If ever there was a time when I wanted the Tigers to lose, it would be tonight, b/c I am buddies with the SE pitcher. It is killing me that I am under the weather and couldn't make it ot the ballpark.

So here's to hoping for him going 6 shutout innings with a no decision, with LSU scoring 10 runs in the 7th to win it.
