Meeting ClevelandDad...

Thanks JT! We'll be taking off in a few hours.

Bringing the warm clothes this time

It's really not all that exciting.

Yea...meeting CD is no big deal...I would rather meet Beez....

O42

I want to meet CD too!

I offered to fly him into Charlotte - but he said no.

CD countered with the following:

1) A round trip flight - First Class
2) A home cooked "Italiano" meal
3) $400,000 appearance fee.

I declined the counter offer.

Flight is good
$400,000 is good

But no on the meal.

We continue to negotiate.

I will keep you informed as this develops.

Maybe he has a hankering for one of your Moose recipes. CD picked a good time to go to Lynchburg...apparently 3100 people at LU's first-ever night game!

JT,

He will have to negotiate really hard if he wants me to cook up one of my moose dishes - Italiano style!

We won an 11th inning affair last night under very pleasant weather conditons. Liberty set an all time record with over 3,000 in attendance - many of whom had Beat Coastal shirts on. Jerry Falwell Jr. threw out the first pitch and he sat near us the entire evening. Good times were had by all

That sounded like a great game to be there at. Wish I had been.

Joey Haug (bbregie's son) stopped by our room last night and we had a great time with him. He single- handedly won the game for Coastal on Friday night. He is a true team leader and he is very, very talented. Great kid.

Very few are bestowed such an honor O42.

Wait....the CCU / LU game was at night? Was CD wandering around the parking lot kicking cats after the game???

Rather meet him in Omaha, but that would take baseball magic

Well, now you can skip church on Sunday and go to the game.

Jerry Jr is an attorney by trade, and the University Chancellor. Other son, Jonathan, is the Pastor.

I shall be meeting CD at pregame BP on Sunday, weather permitting. JT, Jr had a weekend road trip and we did not get back home until late Sat.

Well, if you sit between them, you shouldn't have any worries.

Wish I was sitting there too, even tho the weather is un-comfortable. I can't stand "watching" on the computer. The audio is great BUT every sound of Liberty bat metal sounds like a home run and they don't make enough wine to combat that feeling!

OOOPS!!!!That WAS a home run!!

It was an absolute pleasure meeting CD and talking baseball with him for 5 innings in 39 degree drizzle today. Nothing like meeting someone for the first time and feeling you've known them for years. Hopefully, I'll get to see him again at the Big South tournament in May (assuming Coastal qualifies ).

Post season interview talks about the Flames lack of hitting. Maybe they should give the pitcher some credit???

Lack of hitting has been an issue all season....I guess that is b/c all the bats are over on the other side of town

Was just glad my son had a decent outing...has struggled the last couple of games!

Nick pitched a great game today, puma. And Tyler seems to be one of the only one that's not been choking with runners on base. Congrats Dads.

Hey, maybe this could be the new "secret" CCU site.

Bbregie, your boy once again came in and put out the Flames. Bet they were scared just to see him coming. Gotta keep this up so we can head out your way in the post season!!!!

It's a Chanticleer love-fest on here!

Puma1...if that was your son starting today...WOW WHAT AN ARM. He made a couple of LU guys look sick on a couple of 70-something off-speed pitches after an upper 80's-low 90's!
(I was safely indoors by the time the closer came in for the 9th.)

Thanks JT. That indeed was my boy. Glad YOU could see him pitch. I can't stand not being there.

I have to admit - it is getting hard to keep track of all of the Websters players - and all of their great games!

I actually had to put together a list - and bookmark the sites. LOL

Bravo to all of the Webster's players!!! And keep it up!

Nick McCully pitched like a man possessed yesterday. Really was not trying to trick anyone - mano y mano and that is when Nick pitches the best imho. He got a totally bogus call on a 9th inning 3-2 pitch that was right down the middle for strike 3 imho.

We went from very pleasant temperatures on Friday evening (mid 70's all night) to almost freezing the rest of the weekend. It is mid-50's and mild for opening day here in Cleveland today. Go figure
