You obviously weren't watching/listening to the game, I was. LSU was up 5-1 in the top of the 4th (making it 22-2 for the weekend). The Miss State crowd had done nothing except for boo when Cohen got in the umpires face after a State pitcher threw at Nola for calling time. The State team had no energy, the crowd was sitting on their hands, and then....

Javi Sanchez sent a runner into a dead out instead of letting Mikie Mahtook bat with 2 runners on base. Even if they walk Mikie, Nola would have come up with the bases loaded after he doubled in his first at bat (great at bat after getting thrown at). That was two runners out at home on back to back batters and all of the sudden the State crowd was on their feet and cheering befoe the Dawgs even had a single runner on base. The top of the 5th ended when Sanchez didn't stop Watkins from running into the 3rd out at 3B with Mason Katz coming up to the plate with two runners on.

Javi Sanchez snatched momentum from LSU and gave it to Miss State while getting the crowd into the game.

Coach PM is 100% at fault in my opinion

2009 is over,Coach. This isn't "Groundhog Day".

The commentators for Thursday's game seemed to think LSU is a very talented team and were baffled by their conference record.

Oh-Noz. The crowd was cheering?

I hope we never have to face that type of obstacle again. Damn Javi for giving the Miss State fans something to cheer for.


Everybody knows that a 4 run lead is never safe when the crowd is cheering. I mean we could have hit the ball a little better in the later innings, cut out the fielding errors, and struck out a couple of more batters in the 9th...but how can you do that when the crowd is cheering? Impossible I say!
