vs. RAYS, 9/15

[Dark Helmet]

Well Pedro certainly isn't playing LF so Kim is probably in the game regardless as a defensive replacement.

Probably put Flaherty in the OF.

Hopefully the series trend continues after we lose the opener.

Yes I am.He's replaced Flaherty as my whipping boy this year.Flaherty doesnt play enough.

Flash can't bat - although he is a wonderful defender at multiple positions

I also know a guy that works for the O's. He says Ryan is one of the nicest / biggest tippers on the entire team

I've been a lifelong Tar heels basketball fan since I was in 3rd grade (1973-74) because they were Thompson's rivals when he was a junior at State.

Thompson was unbelievable in both college and the pros.

He could guard centers if he had to, because he could jump so high.

Also ...... the legend about Thompson taking a quarter off of the top of the backboard IS true.

What IS NOT true is that he left 2 dimes and a nickel change on the top of the backboard in the process of doing so.

Oklahoma University had a guy in the 80's that could take a coin off the top of the backboard and dunk it.

We shoulda started Drake

Does anyone know if there exists a stat with the number of innings a team scores in a given year? It'd be interesting to see if the O's are there.

I heard that quarter tale when he was on the junior varsity. I have no idea which neighborhood kid told me that, but the anticipation for him coming to the varsity was intense. When they won the NCAA Tournament in '74, we went to see the team when they returned and it was my first taste of pandemonium. I had to crawl under a guy's leg to look between two bars of a balcony overhang to even get a glimpse.

I did get to see his last home game at Reynolds Coliseum. His final home basket with the Wolfpack was disallowed as it was a dunk and he was called for a technical (those being the days when the dunk was not allowed - hard to fathom now).

Good outing by Drake.

OK yeah, that's a pain with that pop up box.

To go old school, you can put: and it should work.

I don't see us getting 3 runs. But still nice to see some solid pitching from Drake. Atleast were still only a game out and up in the WC even with a loss.

The dunk was not allowed?

I have followed college basketball since the 1960's

Pretty sure it was with the entry of Alcindor at UCLA. Not sure when it was brought back, early 80s? Trying to remember to Jordan's years at UNC. Probably by then, early 80s.

And I meant to add in reply to OFFNY that from the 50s to the 70s (the Everett Case and Norm Sloan eras), NC State was UNC's main rival. Duke emerged in the late Bill Foster years with Gene Banks, Giminksi and Spanarkel, but the intense rivalry was Pack vs. Heels. Coach K really was the one that brought Duke all the way back from their early 60s glory.
