The Devils are looking strong and making a strong bid for the #1 ranking in the nation!

You can have the #1 ranking, speaking just for myself, you understand :D I rather have that ranking at the end of the season after proving that the Noles are worthy of it. Not that the loss yesterday was unworthy, cause we were down 8-0 in the 3rd inning, I do believe. To be able to come back to a 9-8 ending was pretty darn good especially since it was in hostile territory (Gainesville). But we ended our new win streak and you haven't. We start conference play this weekend (7/14) with Virginia coming to Tallahassee. We do play Tuesday and Wednesday - I don't remember who right now, but they're not ranked.

I bookmarked your schedule so I can try and keep up with who you play and when. You've got some pretty tough opponents coming up. Best of Luck to the SunDevils!!!

Devils are #1 and #2 depending on what poll your looking at, Im glad their #1 in one poll but not all, I expect some more shuffling in the top 5 as the season progresses, I too hope my team peaks down the stretch! The Florida Series was very tight, all the games seemed close!

They seem to be making too many errors... like on Sunday, Stephen "Dirt" Drew, JD Drew's (St. Louis Cardinals) youngest brother, charged the ball and it went right between his legs. Our 3rd baseman, Eddie Esteve-Martinez, freshman, had an error too. I forget what happened to him. Now I can understand Eddie making an error; he had never played at 3rd base in high school. Oh, I remember what he did, he threw the ball too high and made Jerrod Brown, 1st baseman, come off the plate and the runner was safe. They were making errors against weak teams, and I thought to myself... you can't play like that against teams like Florida and Miami.

We play St. Joseph's tonight and tomorrow evening at 6pm.

I'm going to go check Boyd's RPIs, etc. They had predicted that Wake, UNC and Clemson to be the top teams in the ACC. Why, I don't know :rolleyes: cause they're not doing as good as we are... :D

Some tourney projections have ASU playing St Joes in the first round in hoops!

Lord, help this old lady... I got Eddie last name wrong :rolleyes: it's Martinez-Esteve or Eddie ME as we call him.

Also I told you about a pitcher of ours... Marc LaMacchia... he's out for the rest of the year cause he has to have Tommy John surgery :frown:

The Noles are playing Virginia this weekend in Tallahassee. Bottom of the 1st inning, bases loaded and Chris Hart hits a grand slam homerun :D and Eddie comes up next and he hits a homerun, so it's 5-0 after the 1st inning.
