i pray that i am seriously wrong though.

No, I knew they'd bring him in early. He can go 4-5 innings. Remember, OSU did it last year. Carignan is Carolina's best pitcher right now. If he can stop the bleeding, let Carolina score a few runs, then hopefully someone will step up at the end of the game (maybe FedEx since he's not hitting worth a crap).

How many times is Mike Fox going to be called John Fox?

True being that he hasn't pitched in a couple of days.

[SuperJon]

In a game like this you throw your best possible pitcher as soon as you can, regardless of his normal position. You don't save anybody. You throw who you need to and save nothing for tomorrow because, well, unless you win, there's no tomorrow.

[Fumblerooskies]

OK...time for Fedrovich... to step up.

[Fumblerooskies]

OK...time for Fedrof to step up.

[SuperJon]

Ackley came up and I was like, "Alright kid, I've seen you do this since 7th grade, jack a double off the wall."


FedEx friggin hit into what should've been a double play.


And Fedroff struck out. Great.

Way to not hit with RISP yet again.

[Fumblerooskies]

To change the topic from the game...Barry Larkin has done a very good job on this...has gotten more comfortable. They need to add him to Baseball Tonite.

[SuperJon]

Bases loaded no one out and Carolina gets one run.


Hit the friggin ball. You're one of the top offensive teams in the country. Play like it.



Larkin is doing better than Patrick.

[SuperJon]

I hate that my favorite player (Carignan) is one of two guys not from NC that have a significant role.

[SuperJon]

Hey, another leadoff hitter gets on.


I bet he doesn't score.

[Fumblerooskies]

I bet he doesn't score.

We should call that "getting SuperJon'd..."

[SuperJon]

It's the truth.

Wow, that was a little off.

Still, how do you look at a fastball that close?

Then again, if you swing through two 89 mph fastballs right down the middle of the plate, maybe you deserve to strikeout.


I'm not bitter.

[SuperJon]

Oh my frickin Gord.

How do you stare at a fastball right down the plate? Swing the bat.

After all the hatin' on Barry earlier in the week, I'm glad to see one of my all-time favorite players get some love.

[SuperJon]

He's still saying the same thing a lot over and over but he's getting better. I never said anything bad about him earlier in the week.

I actually like the way him and Orel are working off each other.

[Fumblerooskies]

After all the hatin' on Barry earlier in the week, I'm glad to see one of my all-time favorite players get some love.

I was very under-whelmed at first...but he is actually very good. He would be better on BBTN than any of the other guys they've brought in to try to replace HR.

[SuperJon]

Dusty friggin Ackley.


Stokes County's own.

Hey, if he gets up two more times, we could have a tie game.

No one else is doing anything.

[SuperJon]

Ok, Mike Patrick officially blows. He keeps saying the wrong players are in the field, can't get Mike Fox's name right, and is calling a horrible game. He has all week.

[PAmedic]

wow - what a play at the plate- that oughta put the nail in the coffin for UNC

[SuperJon]

I stopped watching.


I turned it to the Tigers game to see a Carolina alum actually play good.

[JDUB]

well, i'll help ya out. there losing

[thesportscritic]

this game can't end quick enough.
