Excuses have already started....

poor lil' LSU baseball team has the flu....and some of them can't play this weekend.

[Po Monkey Lounger]

I would say that MSU is now officially cursed for the weekend series v LSU, thanks in large part to the bad karma from GH 22.

[Greenhead22]

Nope, won't have anything to do with it.

Yup! Why say such a thing?

Can we get some LSU guys on here to tell us MSU fans what we can expect from their ball club. Should be an interesting series -- wish I could make it down!

Flu or no Flu, Alex Box Stadium is not the easiest place in the world to play.....2 out of 3 would be great.....

IO agree, I am very superctitious(sp) when it comes to baseball but I will say this they (LSU) did have several players sick last week. But if we can go take 2 down there I will be pleased, even though we usually play well down there it is still a tuff place to play

[Greenhead22]

I am more superstitious than all of you combined, and what I did will have nothing to do with what happens this weekend.

[duckkiller]

well I saw where Will Clark was at the box when they practiced yesterday and spoke to the team after practice I bet he had something good to talk about

[hillhunter]

well go on and drop the rankings.....#1 to #10 after this sweep....preciate it GH22, we'll know who to blame

[hillhunter]

of course what will be worse is if we do lose they get to say "We beat the #1 team and didn't even have all of our starters"......that will really make us look good

[Bourbon]

Just a little of what to expect from the Tigers is the unexpected. Fairly young team mixed with a couple of veterans. Dirks, the normal Friday night starter will not pitch tonight and Daniel Forrer will make his first SEC start. When the Tigers are on, we have a pretty good club, but are very streaky. Much more small ball than teams the past few years. Will make the spectacular and botch the easy. Should be a good weekend. I will probably be out there Saturday and Sunday. Good luck and here's to a good series.

GEAUX TIGERS!

We haven't won a series at LSU in 6 yrs so I don't think it really matters who did what. If we get swept we'll drop 2 spots like all the other teams that have been #1 this season, Texas had 10 losses and were still in the top 10.

well Bourbon I will take a small ball club over a hr club any day. I know a hr is great but the odds are very low that you will hit a hr at every at bat. All you got to do is put the ball in play. But no mater what there will be 2 good teams playing in Baton Gouge this weekend, I wish I could have gone but the cheapest hotel we could find was $145 a night, we found one for $85 a night but we swore a long time ago we would never stay in it again so it looks like I will be listening to jim ellis this weekend and going to T-town next weekend.


Hey bourbon why are they not starting Dirks tonight?

[Greenhead22]

Dirks is sick as a dog, may not pitch all weekend.

As for rooms, I can get y'all rooms in the $60-70 range a little over an hr from Baton Rouge.

[Deltamud77]

They are not starting Dirks because he has gotten rocked a few times this year. They are looking for a change of pace. I think State will take the game tonight and probably tomorrow. I think LSU wins on Sunday. I don't see State leaving BR undefeated, but I have been wrong many times before. Good luck to MSU but Geaux Tigers!!!
