Welcome

Welcome to Dirtbags Baseball blog! 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.

ESPN: Stanford Presumptive Winners Of Regional...Huh???

From the Long Beach Press-Telegram yesterday:

"What's new?" was the prevailing theme Monday for Long Beach State's Dirtbags once they learned they'd be heading to Stanford for the fourth year in a row to launch this season's postseason drive to the College World Series.

And a close second was "Oh, yeah?'

That was the Dirtbags' unanimous response to the ESPN panel's on-the-air presumption that high-and-mighty and No. 1- ranked Stanford and Notre Dame would make a "national championship-type Super Regional.'

My comment: I'm guessing that the Red Pine Trees are NOT taking victory over the Dirtbags for granted. In fact, if you read some of what's online, you would have to conclude that the Cardinal would have preferred to have a different #2 seed. Take a look here.


That's the way the ESPN boys see it, even if the Super Regionals are next week.

"Stanford and Notre Dame have it all locked up, right?' Dirtbags coach Mike Weathers said, sarcastically, as he and his staff and players took in the televised NCAA selection show at Legends.

"Well,' he added with a wink, "I guess we ought to go ahead and go on up there.'...

Should the Dirtbags win at Stanford, and somebody other than Notre Dame (49-10) wins that regional UC Irvine (34-21) of the Big West, Arizona (30-24) and Kent State (35-25) are the other contenders at South Bend, Ind. in all likelihood Long Beach State would host the Super Regional at Blair Field.

In 1998....the Dirtbags knocked Stanford out of its own regional, then beat North Carolina State and Alabama as well, and ended up in Omaha, the last time they've been there.

The Dirtbags enter this postseason on a downer, and they can't even blame ESPN. They've lost seven games in a row, their longest skid in 16 years.

"The losses have certainly hurt us,' Weathers said. "That's why we're not hosting (a regional).

"But,' he added, "it would be different if we played poorly. We didn't. And I think having to go back to Stanford, and not getting a lot of respect, have really juiced up our guys.'...
