More drama than necessary, but a pick off at second, gets the win, and the sweep!

3 outs, whew!

Okay, 2 outs now.

The salary difference between a 3rd round pick and a 5th round pick in the NFL is significant. The 3rd round pick can sign a deal worth around $6 million, while the 5th round pick can sign a deal worth more than $4 million but less than $5 million. This reflects the NFL's salary structure, where the value of contracts decreases with each selection.1

2025 college baseball hitter rankings: The best hitters in the game - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Who are the best hitters in college baseball? Kiley McDaniel breaks it down.

Mutts go up 2-0 in the 1st, there happy. No sweat for OBD. They tie it up, then go ahead, 4-2. But 2 homers for UW ties it up. Wow, this must have really got frustrating for the Nutts, Walsh, Oregon's career leader in home runs blasts one to get the lead back, then Neville, with the shift on, gets another, and that was it. A great defensive play by Walsh, which is getting to be an every game thing is almost disallowed, a great at bat for Malony, starts out 0-2, but with a mix of 5 foul offs and 4 balls, gets a walk. Yep, never gets old beating the Huskies!

So many things, Gat. Belichick. I still think he wants to get back to the NFL, leave UNC to his kid, so he can "win without Brady" and break Shula's record. Deion and Colorado, I don't know about "changing forever", they improved to 2nd in the B12. Cal & Stanford in the ACc describes college football perfectly. I used to always cheer for Michigan when they played osu2. And Washington fans feel the same way about James. I don't know who's on top at osu2, Woody, or Urban. Everything points to Oregon winning a Natty, there isn't anything else OBD can do!

An ERA is a very faulty gauge for performance as one bad inning, or a 1/3 of an inning will produce a huge number, and has been mentioned before, baseball is tough. A really good hitter will go out 7 out of 10 times. Nolan Ryan is a Hall of Fame pitcher, the leader in career strikeouts, but only won 53% of his games. Willie Mays started his first season going 0-21. Figure out baseball" Wee Willie Keeler said it best, "Hit it where they ain't"

Unfortunately, with the NFL being a money machine, imitation won't just be flattery, with income counting more than anything, NFL-lite is coming. We scoff at Washington's split championship, "but those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end"

I still don't understand BB to UNC? Cal and Stanford in the ACC? Why not. Is Nebraska ever going to a contender again? I don't see it. SMU? Cam Ward? From Incarnate Word to WSU to The U, and now to a really bad Tennessee team with a new coach. Meanwhile, USC & UCLA are doing okay in the B1G, UW is chasing its tail, Oregon is winning championships,

Game summary at the end of the thread! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sit, Washington, sit.

Yes, Grinsell will be fine, Husky pitcher is undefeated in B1G. Need to get some runs, however they come, this time. Scoring position is the red zone, have to Just do it, Ducks. Besides the Uskies are an Addidas school.

It takes a lot, but I'm actually being entertained by the NBA Playoffs, particularly the Knicks-Celtics series. The Celtics are going for a repeat and are the No.1 seed, the Knicks are No.6. But the Knicks are up 2-0, thanks to sweeping the first two games at Boston. Both games the Knicks were behind, by a lot. They won game 1 in OT 108-105, game 2 by 1 point, 91-90. Now the series switches to Madison Square Garden. Is the pressure all on Boston? You'd think. But it might be on the Knicks. Boston loves the 3. But so far, they're 25/100, 28/100, they might be up 2-0. If the Knicks win game 3, I think it's over. But what if the Celtics win? In the other Eastern series Indiana is up 2 on the Cavaliers, The Pacers won game 2, despite being down by 7 points with :35 left. In the West, Denver won game 1 in OKC, 121-119. But OKC won game 2, 149-106. Golden State and Minnesota are 1-1. Steph Curry is out for now with a hamstring.

If ever an award should have been unanimous, it's this one.

I don't know if Michigan helped themselves by being swept , Run Ruled in game 3 by Oregon during the season. Grein was off the last series of the season, Sokolsky came in, wrapped it up. Sokolsky got the start against Michigan, didn't have it, Grein came in, still doesn't have it back. Hopefully both will have it next week.

Conference championship games need to be abolished. Talk about devaluing a season? The NBA has trouble getting people to watch until the Playoffs, so they even have a ridiculous Tournament during the season! Of course they also have a Play-in round. But it makes some sense because it lets teams at the bottom crawl in to the Playoffs, but it does not make them a champion!

Notre Dame will continue to be the albatross but quelling the ACC & B12 is good.

Final Game summary at the end of the thread! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you know, I have a special dark place in my heart for the Bastard-Huskies, and even sweeping them would not be enough. They are 27-22 compared to Oregon's 35-13, and they are 15-9 in B1G play, nipping at the Ducks' heels of 16-8 in conference action. SIDEARM Integrations GODUCKS.COM First pitch on Friday is at 6:05 p.m. with Saturday's first pitch at 2:05 p.m. and Sunday's at 12:05 p.m.

Looks like all of those will be accomplished by winning.

Michigan got everything right, Oregon got everything wrong.

It would definitely help the Ducks' SOS if Beavis won, not sure if it would have a demoralizing effect on Iowa...it could fire them up! Clearly, less than 2 of 3 against the Mutts is unacceptable, and if UCLA were to lose a couple, that would be fine.

Just what we want to see in a mid-week series. Now, get ready for the purple puppies!
