re: CWS Omaha: UCLA 2, LSU 1 - FINAL - Next Game: Tuesday @ 2pm vs. UNC

I hate choking.

What I saw tonight was why I didn't think we'd make it this far.

Frustrating.

frick and tomorrow's Monday. frick my life

nola deserved to win rest of his team deserved to lose.

that is the worst display of getting yourselves out I have ever seen.

And pretty boy rhymes is more worried about his pretty boy hair than playing baseball.

2-0 count and the closer cant throw a strike you take till he throws one. That is how you play baseball. you don't freaking swingf you take.

Rhymes choked all night.

so did manieri rhymes should have been bunting.
