If you saw last night's fantastic 11-inning game, you saw how evenly matched these two teams are. If you didn't and you like nail biting, edge-of-your-seat baseball, you missed one of the best you'll ever see in that genre. The teams reversed roles last night. Texas brought the power in the form of 5 home runs. LSU's much-maligned (In every analysis I saw) bullpen pitched 5 innings of scoreless relief. Texas Coach Garido said the other day, "But if it's about drama, we've got that.". The Tigers have it, too, but they need to win another one. Garido is quite quotable. He has the QOTD. Not sure what "the wrath of baseball" is but I like the turn of phrase. Again, Good Luck to the Horns, Kim. :)

Quote of the Day
It was two teams that were doing unbelievable things in an effort to win. The team that lost that game was gonna feel the wrath of baseball and have to deal with the difficulties of so many great things happening that there had to be a loser.

Quote from said blog: "Texas looked like the better team for much of the night, taking a 6-4 lead into the top of the 9th.
That game was as good as it gets. It was hard not to win it after that, though. Good luck to the Tigers, again, Rob!
Texas gave a great effort last night. One game for all of it now.
