[PhatMack19]

I'm going to take FSU and Mike Martin getting his 1st CWS title in his 15th apperance in Omaha.  It has to happen eventually, right?

Back to Back defending Champs are hard to pick against.  Tough opening matchup with #1 overall seed Florida, but there are no easy games in Omaha.  I can't wait for Saturday!

After the beat down they put on a good Cardinal team. Gotta go with the 'Noles.

I think I will have to go with the Florida Gators....would love to see Stoney Brook pull it off.

[shovel]

My head tells me Florida, my gut says UCLA. My heart goes with Stoney Brook. After watching that incredible series against LSU, you gotta pull for these guys!

[Monkeynuts]

Arizona- on a hot streak right now- hope Stoney Brook wins though- if they won it all it would be upset story of the year- go seawolves

[/quote]Thats who I want to win...But I think the gators will be hard to beat

[falcolnfanatic]

Imo Florida is definitely the most talented team in Omaha( Just like they were last year) so they are the favorite. My dark horse is Arizona, they play solid fundamental baseball and have a very good defense. I don't know if Arizona has enough pitching depth to win the whole thing tho. With that said I will definitely be routing for Stoney Brook this week. They are just to good a story to rout against.

They put a whoopin on the Florida team they played!  Lol

[PhatMack19]

South Carolina leads Florida 7-3 in the 9th.  Looks like SC will extend their CWS win streak to 12 games.

[PhatMack19]

#1 seed Florida is 2 & out.  Kent St holds on to a nice 5-4 win

[PhatMack19]

Arkansas beats South Carolina to move to 2-0 and end SC's long win streak.



SC will now take on Kent St. in an elimination game.

South Carolina beat Arkansas twice and will now move on to play Arizona in a 3 game series for the national title.  They postseason run they are on for the last few years has been pretty amazing.

The CWS is my favorite sporting event of the year.  My wife and kids laugh at me, but I try to block off the whole time and watch as many games as possible.  This year has been especially good, and this finals has been a blast to watch.  Two very good teams, and excellent baseball being played on both sides.  I don't think people appreciate defensive struggles, but these have really been worth watching.

I am with you all the way...CWS is a true classic. As you stated, two very good teams in the finals this year with excellent pitching and defense.
If you have never attended the CWS, you should go.

Tried talking our kids into playing our world series in Omaha this year.  I was met with a whole host of "No's!"  They all said they didn't want to go where there was nothing but cornfields.  I'll talk my wife into it eventually.

Much more than cornfields during the CWS  ;)...I can't wait to see the new venue. Stay in Council Bluffs if you make it.

[Monkeynuts]

Somebody tried to warn you guys about that hot Arizona club - just can't think of who it was. ;)
