What are the rules for substituting players during the game? [/quote] each team is allowed only 3 subs.  once a player is subbed, they may not return.  also, when a player receives a red card (like the japan player at the end of the game) they are ejected and MAY NOT be substituted for, meaning that team must play a man short for the remainder of the game. [/quote] Thanks bullets. I saw the halftime substitutions and wondered what that meant.

WWII with different outcome. Germany hosting Japan vs. The USA. USA was the better team, but not today. Japan won it fair and square.

What other games were played that day? I'm sure there were some holdovers from previous games that stayed to watch this game. Congrats on the record anyway.

Mine either. Hopefully it's because the info is already in the computer. You can go to the website they provided and print the ticket form. Surely we ticket holders know our seat numbers. Probably an expense that was cut in order to save money.

UT looked as if they didn't care.....not fired up. [/quote] this ^^^^^^^ [/quote] A lot of that I put on the coach, to get his team fired up. The rest is square on the players. If being a part of the CWS doesn't fire you up, then you shouldn't be there anyway. Ags three outs away.

You never know when one of your lesser pitchers can outshine one of your aces. I think it is worth the gamble if you don't allow it to get out of hand. Our ace didn't play well.

[/quote] Excellent idea.

UT ran into some great pitching from Florida and NC. Don't know what else to say.

Just got home from work. 6 outs away from elimination. Let's Go Horns!!

Good thing Tiger isn't playing, Rory would be embarrassing him.

[quote name="Court_Jester" post="1019360" timestamp="1308447908"] Like the game against ASU, tu still getting the breaks on the umpire's calls/no-calls.  Runner was out at 2nd when stealing, called safe.  Gators only get a double on a home run. Jacob Felts did good getting a single up the middle and then scoring from 1st on a double.  Looks like that was his second run of the game. [/quote] It's a conspiracy.  ::) The call at second was an easy one to miss without super slo-mo. The HR, I have no answer for, but you can't hold UT responsible. I think horndawg got it right with our ace not playing up to his potential. Three of Florida's runs were leadoff walks. As a pitcher, you can't do that and expect to win. We're not out yet. Plenty of baseball to play. Hook 'em!

Walking the first two batters on nine pitches with a 3-0 cushion doesn't help.

Just a little trivia.....I once heard the question asked on ESPN I believe..... "What was the greatest feat ever accomplished in sports?" I thought for sure it had to be DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak, but it wasn't. It's Johnny Unitas throwing a TD pass in 47 straight games. Go Pence!

You da man phatmack. I'll bow out now.

FSU changing pitchers in the first inning.

Worst team in MLB. On track to lose 100+ games.

Just messin' with you scalpem. I know it's tough when your team is out. Maybe Texas and LSU can battle it out again like last time, only with a different result.

[quote name="Scalp'em" post="1018132" timestamp="1307932789"] Hahaha, you can your tail they would've made a better showing then half of the teams that were in the field of 64. There's a reAson the SEC sends so many teams to Omaha every year. Even on down year my Tigers would've thumped tu! [/quote] ::) :D

Phatmack must have had it typed and ready to go!!!! TEXAS WINS and goes to the World Series!!!!!!!

Down to one more out for UT!!!!

Two more outs!

Three outs away!!

On the interference call, I thought the runner should have gone back to second. Strange call anyway for sure. Wasn't here to see the balk. Hook 'Em!
