Tiger bait or Dog treats . . .
How do you see the Mississippi State-LSU series unfolding this weekend?
A. State sweeps
B. LSU sweeps
C. Bulldogs win two
D. Tigers win two
MSU coach Ron Polk will stick with his rotation of Chad Crosswhite, Ricky Bowen and Justin Pigott.
As for the series, LSU will bid farewell to Alex Box Stadium on Sunday with the series finale. The Tigers will move into the new Box for the start of the 2009 season. And in case you didn’t read the above story, Polk will be a part of the farewell ceremony tonight for old Box. To see how, you’ve gotta read the story.
In preparation for the advance and a Sunday piece on Ron Polk, I spoke with Skip Bertman and Ben McDonald. I really enjoyed talking to both and I didn’t realize just how close Ben was to signing with MSU.
As for me, it’s back to normal. I’ve been called out of the bullpen to assist in prep coverage this week with tennis and golf, while also working on Gum Tree 10K stories. Crazy week, I tell ya, but I apologize for neglecting this blog the last few days.

And you’re forgiven, GG.

I did not realize that Polk had a winning record down there.
May 9, 2008 at 9:15 am
Draws, don’t know the specifics of Saturday’s ordeal, but as soon as I know something, I’ll let you all know.

As bad as we are this year, we still haven’t been swept. That being said we’ll probably get swept this weekend.
May 9, 2008 at 9:24 am
Cool, I’ll be there for the entire series. Where is your press box at? I’m sitting right below JE on the last row.
May 9, 2008 at 9:27 am
State has been swept twice this year.
May 9, 2008 at 9:30 am
yep, SC and Vandy.
May 9, 2008 at 9:33 am
Sorry draws I was correcting theconquistador. Wasn’t trying to offend you.
May 9, 2008 at 9:35 am
You didn’t.
May 9, 2008 at 9:36 am
Just making sure
May 9, 2008 at 11:04 am
I completely forgot about SC and Vandy. What was I thinking? I guess my mind is already beginning to block this season out.
May 9, 2008 at 12:00 pm
That means they are getting swept in 25% of the SEC series’ this year.
May 9, 2008 at 12:27 pm
He forgot about that 25%.
May 9, 2008 at 12:31 pm
I can understand forgettin like 10 % or 15% but 25%
May 9, 2008 at 1:11 pm
I really don’t know how I forgot. I’ve even got a schedule in my office with W’s and L’s besides each game. Oh well. Not that it matters.
May 9, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Instead of making predictions like I always do for the bball team, I’ll just say we continue to suck, but a series win would be nice
May 9, 2008 at 4:18 pm
B. A series win would be nice but at this point I don’t even care.
Kinda more interested to see if Tupelo can pull out 2 wins against Clinton. My last game to pitch in high school was losing to them in the finals at home 1-0. I know Enis remembers it since he was catching.

B.
B.
Did I say, B? Yes,B
May 9, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Conquistador, I guess you can say, that’s baseball.
May 9, 2008 at 9:54 pm
should have had a E..
Who cares anymore.
I’m no rocket surgeon but when you face 16 batters in an inning, give up 11 hits, and 9 earned runs, why not let the kid go as long as he possibly can. The fact he is even starting is bad enough.
Can someone tell me if this coaching staff is actually awake during the games.
LSU will sweep this team.
May 9, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Jim just said that Coach Polk’s festivities will be the Saturday game with many former players in attendence. Abt 2:45pm…
Despite my dim outlook on the Dawgs play this season and the LSU series this weekend, I am proud to be a Diamond Dawg fan and supporter since ‘84! And will be @ Dudy Noble nx wknd.
May 9, 2008 at 10:49 pm
I hear you nashdawg..
as bad as this season as been and I truly want it to end, I have kept up with every game this season. Living in Texas it is hard to get over to Starkville that often to catch a series so thank goodness for Stattracker, though the stats have not been pretty this year.
May 9, 2008 at 11:08 pm
D, if we get lucky
And, Gregg, how about “Tiger Bait or Dawg Meat” instead.
Dog treats? I have never heard anyone chant “dog treats” at the opposing team. How lame would that be!?
May 9, 2008 at 11:14 pm
At least Polk wasn’t chunked.
May 10, 2008 at 6:54 am
Draws, there are still two games left.
May 12, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Hey conquistador the sweep percentage went up to 33%
