re: Why is nothing ever good enough for LSU fans?

The LSU Tiger Baseball program has won 6 National titles in a 23 year span. Take USCw out of the equation and this program is tied with the most NC's in college baseball history (Div.1).

In a CWS setting, you have eight teams who are all playing good baseball. If the CWS could be played 100 times during a given season, each of the eight teams would probably end up winning at least one national title. Baseball is a game of inches and percentages. An error here or there, a misplayed fly ball or a pitch covering too much of the plate makes all of the difference in the world. Unfortunately, the Tigers' bats came up short.

The pitching only gave up 6 runs in two games. Not all runs were earned. Hats off the Aaron Nola for his fine perfcrmance on Sunday. The loss stings but the experience of being in Omaha will be a plus for this program going forward.

Baseball giants sometime win the crown and sometimes they don't. A Warren Morris pop up to 2nd base, and Miami wins the title in 96. An unbeliveable comeback against Stanford in 2000. A Ben McDonald pitch to Paul Carrey in 87. We are very fortunate to have won 6 NC's. Baseball games are not always fair. MSU may win the NC just because of the bracket they are playing in.

Look at Vanderbilt. They did not even go to Omaha. Certainly they were better than Mississippit State. LSU beat MSU two out of three games. But it doesn't matter because it all evens out over 25 or 30 years of consistency.

Can't put this on Coach Maineri. Sometimes shite does happen. But understand we had more good Karma than bad and this program will rise up to win another NC soon. Just not this year. Sometimes the best doesn't come through..but it is very much like life itself. Next year is a new year.
