Stanford/Fullerton Series
Stanford/Kansas Series
Kind of hard to tell how good Stanford is so far...terrific freshman class, but a little inconsistent at this point.
Fullerton was a bit flat. They came in ranked #5 and didn't look like it. But its early.
Kansas is decent...hits well and decent pitching. Can do some damage in the Big 12.

Just im going to Stanford and Fresno in two weekends. Or im going to try to because we have a tourny that weeknend to start off my season.
Right now I'm planning on going. Lets say 'hi' if we both go there.
So far, I've seen Long Beach at Cal. That was a bit rough. Players weren't that sharp on Friday. Today, I saw USF at Sac State. Again, not that sharp as USF made 4 errors. Also have seen a couple juco games. But, its sunny and warm and we're on the way and that is what matters the most right now.
Hoping to catch the Texas at Stanford game next Sunday.

We saw the USD / Texas series. Go TORERO'S. USD played consistant solid baseball. Texas came out flat. I was expecting a lot more.
Texas vs Stanford is going to be a great series. I wish i could go up to Palo Alto to watch it,
So far I've watched a local JC game and...
Long Beach/USC
Long Beach/CAL
The weather in Berkeley was quite a surprise, not what you would expect at all this time of year. Let's just say I'm looking a little bit like a raccoon.

That isn't a good sign that you're wearing the bear. I didn't see how today's game went, but your avatar makes it look like it didn't go the dirtbags way.
I did enjoy visiting with you on Friday. Hope #2 son enjoyed himself in the sunshine.

That bear always looks a little wimpy to me.
The 'trees,' now there's a real mascot.
Bullwinkle...now I think thats ONE roadtrip I would have had to make.

Mr. Moose, if I understand correctly, you road tripped to Irvine, will road trip to Fullerton...but watched from the luxury of your river bed/lake contemporary to watch streaming video from...Hawaii. 
Logistical issues with getting a highly resourceful moose in his tidy whities on a flight to the islands????

With apologies in advance to Joyce Kilmer....
I think that I shall never see
A mascot wiser than 'the tree'.
The tree that looks towards Cal each day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
With branches pointed towards the air
And whispers ‘Wish I were a Bear’.

Go Stanford BEAT CAL!

DB2BMom ...
I think you look very very cute and very very lady bear-like.
URKMB ...
If harassing the guys in blue doesn't pan out, you might want to consider a career in writing children's books/poetry. I volunteer to be your illustrator ...

Re: Hawaii trip....The pro bowl (nfl) was the same weekend as series....Prices for flying, hotels and car rental were shocking ....but bottom line, Bullwinkle is a cheap basta*d. 
Hawaii has steaming video that cost only 9.95 per game...that's right up Bullwinkles' alley.
Lastly, it's 85 degrees outside, and the Corona (the beer not the city) was ice cold. Plus it gave me a chance to wear my new "I Love HSBBWeb" tighty whities....thanks MN-Mom!! Bullwinkle got sunburn in the lower extremities, but its OK....Bullwinkle is now peeling.

COMPLAINT and GRIEVANCE:
Mn-Mom: After thinking about the sunburn in the nether regions over a martini lunch at JJ ”Purty” Landers Irish Pub, Bullwinkle has concluded that the size of the “I love HSBBWeb” tighty whities are to a great extent, too small. The 45 degree angle of sunburn implies that my bulky posterior has turned the tighty whities into a thong. For the past three days I have been wondering why my neighbor has had a rather ghastly gaze on her face, and has been avoiding the Bullwinkle. I believe that you, Mn-Mom, intentionally sent a poorly constructed article of clothing to demean and degrade the Bullwinkle. I am dismayed that you have decided to use your power as the web mistress to such an evil purpose.
(Mrs. Itsinthegame has PM’d me a request to email a photo of Bullwinkle in said tighty whities so as she can use it as a Valentine Background on Itsinthegame computer. Rather, please send a case of undergarments to Itsinthegame. I don’t begin understand the east coast mentality, and I don’t know what sick game she is up to, but Mrs. Itsinthegame; whatever floats your boat.)

Bullwinkle ...
Hmmm ... could that be because they saw you in your tighty whities?

Going to see Texas at Stanford Friday night. Can not wait. The weather will a bit of an issue from what I understand a little rainy and cold. Sunken diamond is a great place to watch the great game of college baseball.

Sorry if I offended you O44...I will gong my self and say goodbye.
We're going to Sunken Diamond on Sunday to see the Longhorns play the Cardinal. Actually, we have about 15 people total from our summer program that will be attending. Should be a fun outing.
06catcherdad - Stop by and say "hi." Section 9, Row F, Seats 11-14...just above the visitor's on-deck circle.
Tom, I will stop by and look forward to meeting you.
When I asked all the players in my summer program about going, one parent replied that he thought attending a Stanford game would be grounds for having his son's Cal scholarship revoked.
So, he declined and said he'd wait until they were playing Stanford next year to come down and watch his son play. It was all in good fun, but I was a bit surprised when he signed off with "hook 'em horns".

Great! Looking forward to it.
A bust this weekend for Cal. Flew to Waco, Texas only to wait in the freezing cold as all three games were cancelled by the Baylor coach one by one... Cal practiced every day, but no games. Flew back yesterday, cold and frustrated... 
URKMB, what a disappointing weekend!!! 
Bullwinkle, I apologize that I did not notice the Valentine you sent me earlier. Well, maybe not a Valentine, but the post you addressed to me on the 14th. I have to confess I could not read the entire message. I started to read it and saw a horrific, troubling image in my mind's eye, and could not continue.
I will try again at some point when I have had sufficient time to recover - or else enough liquid refreshment to handle such a shock again.

Went to Texas - Stanford game today (Monday). Pretty day - but not either teams best baseball. Lots of walks and generally sloppy play... Oh well, hopefully better luck next time...

Going to Irvine/USD game today.

How did the game go yesterday?
I look with envy as you talk about watching the California college games. In March we will drive for 22 hours so that we can watch our boys play. My oldest son is now in his senior year and we will be able to see two of his Div. 1 games. Luckily his younger brother is now half an hour away so we will get to watch two of his JC games too. (then we'll drive 22 hours home) Enjoy your times at the ball field. We will continue to enjoy our time huddled around the computer listening to the games. I'm so appreciative of the internet coverage.

A labor of love I am sure cdnmom...Good luck...safe driving...

stanford and fresno state has been a great series
Our team is out there getting schelacked by Long Beach State, anybody there?
Perhaps DB2BMom is there ... it's her son's day to throw ...
stickwatcher-
I was there all weekend and enjoyed watching your son in the lead-off spot. He's very fast and really got things going for the team with the bunt single and scoring their first run during the Friday night game.

Want to give props to justbaseball's son, as he pitched in relief for 2.2 innings today with 3 SO's with only 1 H. From my somewhat prejudiced viewpoint he looked strong and in control, no doubt helped by the presence of the largest camera lense I have ever seen wielded by a parent

NOT rectified today UKMB! And I think we BOTH could have used one or two of those for THAT game.
Nice to chat with you on the walk up to the field. Hope they get the 'rubber' game in tomorrow. C'ya!
