Cards drop opening game of series to Cowboys 4-2.

Yes, I base part of it on SOS and part on reputation of them and the conference.

Lamar is actually ranked 35th in the USA Today coaches poll so a few people are noticing them.

Fully understand.  It will likely take a win total that is well above 40 to secure a bid without a conference tournament title giving the automatic. How much above 40????

Birds flying high.  Move to 23-5 on the season with 11-3 win. Strong pitching performance.  Also, 14 hits with 8 extras base hits including a triple and 3 round trippers. 

McNeese this weekend at home. 

Birds and Kats in a midweek contest shortly.

SLC has on occasion sent 2 teams to the NCAA tourney. Long odds with the conference's present strength. However, IF LU can sustain this run, for the first time in years, midweek games may actually matter. 

EARLY to project such, but keep winning and.. ...

Pierce is trying to get canned before they move to the SEC.  The whole Big 12 is pretty bad this year. 

Some polls not posted yet, but K-State at 23 in the Collegiate Baseball Writer's Poll may be the only ranking for a Big 12 team this week.  Amazing may be on overused term, but when you consider the money, facilities, , name brands, etc...this is amazing.

Love to see the Cards playing well. At this pace we may see a Beaumont Regional that would be amazing 

Would love to see that too.  HOWEVER, not only mighty early, the strength of schedule (SOS) will hurt tremendously.  Latest RPI (Boyd's World as the NCAA utilized is not updated yet to my knowledge) has LU at 41 with a SOS of 240.  The SOS won't raise much or any for the remainder of the season. SLC opponents are scattered from 120 to 230 range, thus no real bump and few strong mid week teams left. Also have TSU that is very low and Alcorn with the lowest RPI (305) in the nation. 

A 3 seed, as a 2 seed is essentially the same for tournament design purposes, would be great.  Have to agree with my Uncle Spidey on that one.

Y’all believe anything you read, as long as it’s bad and about the democrats. 
 

First off, Transgender Visibility Day is on 3/31, every year. “Biden” didn’t proclaim anything. 
 

Secondly, Christians pick what day upon which Easter will fall based on astrology and some old calendar. Like witchcraft, almost. 
 

“The Eastern Christian churches still determine the Easter dates using the older Julian Calendar method. The usual statement, that Easter Day is the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs next after the vernal equinox, is not a precise statement of the actual ecclesiastical rules.”

A more accurate headline would read “Christians try to cancel LGBTQ day by picking that day to also celebrate Easter in 2024.”

Stop making people who think differently than you as boogeymen.  You realize that you won’t make it into heaven if you have hate in your heart towards any group, right?

May God have mercy on your soul. 

He is Risen, Alleluia!

Birds sweep!!  6-3 win in the finale.  

Has LU ever swept a series against a ranked opponent?  

Approximately 10 minutes until game time.  A sweep would be outstanding.  Tough task, but lace em up and play ball!

You 2 can tickle each other all you like.  😝  

I'm just here for the baseball.

I have noticed he only posts when Lamar is losing.

Not sure there has ever been a more negative poster in the history of this site.

Negative?  He's just pessimistic,  gloomy, and cynical.  That's all. Give em hell Uncle Spidey. 

I hope even Spidersal can laugh at this one. When Lamar is able to get out of a bad situation or gets a big hit, my father and I will often look at each other and say, "take that Spidersal"  then laugh at own ignorance.

Wait, this must be a mistake. No way this can be happening according to spidersal.

Uncle Spidey wants titles.  He doesn't have time for our foolishness!  

LU with a 13-8 win over OU. Go for the sweep of a ranked Big 12 team tomorrow!  

Cards knock off #25 Sooners 12-10. Ugly game with 6 combined errors. 

Winning streak comes to an end. Cards fall 6-4.  Left 11 runners on base as they out hit Houston.

OU next for a 3 game Easter weekend set starting on Thursday. 

Battle of my alma matters. LU vs. UH in just a few.  Nice to see the birds with 4 games in a row against Big 12 opponents. 

Birds sweep. 11-9 finale. Start conference 3-0 and now sit 19-4 on the season. 4 games against Big 12 next week. U of H for 1 game and a 3 game series at ranked OU.

You part of that fan base? 1-0 game two. Pitching continues to do well.

Back in Houston Tuesday for U of H.

I was present for today's games. 

LU takes game 1 with an 8-1 score. LU brought a pretty decent fan base to Houston today.  It appears they out number the HCU fans. 

Yes, they have played the bottom 3 teams in the present conference standings thus far. At present LU is 2 wins shy of last year's season total  and is 7-1 and sitting in first place. 

20'10 overall is a good record. Can they continue to win as they move forward in conference playing better teams?  

Let's play 2. LU and HCU had today's game postponed and will play a double header tomorrow starting at 11. 

9-3 over PV tonight. 

Travel to play the fighting Berkman's this weekend. All games in the series are day games with 2:00, 1:00, and 2:00 start times. This is the first conference series.  HCU pitching is quite suspect, but they do have quality offensive production.
