When I think of the FSU baseball games I watched last weekend, the only thing I can think to say is, “Thank God I went to the women’s softball doubleheader on Saturday.” The great job done by the Lady ‘Noles over the weekend, was the only fun thing I was able to watch, thanks to the Seminole baseball team’s lack of enthusiasm and experience. How on earth can the ‘Noles be playing this badly? Congratulations to Georgia Tech on making history and sweeping the ‘Noles at home, but seriously how much of an accomplishment is it?’,'Friday night’s drubbing was sad. The best ball I saw played on Saturday occurred between 12pm and 5pm at the Softball Complex. To be honest I think we need to suit the girl up to play the rest of the baseball schedule. I’d like to see some of the guys try to hit van der Linden on the softball field. Speaking of her, there’s nothing better than a pitcher that is willing to throw inside and van der Linden certainly is not afraid. Congrats to her on being ACC player of the week (again).

Saturday, baseball was only salvaged by non-baseball things. Tallahassee’s Best Sports Deli served up some great burritos and an entertaining game of horseshoes thanks to some FSU Rugby players. I also enjoyed a nice cardiac basket with some friends post-game at the 4th Quarter. Congrats to DeCarlo Thomspon though, he did a great job in the last two innings of the game. Maybe next time Mike Martin won’t send the poor kid out the bullpen in the 1st inning and then not let him in the game until the 7th.

Sunday’s game was close (7-6). Sunday’s game also featured an hour delay in the 9th inning. Sunday was really hot. All of that equates to an early exit and finishing up the game in the car on the way home. I figured it couldn’t hurt to leave, I obviously wasn’t helping any!

My only suggestion for the rest of the season; if you want to see some quality ball played, check out the Seminole softball team.
