SB Open Thread vs Cal on ESPN2
The SB team is playing Cal in the Regionals on ESPN2. Cal defeated Pitt yesterday to advance.
ESPN has the game scheduled and announced at 4pm. the MgoBlue website that is linked to the NCAA Regional Brackets has the game starting at 6:30pm. Usually TV is more acurate, so I am opening this thread assuming the game is at 4pm.
Only one Michigan Softball game today, please!
Was quite happy with my first game at alumni field yesterday. Looking forward to going back over tomorrow.
are tied 1-1 in the 13th.
a crazy game...
Hey- before it starts, something semi-OT: I'll be in Berkeley to visit my daughter for Fathers Day. What to do for 5 days?

not much. some decent restaurants but most of the places to go and things to see are over by the water. there are some nice hiking and biking trails in berkeley - has some nice hills all around it.
otherwise go to the beach over by santa cruz/capitola for a day. whales might still be heading north. surf. see SF, the bridge, marin, napa. you could have a very nice stroll and meal in los gatos and again, some fun biking and hiking trails there too.
Thanks! How are the new cows? Did they sleep well?

they were pretty playful earlier today - fun to watch a 700-800lb animal 'frolic'. the kids were out there giving them names. they were also reminiscing about prior cattle, 'daddy, remember when bull-dozer got so big that we had to...' and 'aw, rocky was the best. he'd come up to you and start rubbing his head on you..'
ESPN2 is counting down to it during bonus coverage of various other regionals so yeah it starts in 5.
This WKU - Georgia game is insane. I've heard about WKU's pitcher but this is my first time seeing her. She can shut it down.
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but I think I'd rather Michigan play Georgia.
not to get ahead of ourselves.
But I had that exact same thought...but I am worried about this game, so I don't want to jinx it, because, you know, I have that power.
/s
Didn't realize how much of a big deal softball is for ESPN. Reminds me of March Madness on CBS, TNT etc..
Falk still in the lineup today. Swearingen pinch hit for Falk yesterday and drove in the walk-off run, so I wasn't sure which way Hutch would go. I think this is the right move though -- Falk has been very good since becoming the go to DP.
Bless you girls!
What is that white thing on the cal players thumb?
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
that it is a batting aid. They pad the area between the bat and the web of your thumb to help grip.
3 up, 3 down. Great pitching!
WKU just took down Georgia in 14 innings.
Both pitchers threw in the neighborhood of 190 pitches.
Its one thing to have to look at highlighter yellow masquerading as Maize.
Its entirely another thing to watch another team do Maize better than we do.....
Seriously?!
You LIKE HIGHLIGHLIGHTER!?!?!?!??!
There was a thread the other night that sung the praises of the mgoblogosphere in contrast to the real world, where the real world was (not in my words) 65% idiots....
4 people upclicked "Maize/Highlighter observation - 1 downclicked. Yes we are still a respite from the real world, but Im worried about the trend....
Ya are a spiteful little guy arent ye now...
Ye heart be of de scarlet en grey variety dint de be.....
Just got smacked by a foul ball during that last half inning when I wasn't paying attention and reading mgoblog on my phone....

a man from ypsilanti caught that one....
(do your best earnie harwell imitation when you say that)
Nice area!! (sorry, had to throw a little Jim Price in there)
With Michigan on TV and Tigers on the radio I am getting confused.

with 2 down, runners at the corners and Blanco at the plate...
Lets move her along.
2 out.
Blanco singles in Monty with two outs to tie it 1-1 in the bottom second.
with a bouncer past the pitcher. All tied up 1-1 now.
Go Blue!!

When I saw your post I figured it was probably a North Carolina thing.
I called Time Warner and let them know that they have a problem with ESPN2, so they're working on it. Yeah, they should have it back up by tomorrow's game!
Ablut 15 minutes ago I got picture for 10 seconds. Had to call back, long story short, a reboot of my box took care of it.
is amazing---such a powerful swing, but she doesn't look all that big physically.
Betsa wiggles out of it!
but no damage. Still 2-1 Us.
Are you at the game?
