I agree with you 100% percent. If LSU dissappeared tomorrow into the Mississippi River I wouldnt blink twice. But all these fools blaming the umpires is Fn ridiculous. We didnt hit, field, or throw when we needed to!
I had a blast last night except for the final score. Not a single problem with lsu fans.
GEAUX UL!
I umpired baseball games for about 7 years...had to recently retire at the young age of 23 in order to work in this so called "real world." I know a thing or two about the rules of baseball. I did DVR the game last night and when the fair/foul ball play happened, I let it play out and then backed up to watch it again and again and again.
The ball never hit in foul territory until after it was past the bag. I don't know what cajunhawk was watching, but he may be blind himself. Whether it was fair or foul, I do not know. The angles CST provided were not conclusive for me to make a judgment, therefore (to take a page out of the NFL), I cannot say the umpires call was wrong because of the inconclusive evidence. He ruled it fair and nearly 24 hours later, it's still a fair ball. Arguing about it here will not change anything and everyone looks bad arguing about it.
Both teams played an excellent baseball game that had fans of both sides on the edge of their seats until the final out was made. LSU was the better team last night. They took advantage of our mistakes and calls that went their way. That's the sign of a good baseball team. We did not do a good job of scoring runners in scoring position in the first 3 innings. Only scoring 1 run in each of the first three innings was, I think, ultimately cost us the ballgame.
Good luck to the Tigers the rest of this year and hopefully they represent the state well in the postseason.
GEAUX CAJUNS!!
Some of our fans need to learn to say congratulations and move on. The call is what it is. Had we done a better job of hitting and fielding we might have won this game. Either way we lost a 5-3 decision. All the what ifs in the world won't change that. We still have a conference tournament to worry about.
By the way, that was some of the best baserunning I've seen of any of the teams we've played. Gibbs has thrown out some very fast runners who got the break on him and he couldn't get it there last night.
wow.....just wow!!!! so many cry babies. ul-l did not play a good game, they commited to many errors.....oh! harst did touch that ball, frigging ray charles could of seen that! and no it wasn't out of bounds so quit crying. ul-l had a chance to win and they blew it plain and simple. i hear all these ''if this" and "if that" well buddy if "if was a fifth we would all get drunk" lsu was the better team and its hard for many cajun fans to admit it. just say it.....lsu was better.
Anyone who is whining about the umpiring is just showing how much of an ass they are. LSU at the bare minimum tied the game at that point, so stop crying.
We had an enjoyable time with the LSU fans before, during, and after the game. :cheers
BATON ROUGE - When the baseball programs from UL and LSU played each other twice in the 2002 NCAA Regional Tournament, the teams shared responsibility for a messy situation that included ejections, suspensions and controversy.
After Tuesday's 5-3 win by the Tigers, UL coach Tony Robichaux and second-year LSU coach Paul Mainieri shared their excitement as the rivalry was reborn at Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge. It ended a six-year hiatus in the heated series as the teams played without incident in front of an announced crowd of 4,050.
"I know a lot has been made of what happened (in 2002), but I wasn't here," Mainieri said after the game. "Tony and I talked, and both of us want to have good sportsmanship. There was not one ounce of bad energy the whole game.
