I was introduced to Long Beach State baseball in 2002 when my nephew, Neil Jamison, joined the team (and university) as a freshman. I started the blog in March of 2004, and generally discuss the team, current players and those that have moved on to professional baseball - as Neil has done in the San Diego Padres organization. Living in San Diego County, and with Neil moving to the next level, I won't be attending as many Dirtbags games. But, mostly from a distance, I'll remain a Dirtbags fan. I welcome tips on stories and information concerning the Dirtbags (current, past and future). I can be contacted at dirtbagsfan@yahoo.com.

Dirtbags Pitching Staff Best in College Baseball  The impact of Jered Weaver cannot be discounted. What he is accomplishing is simply unbelievable. But as the Los Angeles Times notes today, the Dirtbags are Deeeeeeep in pitching. Here are few excerpts from the article: "...Jered Weaver has brought the 49ers national attention with his dominance on the mound. But their star is only the front man for an impressive pitching staff that could carry the nation's fifth-ranked team to its first College World Series berth in six years.... ...The sight of a brilliant performance by a Long Beach pitcher is becoming routine. Behind the starting trio of Weaver, [Jason] Vargas and Cesar Ramos, the 49ers (26-9, 6-0 in the Big West Conference) have lowered their earned-run average to 2.37, the best mark in college baseball... Weaver has been the nation's best pitcher, putting together a season reminiscent of Mark Prior's junior season at USC three years ago. The potential No. 1 pick in the June amateur draft has won all 11 starts and compiled a 1.00 ERA with 118 strikeouts and 11 walks. Ramos has been no less impressive. A sixth-round draft choice by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays out of high school, the sophomore left-hander improved to 7-2 with a 2.00 ERA after going 8 1/3 innings in Saturday's 4-2 win. Vargas, a junior-college transfer, evened his record at 5-5 and has two traits valued by pro scouts — he's left-handed and throws a 92-mph fastball. Brian Anderson and Neil Jamison are hard-throwing junior relievers who could be drafted in the first few rounds. Anderson hasn't given up a run in 17 innings, and Jamison (1.59 ERA) got his 10th save Sunday after left fielder John Bowker made a diving catch of Mark Wagner's line drive with the bases loaded in the ninth."
