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.

Baseball America Previews The Long Beach Regional ![]() This from Baseball America: NCAA Regional Preview: Long BeachWins are wins, and losses are losses. But I think it would be a mistake to place too much store in the 3 losses Long Beach State suffered at the hands of the Trojans. The 1st 2, coming at the low point in the season for the Dirtbags (the Cal. sweep followed immediately thereafter), had Troy Tulowitzki and Sean Boatright both out with injuries. They also came when the 49ers were playing their worst defense. The 1st game was lost 4-3, and the difference was an unearned run [LongBeachState.com Story. Box Score]. In the 2nd game, lost 7-5, the Beach gave up 4 unearned runs [LongBeachState.com Story. Box Score]. The defense has since risen to 30th best in D-I (at .970). On The Other Hand: Long Beach State really could be dubbed the co-favorite. It's playing at home a year after going on the road and toppling No. 1 seed Stanford, so there's no adversity it can't overcome. Its 2.44 ERA led the nation because of the weekend rotation of Ramos (2.27) and righthanders Marco Estrada (2.27) and Jared Hughes (2.83) and a senior bullpen of righthanders Neil Jamison (0.00) and Brian Anderson (0.88). Tulowitzki (.355/.431/.603) leads the offense in those three categories despite missing 20 games with a broken hamate bone.
