    I was going to watch them last week to give them a look— heard that damn whistling and changed games.

    Softball starts at 6PM, so maybe expect a higher demand for parking than is otherwise normal for a Friday night.

    Go GATORS!

    Unless he’s dead he’ll be there. The awful thing has got to be our own fans having to put up with it in our home ballpark. The second awful thing is you can’t really get away from it. If you mute the TV broadcast it’s so damn shrill you can even hear it over our radio broadcast.

    That crap ought not be allowed—at least not anywhere but perhaps their own ballpark. If I were a fan of Vandy that chit would keep me from going to see them. And that’s a sad state of mind for their fans.

    It’s time to be seeing some 7 inning outings. I hope I’m right!

    Looking forward to it. Our schedule opened up rough. I think we have a really good team, but injuries can hurt ya.

    I still believe what I said at the start of this season.
    Consistency is the key. If we can establish ourselves there then we can have a chance to make the run that it will take to get us where we want to go.


    Make no mistake about my belief—this is a train we have to get on board now. There is no time left for posturing or to drag around. Every day every game has to be played with purpose.

    That’s it, take it or leave it.

    That would be great. I would settle for 6 inn, only 1 or 2 walks and a lead. :)

    I guess the surprise for me this season (to this point) with him being a Senior has been Ty Evans. I was thinking he would take off and put an exclamation point season on his Gator career.

    Maybe he can turn it around and get going.

    Time to grab the bull by the tail and look him in the eye. Start a winning streak tonight.

    Top of the 1st

    Humphrey singles to short. Too deep to make the throw in time.
