I don't know about Cal but I definitely hate UCLA from when we played them in the CWS. They acted like the biggest babies in the world and the announcers made you sick listening to them fawning over them the whole time. You know it's bad when you go to a few of your rivals' boards and they are talking about how biased the announcers are.

The announcer is question was the UCLA homer Orel Hershiser.

What they did, that was unforgivable IMHO, was take possession of the walk off baseball and refuse to give it to us - which was Rosenblatt tradition for almost a century and remains so ... except for that particular game.

The UCLA player who had the ball immediately ran with it and refused to return it and his coach supported him. He eventually put it in a trust with an attorney and I suppose it remains there until this day. He claimed the ball was his, and it was historic, because it was the last game played in Rosenblatt ... I think Jackie Bradley, Jr. may have actually had possession at one time but dropped it or threw it or something .... anyways, it was a chicken-shite thing to do by the UCLA player and supported by his coach.

Game ball goes to the winning team ... except that one time.

Aggie bats need to make the difference tomorrow. I've listened to some of the Aggie games in between watching LSU, and the problem has been a lack of timely hitting. Way too many men LOB.


Right on the money, KCT

There were a couple different chicken-shite moments with Cal last night. Their coach was running out of the dugout every time the ump made a controversial call, even when it was an obviously correct call. Almost was tossed. Then, at one point, they had a runner caught stealing second and he was just straight up trying to run into our players during the rundown to draw interference. Then they went nuts when the ump correctly called him out.

*Adding: Apparently, their catcher told A&M to "frick off" when he hit the winning home run Saturday before they went nuts celebrating on our field. Then they got butt hurt when A&M celebrated winning the elimination game.

That type of stuff on top of bad-blood from the Saturday game will make tonight interesting.

postgame celebration

Several different views of the final play and subsequent celebration by both the team and the fans.

Nothing excessive to see here. California hippie ball players either need thicker skin or a nap.

Under no circumstances should these guy throw. Probably same goes for Long & Hendrix.



Kent should be in the same category. Unfortunately, I think you'll see him in a close game.

Were some controversial calls on the winning run deal I saw. Like a bang-bang play where the third out at 3rd base occurred almost simultaneous to the run crossing the plate.

Very heated buncha games.

Kent can and will throw some. He's not a hard thrower, and he only three 90 pitches on Friday.

I think Kent is probably available for an inning or so. Larkins giving 5 solid innings would be huge

They were close, but the umps got every single one right after looking as replays. Outside of balls and strikes, which is always a little iffy, the umps have been near perfect this regional.

I watched both of those intense games. I hope Banks' and Taylor's bats are hot today. I'd like to see the Aggies make short work of the Bears.

Looks like Kent has done okay. As has their Friday starter.
