Next game for Post 58 is Saturday night at 7.00pm at Gryphon stadium.
N C State announced today that Chris Schaeffer the Pack's starting catcher will miss this weekend Regional as he has lingering effects from being knocked out in the ACC championship game Sunday. The pack is making that dreadful trip to Myrtle Beach while North Carolina gets to go to Beautiful Norman Oklahoma. I have not seen ESPN's TV schedule for the weekend to see if we will be able to watch either live of if we will have to use Game tracker.
There seems to be no clear answer to what kind of tournament the ACC needs to hold in baseball that will not wear out the pitching of all the teams. The best scenario that I have heard is let 5-12 play day one just like the basketball tournament. The winners then play the top four seeds in a single elimination tournament. If a top four seed makes it to the finals then they will only play three games just like any conference weekend. If any body else makes it then they will have to play four games and that is the punishment for not finishing in the top four.
What I really like about this proposal is all teams play and every thing is important for every team playing. This round robin format just doesn't cut it.
Tiger Woods will try to hold on to the #1 world ranking this weekend as he once again returns to golf. I just don't understand how the world rankings works. Tiger has one top ten finish in the in the last eight months any yet he is still number one. Both Phil and Tiger are playing in Jack's tournament The Memorial.
How bout those Atlanta Braves, they have taken over first place from the slumping Phillies. I have a good feeling about this Braves team.
Tonight is game three of the Stanley Cup. Somewhere along the way I have lost my care for this years Cup. The Hurricanes have not played in seven weeks.

The "ESPN" bracket 99% sure will be the UCLA/LSU/Irvine bracket.
The ACC has got to get a new bracket system. The simplest way would be a straight up single elimination tourney, with the bracket the same as the basketball format.
Regarding the Golf world rankings. Basically, your ranking goes back 2 years worth of results with a strong emphasis on the last 13 weeks worth of tourneys. So Tiger stays at the top, because of the year he basically won every tourney he played in. So that is why its only taken til now for Lefty to get on a roll and almost climb over Tiger.
I dont care if it was a legal play or not, running over the catcher should be an automatic ejection from any collegiate ballgame. If the catcher was in the way, slide and run out of the baseline and you'll still get safe due to obstruction. It'll surely be interesting when FSU comes to Raleigh next year, wouldnt want to be that kid or his parents. He is certainly going to hear it.
