Thank you very much, Mr Roboto.

This was exactly how most of us expected the game to go. Lots of Ks, low scoring. LSU was able to take advantage of miscues by Root in the 2nd inning for the only crooked number inning of the game. I expect them to play 2 more times this week.

re: VAN Horn gave us this one.

DVH started his ace and then pulled him for a stud reliever. He made the right moves. They just couldn't handle Kade Anderson.

re: Removing shores?

Posted by clamdip on 6/14/25 at 9:20 pm
It was absolutely the right play. People who watched a lot of LSU games and a lot of the LSU bullpen knew Shores was an 8th inning attempt to stretch it to the 9th for Evans.

Everyone did their job tonight.
It's about mixing speeds and location, bro.

Pulling for LSU (obviously). If Arkansas sends us packing I will be pulling for them to win it all.

Same. I'm not an SEC!SEC! type, but would like to see Arkansas or Cinderella Murray State win it if we can't.

I think Arizona is gonna make some noise from the loser's bracket on the other side.
I got custom lens replacement at Williamson and 10 months later have nothing but good things to say about it.

Has this proven to be true?

Depends on the wind. Home plate is in the Northwest corner of the field. Wind for next several days is expected to be strong out of the SSW. So, best chance is left field. Like that opposite field homer Arizona hit today.

Did you mean exorcised?

Big surprise to me is the success Arkansas has had with Louisiana kids. I have two LSU legacy family members at UA and they’ve gotten a lot of kids who would have gone to Ole Miss/Alabama in the past

Our daughter went there. Arkansas with the neighboring state exemption on out of state fees is a big help.

That means Peterson and Burke for our game

True. That's good news. Odds on hearing about a Brandon Larson HR?
It's Perez and big Ben with Ravech today. Blech.

re: 75th anniversary of cws

Posted by clamdip on 6/13/25 at 10:53 am
Ok, maybe my mind is slow today... The 50th anniversary was in 1996, Warren Morris, etc. That was 29 years ago.

I think it's the 75th year in Omaha, and 1996 marked the 50th year overall? The first few years of CWS were not held in Omaha.

Lol. And all the latest viruses as a bonus!
If we had hired the guy who bolted to Texas instead, Tom Herman, Burrow would have still wound up here. Herman recruited and coached him at Ohio State.

Now though, for a stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer, you know, major appliances, it's probably cheaper to buy the extended warranty in the lo g run.
Someone should do a study on the life of appliances to see how in line they are with lasting past their warranty.

You really think warranty companies don't already have actuaries?

I just had my water pump replaced at 97,600 miles. It cost me $355, if I wouldn't have the warranty it would have been $1800 out of pocket.

$1800?! At a dealership, maybe. Why would anyone who is not a blue haired granny take their car to a dealership for a water pump?

He said you can't have it both ways, basically, if you want 13k screaming in the stands, you're going to get the other too.

Exactly. I've got a friend in a pro sports club that is in a position to take a lot of heat. He complains about it to his close friends, but he also knows the reason there are insane amounts of money being thrown at him and his players and coaches is because people are passionate. It's part of the package so better get used to it.

Think about it. He and Jay are in one of the few businesses where people are so passionate they will tattoo the company logo on themselves. Can't say that for many businesses outside sports and car/motorcycle brands.
