Shit, had no idea about the UIL softball.  Should make traffic really fun. 

There's a little cluster of parking spaces right behind the jumbotron I've used, as well a another half dozen between LF and the tennis complex.  Makes it convenient to run over to the car for more beers.

has anyone listed their arizona state vs. fairfield tickets on stubhub?  i can't do it for some reason.

if any arizona state girls want to audition for the tickets, i'll febreze the couch.

We will beat Southern on Friday night

According to the site, we play at 1:00.

[Guest Lobo]

yeah, old habits from every other regional where the host has played the night game.  

FRI-1:00p, SAT-6:00p, SUN-7:00p (1:00p if we lost SAT night).  MON-3:00p (If necessary)  

I seriously doubt the schedule sticks Friday and/or Saturday with all the lightning coming.

You say that as if we will play through a monsoon as long as there isn't lightning.

[Guest Lobo]

Yes, the rain is an issue.  I am aware of how baseball works.  But this particular system shouldn't provide one big deluge but rather intermittent showers (which will get heavy at times, but in patches and waves).  But it will likely be accompanied by lightning in/around the area which places huge time restrictions on play.  

Good news is Friday, we have lots of time to get the game in...5 hours until the second game, and even that game can be pushed 2-3 hours into the night.  And the weather is looking better for Sunday and Monday as needed.  My only point is don't box out your whole weekend on those specific game-times, they're gonna change a bit.  

[Burt Macklin 19230]

Find you a woman who loves you like Lobo loves talking about scheduling and weather. 

[Guest Lobo]

Find any woman, Burt.  

Juggling multiple jobs and trying to take two kids to the ballpark as often as possible...one has to pay attention to this kinda shit.  Been three years since I had to worry about how to make a June baseball game at the Disch jive with my schedule.  It's a fun problem to have.  Looks like Pearce will make this an annual problem once more, so I'm in...

Nobody's gonna buy those.  There'll be only a few hundred fans of ASU here, that's it.  Print 'em off and give 'em to somebody for good karma.

Putting a top 3 RPI team in the #2 seed regional seems like a dick move 

One of the biggest dick moves that I recall was several years ago when Texas was sent to Mississippi regional and eliminated them.   Think they were trying to fuck Texas and it backfired.

Reporters interviewed Augie and asked him if it was unfair that they put Texas in the Fla St. regional, which he replied, “Yes, for Florida St.”
