Shocks vs Bears - Game 1

[SekShocker]

Maybe they should take some of the frills that this team now enjoys with the stadium and all the sun glasses and stuff and make them earn stuff, make them learn to focus or they have to do field work, not that there is anything to do, but make them vacuum the damn carpet with a freaking Hoover, something to get them focused and in the freaking game for 9 innings.

Grimes draws the first walk by the SWOMO starting pitcher to start the 8th. Hall coming to bat. (Hall has already struck out twice tonight).

[shox1989]

Hall picks up the hat trick. Grimes still on first, one out.

[SB Shock]

you can't sugar coat - this is a program that is a shell of itself. They are not getting the quality of players, and the players they have show no development.

Gene retired when he returned from OU.

[shox1989]

OB gets a hit to improve his batting average on the season to .402.

Grimes moves to third, OB on first.

[SekShocker]

Just give away at bat after at bat.

[shox1989]

Preston hits the ball back to the mound, Grimes scores from third.

2 outs. 8-1. Coy coming to bat.

Makes you wonder why he is still coaching.1989 was a long time ago and 1996 is getting left farther back in the rear view every day.I know we can't take away what he has done in the past but I see no hunger in this program anymore.

[shox1989]

Coy hits a double. OB scores from second. Now 8-2.

That is a little harsh. WSU has been to two super regionals AFTER Gene returned from OU.

[shox1989]

Justin Kemp coming in to pitch for WSU.

[shox1989]

Grimes makes a perfect relay throw to get the first batter out after he tried to stretch a double to a triple.

1 out.

[1972Shocker]

Gene retired when he returned from OU.

Perhaps so. I have always thought Gene has earned the right to exit on his timetable. This is the program that Gene built, but his legacy is become more and more tarnished as time passes.

The entire program seems to be operating under a sense of entitlement and taking things for granted.

Very frustrating but hard to see things improving anytime soon.

[tru2thaduce]

Ok,here we go.Let's get at least 7 runs here!

[shox1989]

Shox get the lead runner on a double play ball. 2 outs.
