re: Baseball Game With ULL Where Fights Broke Out...

lsu #1 seed
ull #2
tulame #3
southern with rickie weeks #4 - we beat southern 5-4 when weeks is throwed out at third trying to take an extra base & the runner ahead of him slows to pick up a bat. the ump said that weeks was called out before he crossed the plate.
ull beats us 5-0, we beat tulame 4-2.
sat near the ull ad, & they said that they needed to sweep us or they were in trouble, as they had no pitching to go another game with us
the ump said after the game, that the lsu player with the bat was thrown out to restore order & if he had known that he could not play the final game , hwe would not have done it.
the ull head coach was not the coach that took offense to the lsu batter's looking @ them rounding thirs, it was the current coach at latech.
his comments on the radio caused him to loose the job, he wanted, @ slu. bertman put pressure on slu to hire his pitching coach & that is another story

here is what happened.

Someone from ULL's team was good friends with Wally. some of the other ULL players got Wally's phone number out of that guys phone, and spent the days leading up to that game crank calling Wally. Skip said something to their coach before the game about it, and things escelated from there

I do remember the ULL fgt players with the bleached hair in the stands rooting against LSU in Omaha.

2000 team so underrated, perhaps my favorite of them all. That was a fun CWS.

i loved how the one pitcher was so shook up he kept throwing the ball to the backstop in the air. talk about not being able to handle the moment.

It was a game that I heard on the radio 10 freaking years ago. Isn't there something in your life where you can only vaguely recall what happened?!

Exactly...good grief.

That's older brother in that picture sliding into second. He and Rocky are best friends. I was at that regional, remember there being more fights in the stands than anything else...

So when our pitcher beaned the SB player this past weekend because they tried to steal 2nd base with a 7-2 lead, that was O.K?

Why the frick aren't you screaming that Mainieri should have been thrown out? It's the same thing, but obviously you don't see it because of your purple and gold shades.

In that series, ULL came in as the 2 seed really believing they could win. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm sure Tulane and Southern felt they could win also. When Health turned to ULL's dugout while rounding 3rd, ULL responded. Just like LSU responded this past weekend. It's baseball. But obviously you don't get it. All you see is a school not bowing down to the big bad LSU tigers...taking their medicine, getting their arse kicked, shutting their mouth, and crawling home.

How dare ANY school come into Alex Box or Tiger Stadium and think they can win???

---

The big difference you and your previous Cajun buddy are missing is that Robichaux's comments indicated to me he approved of the bean. I am unaware of any similar comments made by Mainieri. So it's really not the same thing at all.

And who the frick said anything at all about bowing down to the big bad Tigers, and how dare any school come in thinking they can win? You might wanna double your meds 'cause they're not working now, LoyalTiger.

So you really think Mainieri didn't approve the beaning ahead of time, because he didn't publicly admit it? Quit being so naive. It's the same thing.

The difference is that CPM went to the mound and pulled his pitcher. It was a clear public sign that he did not approve even though privately he may have felt different.
