If there is dirt around the bases and home -- as is usually the case with artificial surfaces-- he is probably wiping dirt off.

Never been to their park is the grass turf or is it like tulane where everything is turf and is extremely tacky?

Correction: there is no dirt. He is probably wiping off those little rubber pellets that are in the artificial turf.

ZZzzzzzzzz...........this might just be the most boring SBC tournament ever...unless we keep winning! 6-zip USA top of 4th

Maybe he just wants you to BELIEVE he's actually working hard.... it's all turf except for the pitcher's mound. So, I guess "tacky" is a good word then

Couldnt think of any other word, the fact that you can slide around when playing baseball and not get dirty, just doesnt sit right in my mind.

First time I've ever seen it. I never was a classical guy (you know, no turf...grass only) but this is taking it to the extreme. We should just go into the locker room and play wall ball instead (the games would be more exciting, at least)

[jllanclos]

Warhawks storming back (pun intended)....6-5 still batting w/5 in the top of the 4th

[jllanclos]

Mid 4th.
ULM 5
USA 6

Might finally get a close one!

Tacky or not, if andwhen the tigue is ever redone/rebuilt, that is what we are suppose to get! I dont particularly care for it....if we do go to turf, i would prefer dirt on mound, homeplate, and infield
