i'm a fullerton alum and saw windsor pitch at least 6 times in person this season. what he did saturday was NO SHOCK to me at all. i expected it. we should have won the game 12-0 but we won - that is all that matters.
because i am a fullerton alum i probably follow college baseball more than any other college sport. if you follow it closely - you can KILL the books - for they are clueless on college baseball for the most part! i suck at MLB - but kill the books on college.

Sunday..
UGa is a competitor & held back their best 1 & 2 statistical pitchers vs. Az as a gamble to have best vs Horns, as Gm-1's Lubrano is a draft pick w/avg W-L and ERA, still must give Texas a big edge at the plate, as the last two weeks in tourney play have seen UT absolutely going off, while the Dawgs have been solid not stellar.
LeCure vs. Ruthven figures to be each staff's 2v2, with the Horns starter having CWS experience over Sean Ruthven(father is Dick the Phillie), the young Dawg is a solid pitcher with average velocity, and the game could be closer than many think, but the power is with UT, as only Morris for UGa has much pop, though the rest can hit and run. Despite closer Startup for UGa, I prefer the Horn middle relief, depth, and closer Street also.
The Horns are on a mission, and played Rice toughest last year in 3rd place finish in the '03 CWS..otherwise may be going for three-peat?
Texas is the play!
Lean to Ark in early game, but must pass at that price, as the Hogs & Cats have played close games all tourney, though small edge to Ark's ability to use #2 & #3 starters plus a nice closer vs perfect mark yet high ERA Cat backed by junk pen..if Hogs choose to shoot wad to stick around.
It still should boil down to plate production by both teams, and Az is at least in gear a bit thus far there, but Az will need to throw strikes..or Hogs will draw plenty of walks to set table for big innings, something they do well & were even able to vs Powell without ability to get hits..this game probably not for the faint of heart?

Monday..LSU
Going against the grain in the early game with LSU, as the line and recent Omaha results say SC, and even the 1st game results of these two may actually have been a better showing by Gamecocks than LSU..despite the egg?
SC, though beaten by Windsor & CSF 2-0, warred hard, and stuck around, though handcuffed at every turn, while LSU banged Carillo for 5 in 2 innings, before being silenced with 2 hits the last 7 innings by Canes Carillo/Gil.
LSU's ace Mestepey is looking for 4th complete game in a row, and has been sharp vs a few questionable teams in that stretch, while the Tigers have been hitting the ball well in spurts, and with wind not blowing in..both teams could do some damage today.
USC's #2 Rawl is actually ace material if on a lesser staff, despite a high ERA he gets good support to win at nice clip. SC has nice rebound history off their Omaha opener shutout streak, and didn't really play too tight Saturday, but rather were outmatched by a future MLBer.
Mestepey is 2-0(4.74 ERA) in three starts vs SC lifetime.
Rawl is 2-0(6.06 ERA) w/two no-decisions in two starts & two relief appearances vs LSU lifetime.
USC beat LSU in a see-saw affair in this exact elimination spot last year, came from an opening loss to reach CWS finals in '02, and make for a better SEC rep via staff, pen, and fielding pct to attempt a navigation of this loser's bracket, but feel LSU is a more productive lineup from top-to-bottom, and may play looser than highly-motivated SC(that really think they can win it all), despite the large middle-relief & closer edge to SC.
May be back later to post a firmed-up side to CSF Romero vs. Cane's Cockroft affair(if not Mia #3 guy..never know w/Morris)..Titans #2 is an ace with nice SO/Walk ratio, while Miami's guy was worked by UF & could've lost minus some gift errors by Gators in Supers..can CSF get to Cane starter or pen before it gets to Gil late?..Miami's weak spot is middle relief?..tough call on two scrappers that are on the march.
Monday's for the dogs?

Going with the Cane pen edge, power edge, and current win streak vs an equally hot CSF(yet held to 5 hits in opener by ace) in a game where both starters should be touched a bit..both have hit by lesser teams thus far in tourney play.
Actually all starters in this CWS have been roughed slightly sans Texas, CSF's Windsor, and Az's MeLoan.
Miami in a softball score.

I was thinking same as Greenie, nobody lost game #2. To be honest, you should have won. It should have been a sweep. Very dangerous play with Motown already taking Game #1 outright. Everyone and their brother said it was a throwaway for Motown. I refused to beleive that and took 8 and 8 1/2. We both should have cashed. Oh well. Thanks for clearing that up...Best Wsihes Mamba...OF

PS..just thought I would note...60k was not all my funds..I have 3 partners and we did win quite a substantial amount on the first game ML. We also bet out on the series....WE also bet ML 3rd and 4th game....If I remember DT was fav in that 5th game..Yes we did get a bad beat on that second game ..Kobe cost us $$ but all averages out. We were at the 4th game in Michigan and it was wild!!I bought tix on ebay for 975 .pair..sect 108 rite above the tunnel.Most I ever paid for tix.
