WPS :razorback: +1 Pocono

[gumbohog]

Great job Hogs...gotta love the guts of Forrest and then Smyly...and Eibner bringing heat to close it out with a broken hand and a hammy.   :razorback:

[PoconoHog]

I was a little slow a couple of times on getting things posted...accidently hit the "post" button twice and kind of frooze things up for a moment....
It's been a lot of fun....hope Hogs can take care of business and continue on to Omaha..

[pigture perfect]

Great game tonight. Thanks for sharing. This is a fun thread with lots of good characters.

[Dropkick]

Lets go draw first blood in the desert

[Boardon Hamsay]

Thanks for the PBP!

WPS! 

Let's go soak up some dry heat!

Shag, maybe I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue but I think your avatar is thankfully a few seconds longer on the zipper. Either way, I've been watching it over and over and over again.

[PoconoHog]

Around the 8th inning....I checked and we had 900+ people following the thread...counting members and guests

[Dropkick]

Might as well have been drinking Mountain Dew.........i am all jacked up

[jbcarol]

Who had Hogs pitching staff holding this team to two runs tonite?

Great job by the Hogs.

[1967 Grad]

Pitching and defense were much better tonight. Good win. Well deserved.

OMG, I cannot believe it.  WTG HiM!!!! See, it doesn't hurt to say something positive about the Hogs. Go Hogs Go!!!!

Everyone knew you were back in the saddle tonight.

[PoconoHog]

I hope to be around for at least one game of the Super Regional's...I fly out to CT on Sunday morning....

Take care PH!

[Razorback7281]

Sat Sun Mon for our Super! Just checked NCAA.com

[Bluff Hog]

Just got back from the game. It was an awesome atmosphere tonight. Crowd was great. 

You could tell in the 1st inning after we strung together those 3 runs that this team meant business.

[CambridgeHog]

The schedule for the super (all times Central):

Game 1:
Arkansas v. Arizona State - Saturday @ 8:00 pm on ESPNU

Game 2:
Arizona State v. Arkansas - Sunday @ 9:00 pm on ESPN2

Game 3: (if necessary)
Arkansas v. Arizona State - Monday @ 6:00 pm on ESPN2

[pigture perfect]

To the WSU posters who made fun of us being fat and eating fried things on a stick, It will be our fat behinds going to Arizona and filling up those seats.

[chiefsfan]

Because im getting really good at these coincidences

Arkansas has won 4 regionals since the field expanded to 64.  All for Regionals had a team with the WSU moniker playing in them.    Out of those 4 wins.  The only time Arkansas did not face that team with the WSU moniker they went on to lose supers.    The other two times they beat the WSU team they have made Omaha

I hope to be around for at least one game of the Super Regional's...I fly out to CT on Sunday morning....

Have a good trip... and thanks for the excellent PBP. +1

Not chiefsfan, I like him.

and he is an Ark St. fan so guilty by association.

[omahawg#17]

Man, Washington State was freaking tough. Great way to prepare us for ASU. It's better to be lucky than good, hopefully we can pull it out.

[deshahawg]

What was the line. I just got on where I could see what happened?

[chiefsfan]

Watch it.  I have been known to flood inboxes on here with enough ASU material that it takes weeks to remove

[FraggleHog]

Just wanted to let y'all know that I was following the game the whole night. Had some work to take care of so I couldn't participate in the convo but great job on the pBp Pocono... It's always a pleasure to follow it. For the most part, convincing win by the Hogs. TJ, Smyly and Eibner all were studs. Congrats on Cox joining the Cards! Can't wait to see him in Busch Stadium with the STL on his cap. Go Hogs and we'll see ya'll in Tempe. Fraggle signing out.

[GuvHog]

I wonder if DVH has enough confidence in Forrest to start the pitchers this way against Arizona State:

Saturday :Smyly
Sunday: Forrest
Monday: Bolsinger or Eibner

Here lately, Forrest has been money in the bank!

I say switch Forrest and Bols wit Eibner coming in as relief  (if healthy enough)

[GuvHog]

Why would you do that? Bolsinger didn't do well at all as a starter Sunday night.

[TuckFexas]

Experience. Ability. Mike is the type of pitcher that can bounce back from that bad outing and throw a gem like he did @ Ole Miss a few weeks ago.

[FraggleHog]

I'm just sayin I feel better with Forrest starting the Monday game if Bols can't get it done on Sunday. Bolsinger has been streaky and hopefully he does well on Sunday, but if he doesn't, then I feel good about Forrest Monday.

totally agree with this....Bolsinger can beat anyone when he has his best stuff

[Wahls]

The only thing about Bolsinger is that his stuff looked awesome the other night (I made several comments on it) and his fastball was cutting super hard, but he wasn't hitting spots. He probably trotted out there with his B game and gave up 5 earned.

That scares me.

Go Hogs! Minimize the E's, bring out the big bats and I like our chances this weekend.

[Shag66]

WPS! 

I hear Omaha is nice this time of year!

Let's just go ahead and sweep ASU so we get a day off! 

[hawaiianhogster]

I'll miss the game live but I have the game recording on my DVR. Don't disappoint us Hogs. Pull out an upset win over the number one seed and team in the nation. WPS.

[PoconoHog]

I can help do the PBP tonight...but I won't be around to help Sunday or Monday (if necessary). Due to the possible concerns of "bad" karma for not having consistency....do I not get involved with the PBP tonight and let someone who is available for all the games do it?

[jbcarol]

Do it tonite PH.

[jbcarol]

Smyly can take us home.

[PigWig]

Smyly can take us home.

Lol my thoughts exactly.

[Hogtropolis™]

Go ahead and pbp tonight pocono. I think chiefsfan told me he can take it tomorrow and Monday (if necessary).

[capehog]

Hope everyone is enjoying their pregame meal, has the favorite beverage ready, packed the wife, kids, gf, dog, cat and anyone else off to The WalMart, Macys, Dillards, or any other place to keep them out of the way for the next 3 hours.

Go Hogs Beat Devils

[PoconoHog]

Pre-game has started....

[capehog]

POCO you all warmed - up got your typing shoes on and ready to call another VICTORY?

[TuckFexas]

The 2010 National Title run begins tonight. Shut 'em down and shut 'em up Bolsinger. Open up a can of whoop ass Zack, Brett, Andy, et al. Apparently several devoted Hog fans made the trip out there with you guys, I hope to hear the Hog Call over and over again tonight. Make us proud!! WPS!!

[capehog]

Hope we see them ASU girls in tight low cut tank tops too.
