Also, after dropping someone off, I noticed the $8 Rohto eye drops that I bought the day before were gone... must've nabbed them while I ran in the store.

You must've missed...

This is for a national championship... Give each other hell! :geauxtigers:

Hell yea :dude: Y'all baws catch a few hours of shut eye and wake up bright and early to start the day off with cold one. Then, go find a good tailgate to party pre/post game and meet some fellow good ole baws. Enjoy every moment man. :cheers: Myself and I'm sure thousands of others would love to be there! I bet walking through the gate, up to the concourse and seeing the field in person for the first time will be a moment you'll always remember. :geauxtigers:

I said I would doze off for a couple min here and there with the occasional cat nap after forcing myself to eat something. With that said, you underestimate what injecting methamphetamine will do to the human body.. lol

ETA: I've stayed up 30-35 hours completely sober as well.. Given I was detoxing at the time and since high school, I've had sleeping problems. So yes it is very possible. Maybe not for you, but it is 100% possible. Also, I wouldn't even think about a nap or start to doze off while using until I was close to hitting the 48 hour mark or later depending how much I was using.

Before I got sober, (made 2 years April 18) When I was in the worst part and rock bottom of my addiction, and using a lot of meth, I stayed up for about right at 7 days. I kinda dozed of/blacked out a couple min here and there towards the end. The last 2 days were literally the most miserable I've ever been. That long without sleep, you deff start hallucinating and it takes damn near all the energy you have to process simple, everyday things. Honestly, I just felt like a zombie lol

Thank god I found the gift of sobriety and don't have to live like that anymore. Why that was "fun" to me and something I wanted to do, I have no idea.

ETA: I woke up on my parents couch a day and a half later, not knowing how I got there or how long I had been sleeping lol

I can't tell you I'm sorry enough. I couldn't imagine that. I pray for peace for you and your family, coming from a recovering addict myself. I lost my best friend that I grew up with and considered the brother I never had a couple months ago. Got a call at 7:30am from his actual brother balling crying telling me he was brain dead. He od'd and his "friends" took 20-30 min to get their story straight before calling 911. He could've possibly survived.. Seeing him like that and being with family in the room all crying, I couldn't help but picture myself in his position and that being my family. Because it very easily could've been me and still could be. You don't just get over Addiction, it's a every day battle. I just know today, I'm one day further from my last use.

Because if it doesn't get talked about, everyone assumes all addicts and drug users look like the homeless people under the bridge or begging for money. And that all addicts are these horrible criminals. Yes that's true for some. But for the 7 years I used before getting clean (made 2 years this past April 18), I'd say 75-85% of them you'd never knew did drugs. They lived their lives, worked, had a family, but also were addicts. There are so many misconceptions dealing with addicts. I guarantee most addicts would give you the shirt off their back or there last of something 9/10 times more than a non-addict. I've met some great, kind hearted and truly caring people throughout my Addiction and recovery. But those people get overshadowed by the 10% because they don't fit the medias look and behavior of an addict.

Best case scenario involving pitching assuming we could make it to Saturday:
Wednesday you have to start Poche and hope he gives you 6-7 innings and then let Hess pitch the rest unless you have a SOLID lead.
Friday you give the ball to Lange and hope he bounces back and pitches lights out like he can do. A cg shutout would be perfect, but I think 7-8 innings and a Lil run support, then go to Gilbert/Newman.
IF we make it to Saturday, you pray that sweet baby Jesus has healed Walkers precious arm and he's good to go. If not, I think you start Hess and let him go 4-5, or until he reaches whatever pitch count he'd be on. If he can do that or an inning or 2 more and shutout or keep it to a 1-2 run game, you go with whoever gives you the absolute best chance to win and throw strikes, but have them on a veryyy short leash. Have someone in the bullpen ready at all times and bring them in first sign of trouble and repeat.

Tough road ahead, but I'm riding with my tigers till the end. They just gotta come ready to play and feel embarrassed.

Also, Coastal Carolina started last years CWS 1-1 and came back to win it all... So what I'm sayin is, we have a chance baws.

I was going to say the same. Along with Hester stopping that guy in his tracks, that was one of the best thrown/placed balls and best catch I've seen.

I still want to jump up and get excited when I watch it

Yea I figured that's what it was when I watched it the 2nd time to get the quotes. I still found it funny. If/when I have a son, I'd much rather his coach tell him something like this, and add in to respect the other team instead of "disgrace their family." Yea kids are supposed to have fun playing, but the way I grew up, it was about winning. When we were winning, I was having fun lol. Screw the "participation trophy" bs.
