What I saw was Harst, in fair territory, touching the ball (in the air) in foul territory. Doesn't that make it a fair ball?

No, it doesn't. It's where the BALL is when it is touched, not the player.

Think of it the other way around. If it is a pop fly on the line, and the fielder is in foul territory, reaches over the line and touches the ball in fair territory and it falls down. What is it? A fair ball.

Same principle applies here.

Wow... some cry babies, some butt holes, and a few of us good guys just trying to stay on this side of the dirt a few more days. It was a normal baseball game guys. There wasn't any umpire favoritism, and whether that foul ball happened or not, we let the tigers run wild for a nanosecond... and that is all it took. Nothing we say or do is going to reverse the results.

I'm glad to have the game again. I'm looking forward to more. Maneri seems to be a real good guy and we know that Tony is. I think we are going to have some special times in the future.

What's ironic about this umpiring complaining... I watched the recast of the game on CST.... I saw pitch calls that could have gone either way, on both sides. Both pitching staffs, other than LSU's starter, were throwing a lot of breaking balls... and I thought the ump did an admirable job of keeping it as consistent as possible (for a human).

I think the foul call had more to do with the first base ump believing the first baseman touched the ball and it resulted in a deflection from its original fair path... a perception on the part of the ump that it would have caught a piece of the bag (imaginery plane)... I disagree... but he was right there and I was watching an odd TV angle. Snap call... happens all the time.

Say what you will, I was there and I know and I will never forget where the "responsibility" truly lies.

Well, let me offer something that may help advance this series... because let's face it, playing State helps get our fans pumped up, and it helps us sell tickets and raise money. No small thing.

1) A lot of the Tiagra fans-- particularly the fair-weather fans-- are intolerable. Fortunately, in a year when State isn't dominating, those people don't show up as they did during Bertman's heyday. So I would guess the crowd was milder this week than what we've seen in the past.

2) The problem with the teams on the field, quite clearly, lies at the feet of one man: Smoke Laval. There were never any real problem between the teams before, or after, Smoke coached.

i heard it's why they decided to tear down the box; if you weren't going to grace it's grounds again, why keep it?

I played a round of golf at LSU the other day and saw the progress on the new stadium. I've not read anything about it, but it looks like it will have a huge press box and suite arrangement.

I did not know that CajunCharlie finally pushed this project into reality by his refusal to grace Alex Box. That is way cool... however, I fear that the new stadium is doomed as well... word on the street is that CajunCharlie will not venture into the new stadium either. Doomed I tell ya.

Some of us old timers have memory problems. Thanks for reminding me/us of how fortunate we are.
