, because these 9 PM starts are kinda brutal.
Here's tonight's starting pitcher during what I'm guessing is a grueling workout routine. Be afraid, Arkansas.
Considering SC hasn't lost a playoff game since the opening game of the 2010 CWS (which was their only loss of the playoffs that year), I am in fact very afraid. There's always a chance, though.
Someone forgot to tell the Gators that this game is over already. Here's a furious comeback in the seventh.

Holy crap what a game. KSU pitchers did all they could to choke it away in the end, but somehow they managed to squeak by. Florida has to feel like crap right now.
You can't ask for a better chance than UF had at the end there. Man, what a finish.

I only saw the last two innings of the Florida/Kent St. game, but what I saw was pretty exciting. Wish I got to see the rest of the game.
Also, great way to start the game against S.C. Go Hogs!
Edit: Really? They are saying that was a swing?

Bah, would have loved a second run there. Still, nice grab by the CF.
Hey, look, the leadoff man is aboard!
Whoa, big interference call there.
Slightly related: I love the fact that there is a Razorback named Bigham.

I can't believe I never thought about that until now. Wow. Also, great start so far!

That was a big run. Hopefully, our pitching keeps producing so we don't need anything else.
Strangely I never really thought about that, but that is amusing.

seems like that's the standard for our seasons recently
Hogs had Colby Holmes figured out from the start. It's all about Stanek's pitch count now. Gotta avoid those first pitch pop-ups and start wearing this guy out.
Let's go Webb!

I love the ridiculous mics on the umps. "That's a tag!"

Well there you go imperius, no leadoff man on base this inning.
