LSU vs. Texas, Game 1: Brief Preview and Open Thread
And The Valley Shook —
With Poseur's post about Talent vs. Magic, and the questions answered by Burnt Orange Nation, plus my answers to their questions, and Poseur's late evening rant, we're going to keep the formal preview brief. It's going to be ace against ace tonight as Louis Coleman will be on the mound for LSU and Chance Ruffin will be on the mound for the Longhorns. Both lead their respective teams in innings pitched, and both are right handers. Ruffin has an ERA of 3.27 on the season.
The big difference between Texas and a ...
How Did Richard Do?
And The Valley Shook —
Before the Championship Series started, I exchanged a Q&A; with Burnt Orange Nation, wherein I gave my thoughts on how the series might go and how each team had its advantages. Let's see how I did:
Blake Dean and Ryan Schimpf are lefties who hit righties really well, but the real key is Jared Mitchell. Mitchell plays every day, and there probably isn't a hitter in the CWS who is better against right handed pitching than Mitchell is. He hits the ball hard and is a tremendous home run threat against right-handed ...

Do You Believe In Magic?
burntorangenation.com 6/17/2009 — You can call it magic. The fickle Baseball Gods smiling benevolently down upon the Longhorns. Maybe it's just pure moxie. Perhaps simple, blind luck. Whatever the case, it's becoming increasingly apparent that this Longhorn baseball team has "it." True, there are still games to win before the ...

burntorangenation.com 6/10/2009 — Bunting is like Greg Davis, everybody has a (mostly negative) opinion.

We ...
