Florida Series

[Joe Mayo]

Big weekend obviously. Something that worries me that Henderson might do this weekend is bench Foscue some. With Westburg having a good last couple of games, I think he will for sure start him at 3rd again. I've always thought Foscue was the better defender of the two but Henderson clearly feels Westburg is better defensively.

Florida starts 3 Right Handers on the mound and I could see him going to a left handed DH of Hatcher or Vansau. I know it sounds like a crazy concept to bench our leading hitter in conference play in a do or die series but we all know he's capable of doing it.

I'm just afraid we're gonna look at the lineup on Friday in game 2 and see Westburg, Skelton, and Hatcher 7,8,9 And Gilbert and Foscue on the bench.

I love Westburg's potential as he's an extra basehit guy and think he's gonna rake in the future, but he's not near Foscue at this point. He had a fantastic game Sunday but let's be honest Kentucky was scraping the barrel for arms and Westburg has struggled against good pitching. I'm all for Westburg being in the lineup as long as Foscue is in there, but if he wants the left handed DH then Foscue has to be the guy at 3rd and Westburg on the bench.

Not directed at you but tired of talking about this team. They have worn me out this year. I don't expect it, but if we make the post season, will there really be any noise made?

Ill be excited.
This team is better than that zona team that made the cws finals a couple yrs ago. That team barely made a regional.

Kind of feel the same way.
Also felt this way about the basketball team this year. Lots of potential, pissed away by dumb stuff. It gets, um,...tiring.

Anything can happen once you get to a regional. You literally just have to win as few as 5 games to make the CWS. Once there, win as few as 3 more and you're in the NC game.

Not likely, but neither was going 6-1 vs top 10 teams. We could get hot and go on a tear at just the right time.

17 Bobby Dalbec. Forever.

Exactly, it's baseball and anything can happen. Especially when you have Pilk, Small, and France. I too am scared of what Henderson might do. I know I would have Foscue, Gilbert AND Westburg in my lineup every single game from here on out.

Pete Incaviglia can eat a dick as well.

 

[Shmuley]

Do you mean Greg Ellena? Because that MFer can choke on a big bag of dicks.

Whoops, this was meant as a reply to tired.

I just wanted to say: username checks out.

Feel free to post reply tutorial meme here.

 

[tired]

Don't do memes but pretty much how I came up with my username. Alot of State teams over the past 30 years have made me tired.

While we are listing off State baseball villains, have to mention Herbert Perry in a Florida thread. I'm sure Mr. Perry is a fine upstanding human being, but 17 him.

How bout the whole UCLA team for that matter. They can all die from Kardashian Klap for all I care. They ruined our Natty!!!


P.S. If we sit Gilbert and Foscue at any time this weekend, we have no chance to win the series (or maybe even a game) and Henderson's bags need to be packed at the end of the dugout.

 

[tatedog]

It's really hard for me to hate that UCLA team b/c they were so unmemorable. Once I realized we would never hit their pitching the rest was a like blur.
