baseball: unc @ duke, game two

baseball: unc @ duke, game two, originally uploaded by minervacat. Twenty five. (Albeit without a new photo, because I went out without a battery in the camera last night, like a complete moron. This one’s from early March.) If you’d told me two years ago that I would get a little vapoury when Matt Harvey…

baseball: wake forest @ unc, game 2

baseball: wake forest @ unc, game 2, originally uploaded by minervacat. Twenty three. A large part of Carolina’s problems this season can be linked to the fact that, before yesterday, they hadn’t won a game on a Saturday since March 20. It’s nice to go into Sunday knowing that you’ve already taken the series, and…

baseball: uva @ duke

baseball: uva @ duke, originally uploaded by minervacat. Twenty one. A rare ACC series in which Carolina was not involved. We got a free pair of Duke tickets based on our Bulls mini-plan purchase, and they got used to see Virginia, since Carolina goes up to C’ville this year instead of having UVa at home….

Obviously I take a lot of…

Seventeen and eighteen. Players will ALWAYS look for shortcuts; if you told Pat Burrell he could legally avoid second base and just run directly from first to third straight over the pitcher’s mound, he’d do it. — Rob Iracane for Walkoff Walk

baseball: mississippi state @ south carolina

baseball: mississippi state @ south carolina, originally uploaded by minervacat. Sixteen. Extra special thanks to Ash‘s mom K. for our tickets; which were great seats and we had a lovely time at the game, although I got a bit sunburnt on one shoulder. South Carolina has a beautiful stadium, SEC baseball is good times, and…

baseball: ga tech @unc, game three

baseball: ga tech @unc, game three, originally uploaded by minervacat. Fourteen. Now I know why the basketball team’s season didn’t fuss me; I was saving the heartache for baseball.

baseball: ga tech @ unc, game two

baseball: ga tech @ unc, game two, originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirteen. shep. bought herself a Sigma 70-300mm lens, and it’s kind of glorious. Way more glorious than last night’s game, alas. I love the baseball team fiercely and without reserve, mostly for themselves but in a small part because everyone loves the basketball team…
