Monday Meanderings

When was the last time Texas Baseball team won a game the old fashioned way? You know, get ahead and stay that way till the end. Consider:

Regionals - behind Army 10-6 in the bottom of the 9th, 8 runs cross the plate to win 14-10. Four to tie and a walk-off grand slam to win.

Regionals - tied with Boston College, Austin Wood pitches 12 1/2 innings of no-hit baseball. In relief! Horns win after NCAA record 25 innings. Yes, 25.

Super Regionals - NCAA record 7 sacrifice bunts and a walk-off grand slam against TCU.

Game 1 CWS - With the score tied and two outs in the bottom of the 9th, Texas beats Mississippi State with a walk-off walk! Augie told the batter: "Take on every pitch. Do not move the bat off your shoulder."

Game 2 CWS - Down 6-0 in the 3rd inning against arguably the #2 pitcher in college ball, Texas ties it in the 4th, knocks #2 pitcher out of the game in 3 1/2 innings and wins 10-6!

Game 3 CWS - Again up against Arizona State and #2 pitcher, down 3-2 in the bottom of the 9th; Texas, known as a small ball team wins with back-to-back home runs!

It will be interesting to see if there are any more miracles against LSU.

Indulging ourselves with fresh Bing cherries from Central Market. They are so good. And almost affordable. I remember fresh cherries in an outdoor market in Prague. As I recall they really were affordable.

Birthday and Father's Day this past week. Both were very enjoyable occasions. I've received well wishes from friends and families, dined well, shared in a cake at the office and enjoyed myself thouroughly.

Mom's black eye is slowly getting better. And no, there will be no pictures posted. And I know what you are thinking and the answer is no, I did not! If there were a black eye under that circumstance it would be the other way around!
