Thank Goodness Goodbye Maryland

I was pulling hard for UVA tonight as they laid  the leather to Maryland and are the only ACC  team in the College World Series as the beat Maryland 11-2.  It marks the last official activity of Maryland as an ACC member.  I am so glad the quitters will not represent the the ACC.  It would however been hard to explain if Maryland went to Omaha and won the Series and left the league giving the ACC their second all time World Series championship for the league. It would have been a hard pill to swallow having to hear that the second title ever came from a team no longer in the league.  Thank you Virginia!

The ACC sent seven teams to the NCAA tournament which is about 11 per cent of all the teams in the field.  They are one out of eight that will be in Omaha which is about 12.5 per cent which means the ACC held their own during the tournament.  They still are alive to win it all.  The key for me will be whether UVA hits the ball and scores runs.  The pitching should keep them in every game. Virginia plays their first game in the World Series Sunday at 8pm against Mississippi. Go ACC!

I'm pulling hard for the San Antonio Spurs but after two games the Heat have played better than I expected.  Even though they lost by 15 in game one the Heat was leading with under five minutes to play and then LaBron went down and out.  I don't expect to LJ to miss any more games.  Hope Tim Duncan and company can get one in Miami or they just might be in trouble.

I know TV has a lot to do wth why the NHL is down to game four of the Stanley Cup Finals and the NBA is only looking at game three on Tuesday.  Here it is almost the middle of June and a winter sport hockey and a winter sport basketball is still being played. You know both sports started their playoffs around the 20th of April and are not through yet.

Tuesday Post 58 is home as they host Apex Tuesday night.  If you want to see a good brand of baseball you need to see this team.  They begin conference play with Apex.  Coach Hank Jones wanted to play better quality teams in conference and that is why we are in the same division as the Triangle teams because if you remember last year between Ahoskie, Windsor, Edenton and Albemarle those four could hardly get enough players to play each and every game.

  Last year was once we got to the park was there enough in the other dugout to play tonight.  When we did most of the time only played seven innings and that is not helping your team prepare for the playoffs.  If Post 58 has a good record at the end of the regular season playing in this division then we will be prepared once the playoff starts a July 3rd.  Come see a fun team Tuesday Apex and
Wednesday with Garner.  We will have a good idea about this team by 11pm Wednesday night.
