ParticipantSometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes it rains. With apologies to Nuke Laloosh, State has seen way too much of the middle and latter, and n

ModeratorThere ya go, Mr. Barber.
The azeleas are late this year. From bonefide experience, The Pack blooms at the same time.
Check the calendar…

ParticipantI got azaleas busting out since last weekend. Pack better follow suit. 🙂

ParticipantNice to have you back (unless I’ve missed other posts, but I don’t think I have). A winning streak would be nice. Let’s at least hope for a playing streak. At least they’ll be on ESPN3 and I can watch it, assuming they play. I’ve seen plenty of movies where a struggling team goes on a late winning streak. These days, life imitates art.
Azaleas? Don’t know the meaning of the word. We had a blizzard the other day (literally). It’s all melted now, though.04/24/2015 at 9:25 AM #85633Prowling Woofie
ParticipantWow, and I thought the division imbalance was bad in football…

Participantwell, we would get a game in if we upped the Saturday start.
for example: UNX is playing BC @ 10:30 AM.04/24/2015 at 7:27 PM #85662Wufpacker
ParticipantDunno when UVa got into town, but two today woulda been fine by me.

ParticipantGopack.com said ESPN3. I open up ESPN3 this morning and nothing. Looks like I didn’t miss much.

ParticipantPitching seems to have been the biggest issue with the team this season. I have seen them just fall apart late in the game, after the game was close. Like the UNC game, where the pitcher hit the batter, for the winning run, with bases loaded, then last night vs UVA, we had a tight game going, then errors, and wild pitching doomed us, and we got whipped. Hope we can manage to win the series. But pitching will again decide our fate, and we just don’t have the reliable pitchers we have had, in previous seasons.

ParticipantNot surprisingly, Pack vs ‘Hoos washed out Sat night. DH today beginning at 11:30am…2nd game ~3:15pm.
FWIW the Pack goes into Sunday clinging to the 10th and final seed for the ACCT having been jumped by UVa, GT AND Wake since Friday.

ParticipantPack ain’t dead yet.
State takes 1st game of today’s DH, courtesy of a pinch hit Bubby Riley walk-off jack with 2 down in the bottom of the 9th.
Pack will try for the DH sweep, and more importantly, the series win, in ~20 mins.

ModeratorHeavy air, no wind…Not easy to go yard at the Doak on a day like today.
04/26/2015 at 3:42 PM #85686Wufpacker
ParticipantStraight away to center too. And probably had another 10-15 ft to play with at least. Hit the backdrop about half way up.

KeymasterHuzzah!
And as a Karmic reward for wuf’s attendance, the Os are up like 12-nil on Bahstahn

ParticipantSweet.
Ortiz break anything yet?

ParticipantPalmeiro 2 run shot gives Pack first blood in the 3rd.
And BJD’s doppelganger is a few rows in front of me w/ a hottie.
04/26/2015 at 6:46 PM #85691Wufpacker
ParticipantExtra frames needed to decide it. 3-3 headed to 10th.

BASTARD!!! It’s like that Costanza episode, isn’t it?

ParticipantPack walks off again. Dunand with the 2 run shot this time. 5-3 final in 10.
Good day.

ParticipantGood (and much needed) series win-let’s go get some more!

KeymasterThink about what the baseball team did today in the of not one but two must win games.
1. State had not had a walk off win since Game 1 of the Super Regional against Rice. Let that settle in. No walk off victories in 2014 (big reason they didn’t make the NCAA).
No walk off wins this year either…until today.
2. State was 0-6 in one run games this year.
3. State had lost 8 of their last 12.
A link to the two Walk off bombs.
Congrats Pack9!
Let’s have this start a streak.

Participant^ Yup. Hopefully a lot of bad juju got brokeded all up today. 🙂
