[ruffles31]

This weekend’s baseball series with 8th ranked Florida State was a golden opportunity for the Pack9 to improve on their RPI of 69 and strengthen their

^ Elbow deep, fwiw.

Good on the Pack for yesterday’s win.

I’m not one for moral victories, but Pack went toe to toe w/ FSU and could easily have taken the series, even the sweep, with a couple of breaks falling differently.

To coin an MG favorite…this team ain’t very far away.

Went Friday, where an error unfortunately cost us a run, and the game. But great effort and pitching by the team, and when the bats finally woke up, Saturday, success. Congrats to the team, and also to the softball team for doing the same, winning the last game of the series. FSU is ranked 8th in baseball/softball nationally. So we are there, just have to get over the hump, with the one run game losses, we could have easily won the series. But just have to keep improving.

I’m not reading another baseball post unless it comes from Wuf, or DBP. Everyone else are rookies.
Me included.

[Gowolves]

Wow, I know you are throwing yourself under the bus too but don’t u think that’s a bit arrogant?

[Wufpacker]

One of our inter-pitch subjects of banter during the Friday game, both the real and the parody version…

Despite my conflict of interest in even commenting, I think I can safely and accurately dispel Dogs’ comments here as not being arrogant, but rather fiercely loyal, and I appreciate them as such.

Coupla things that I’ve wanted to address but wasn’t really sure how to go about it without attracting unwanted and undeserved attention (or sympathy) to myself…

1) Because of some heavy duty family stuff I have not recently been, and for a while longer at least will be unable to be, a particularly reliable ambassador for NCSU sports, baseball or otherwise. While I’ve been fortunate enough to attend the majority of games (my therapy time, truth be told), the rest of my free time has recently been dedicated to something more pressing, which appears on the verge of resolving itself fwiw.

2) I appreciate that others have had enough of an interest in general in NCSU hardball to kick in a thread here and there to take up my slackerz slack. The whole reason I started giving ink to NCSU baseball is because I love it as much or more than the big two….and I just want others to feel the same way.

3) Everyone likes being appreciated, so as I said above, I appreciate Dogs’ words more than I can say, and hope others will understand his motivations.

Bottom line…Wolfpack Baseball still has the chance for something special this year, so let’s all jump on the bandwagon early. M’kay?

2 parts arrogance, 1 part self-effacement.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that…WTF, Gowolves…

I freaking threw a fast ball, belt high, and ya act like someone just got dusted up and in.

There have been exactly 2 individual writers that have actually given a rat’s ass about threading baseball over the last 6-8 years. That they know what they are writing about matters,too.

I don’t particulary like seeing their work getting stepped on.

…but I am an arrogant SOB.

Wufpacker – hope the personal stuff works itself out.

[Wufpacker]

Thanks chop. It will 🙂

I’m not big on moral victories either, but it’s hard not to come away feeling like you did some really good things in that series. It always helps, though, when the 1 win in a series is the last one and especially when it comes with a bang. It’s a good thing it came with a bang, too, because FSU was starting to get a little bang of their own.

[Gowolves]

CD, just giving you a little crap. I understand where you are coming from and arrogance was maybe the wrong word. There are still some good people on this website that can provide some insight. Didn’t mean to ruffle the feathers just seemed like you trust no one. But your faith in the Dr. and Wufpacker are well placed but you know that.

[theghost]

it took me a couple of years on this site to find the button that showed only The CowDog’s posts. Greatly enhanced my experience.

[TheCOWDOG]

Ha. Why thank you, Ghost.
Just what the hat size ordered.

All good Gowolves, missed the sarcasm…And yes, their are many adroit posters in here, quite capable of carrying a baseball convo.

…But there are only 2 Red Barbers.

Everybody beisbol!
