Ten. Oh, 18 year olds playing baseball, you are the most ridiculous.

college baseball: umd @ unc, game 1
Nine. Patrick Johnson, who Coach Fox once referred to as the kitchen sink, struck out a career-high 12 in seven scoreless innings last night; he was still touching the mid-90s at the end of his 129 pitch outing. It was masterful. Although to be fair, I would primarily classify the University of Maryland baseball team…
college baseball: clemson @ unc
Five, six, and seven. The best thing about Clemson baseball, besides how many curse words head coach Jack Leggett knows, is knowing that all those Clemson fans had to live in Clemson, South Carolina at one point. It’s very satisfying. Of course, so is a three game sweep starting with two ass-whoopings and finishing with…
college baseball: miami @ wake forest
Three. One of those rare non-Carolina ACC game for me. Austin Stadler Nuke-LaLooshed it up, Bryan Radziewski and poor eyes at the plate confounded Wake into only four hits, and it was basically not a very good game that Miami won 4-1. It was a beautiful night, though, and Wake Forest offers chili and slaw…
baseball: stony brook @ unc
Two. Stony Brook, in getting outscored 34-11 over the weekend, did not lend any credence to the theory that northern college baseball teams, a few exceptions excluded, are getting any more regularly competitive with the warm weather teams. Carolina knocked the snot out of them in Game 2 of the series Saturday, and our pitching…
baseball: seton hall @ unc, game 2
One. A perfect short sleeve sunny baseball afternoon, and Carolina improves to 6-0, winning 7-1. Everyone on the team, coaches included, is rocking the tall socks this year, and I couldn’t be happier. Full photo set here.
why college baseball matters
Today is college baseball’s opening day. This is a post that I’ve been trying to write, in a variety of formats, for at least three years now; since the summer of 2008, when I bristled at Red Sox fans bandwagoning on to the Carolina train in the College World Series, calling our I-hate-your-feelings-just-shut-up-and-pitch catcher by…

Dear Nice Person Who Has This Week Repeatedly Googled For The Brand Of Baseball Bat That The UNC Baseball Team Uses: Let me tell you what, after three years of concerted Baseball America podcast listening, I can recite the DeMarini Demo House and Easton buy-a-baseball-bat-from-us jingles along with John Manuel whenever I hear them. The DeMarini…
there is an epic thunderstorm heading our way
baseball: georgia southern @ college of charleston, originally uploaded by minervacat. Rocking my world in terms of inspiration the last two weeks: Kick ass photos from punk magazine Maximum Rocknroll. HOLY SHIT, you guys, these photos, oh my God. A look at thousands of abandoned pools at foreclosed houses in California. Supremely creepy and sad….
baseball: va tech @ unc
Twenty six and twenty seven. The Heels sent seniors Ryan Graepel, Mike Cavisinni and Colin Bates (a redshirt junior who graduated in May) off with a resounding series sweep of Virginia Tech this weekend. Bittersweet because we’re still out of the ACC tournament thanks to Georgia Tech failing to get it done in sweeping BC,…
