I really can't see this team hosting a regional. We were just way too over hyped

I'm feeling pretty crappy after getting swept with the lemon juice poured in the paper cut coming from getting screwed in game 3 worse than Theon Greyjoy now is. But, there's still some baseball left to go. If we put it on the Beagles Tuesday night and find a way to sweep the Bears this weekend (or at least win the series) I'll feel a bit better.

If we don't finish 3-1 or 4-0 this week, our hosting chances will be near zero. I'm amazed we're even ranked with double digit losses, some to total crap teams.

Memphis is now 18-14, Holy Cross is 10-17, Arizona is 14-19

I don't know how long our "street cred" for playing in the championship series at the CWS will last. Losing Renfroe hurt, losing Frazier is killing us.

His TALENT level, as a hitter, is higher than anyone on this roster, and it's not really close.

Going to be tough because with an offense like ours there is just NO room for error even against a crappy team. Just like Saturday it just took one misplay even with our best pitcher going to cost us the game only allowing 2 runs with LSU pitching a freshman starter. Heck, I don't even have a clue who is left to start against USM on Tuesday. My feeling is now after this past weekend we are just fighting to MAKE the postseason. I know our schedule slacks up after this weekend but the problem is we haven't show the ability to actually SWEEP teams at home and we have shown very little ability to play well on the road. Away from DNF we have one win against AZ and the DH win against GA and that is it.

I would rather see Humphreys at least have an opportunity. Im sick of seeing Rea get up with an opportunity to get an RBI or a key hit and just watch him swing and miss on 3 straight curve balls. Move Rea to the 5 hold and put someone who puts the ball in play at the 3 spot. Shit, I love the line up having Pirtle in the 3 spot. We are missing way to many chances to put runs on the board with Rea at 3.
