meh, I wouldn't worry about it. I drank a lot at a big party yesterday, not a good idea to post while intoxicated
Sorry, I wouldn't really know, I haven't followed much baseball outside the SEC. At least in this game it looks like State blew a close one. They led 2-1 going to the 7th, and their reliever gave up 2 runs in the inning that made the difference.
Top 25 teams that have been eliminated: Texas A&M, regional host (lost to Ole Miss and TCU) Rice, regional host (lost to Arkansas and Sam Houston St) Miami, regional host (lost to Stony Brook and Missouri St) Cal State Fullerton (lost to Austin Peay and Oregon) Miss State (lost to Samford twice)
Hard to believe a guy that struck out so many LSU batters (Stratton?) got lit up on Friday, only to be beaten again by the same team.
State has as good of a starting rotation as there is in the conference, but you also need a deep bullpen come tournament time if you drop into the loser's bracket.
