#1 Louisiana's Epic Choke turns into Epic Comeback

[ULGrad@HOU]

Geaux Cajuns! Let it rip, dig yourselves out of this beotch.

Doesn't matter. The CAJUNS have to play every game like it's their LAST because it IS!!!

Today is the big one. San Diego State has saved their top pitcher for this game. We will have to fight tooth and nail; but I believe that we will win........

Jackson State will get busted by Mississippi State because their "all trash/no fastball pitching" is depleted. Miss St will send them down to the losers bracket for us to destroy; and we will using Hicks & Wilson.

Mississippi St will be ready for us in the first game, but Boutte will prevail.

Milhorn will pitch the last game, and it'll be the Milhorn that we know from earlier in the season. Bazar will pitch the last three innings and show why he will be a starter next year.

This all came to us after the game last night while sitting on the tailgate of a 10 year old Toyota Tacoma drinking the leftover beer from pre game.

I believe that we will win

I believe that we will win
I believe that we will win

Guys... I'm as upset as anyone that we dropped into the loser's bracket. And it's only the aggravation from the jacklegs that don't understand baseball that it was to JSU. They pitched a gem of a game. Period. Should we have put a dent in their closer?.... yes. But that starter was breaking junk as well as any major leaguer. And velocity ain't ____ compared to control... pitching-wise. The guy's ball was breaking 3 different directions as it approached the plate... and he was placing it masterfully. That was the story. Period. It wasn't losing to lowly "JSU".

We are still a great great team. Whether or not it happens... we are very capable of grinding our way back. We have to... obviously... take care of SDST.

I know the entire analysis of the regional was handling MSU. Well, no one left in this regional are prolific batting squads. We could grind this out.

The idea that we're a fraudulent #1 is BS. Of course people that don't know baseball would think so. They don't know jack. JSU pitched a gem. We didn't screw up at the plate. You knuckleheads that get boners over pitch velocity have obviously never batted against a junk ball magician. They're the killers. They simply don't normally maintain command for long. That little guy did. We should have pounded his reliever, but we didn't.

Once you get the seed, it doesn't matter what people think any more. All that matters is winning the game that's in front of you.

And I believe that we will win.

Let's make it a special day.

Ok man what ever makes you feel better. It is not like we lost 5-4....TEAM DID NOT SCORE A RUN.

I am waiting for someone to say the jack st pitcher will be an early round pick in the MLB draft...I cannot believe someone has not said that yet....lol

Im not upset over the loss anymore. Looking back i blame the loss on Deggs... Late in the game, runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out, Strentz up to bat... Instead of putting a squeeze bunt in play to get a run in and tie the game, we allow the batters to strike out and fly out. ____ poor strategy!

Today is a new day. We will WIN!!

To his defense, Strentz was one of the few who was making good contact yesterday.

Here's hoping for overcast and no rain, out the door we go.

I felt at that point that if we could tie it, we would win it. I can't recall seeing Mike bunt too much. Maybe his bunting is not great and they thought it best for him to stay in for defense. He is also good at hitting long fly balls. But I still would have tried the squeeze, especially with the pitcher that was in.

Just like in all the major sports, when you lose a close game it normally came down to a coaching decision. When you get blown out it was either a lack of focus on the players part or just plain not as good as the other team.

Yesterday we bought into our own hype and got out coached. Simple as that, we have to accept it and move on.
