I have refundable flights for the final series booked on Southwest points to go with some buddies "just in case" but not sure if it will work out as the kiddos have VBS that week and my wife and I have an anniversary trip to Antigua to leave on that Friday...wife isn't too thrilled with the idea of me flying home Thursday just in time for a 6:30am flight Friday morning...

The Gators would be a 1000% lock to win the NCAA championship if it rained Monday and Tuesday so Faedo could pitch on Wednesday.....then 2 or 3 more days of rain so Faedo could also pitch game 2. That guy has very nasty big league 'stuff'.

It was tough but I decided to cancel my flights to and from Omaha. Too much going on this week with the kiddos, work, and leaving for vacation on Friday. Enjoyed Game 1 last night. It was a must win for us with our #2 pitcher Singer going against their bullpen basically. One win away to our first-ever baseball title!
However Games 2 & 3 will favor LSU as they can now pitch their #2 pitcher Poche in Game 2 and their #1 pitcher Lange in Game 3 meanwhile our #1 and #2 pitchers are likely done unless #1 Faedo can pitch on short rest in relief in Game #3.

That guy has very nasty big league 'stuff'. Faedo had an amazing three-year career. Great Gator. First round pick as a junior to the Detroit Tigers and if we've seen the last of him, what a way to go out with two shutout wins vs TCU in the CWS to get us to the finals. I'm hoping if the series goes to Game 3, he could pitch a few innings on three days rest if needed. Our #2 this year Brady Singer who won Game 1 last night is fantastic as well. He also won both of his CWS starts against Lville and now LSU. He's only a sophomore so we have one more year with him but he will likely be a 1st Round MLB Pick next year.

That Singer is something...looks like a 15 year old pencil necked geek but what a pitcher. A day or two of rain ( if LSU wins tonight) wins the CWS for you.....and then, GG, the Gators will have tied Holy Cross in NCAA baseball championships !! It might happen (40% chance for Wednesday, 100% for Thursday )
