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 Trounce Trojans - Move Up In Rankings  Friday, February 3, 2006: Dirtbags 4, USC 2 LongBeachState.com story. Box Score. USC Website. Long Beach Press-Telegram. Daily Breeze. Orange County Register. Saturday, February 4, 2006: Dirtbags 9, USC 6 LongBeachState.com story. Box Score. USC Website. Daily Breeze. Los Angeles Daily News. Sunday, February 5, 2006: Dirtbags 8, USC 6 LongBeachState.com story. Box Score. USC Website. Long Beach Press-Telegram. Los Angeles Times. On the series: The Baseball Analysts. Baseball America Top 25 Tracker. On the strength of their season opening 3 game sweep of the Univ. of Southern California Trojans, the Dirtbags moved from 22nd to 17th in the Baseball America rankings, and 16th to 12th in Collegiate Baseball. USC has not opened a season 0-3 since 1981. And Long Beach State has never swept a 3 game series with the Trojans. Until now. As usual, they did so with good pitching, posting a team 3.00 ERA for the series. But less familiar to fans of the Beach (at least in the recent past), they mashed the ball. As a team, Long Beach State hit .354 for the set, with a .429 on base percentage, and slugged at .552 (2 HR, 2 triples, 9 doubles). And 2 of the 3 games were at not so hitter friendly Blair Field (unless you count the fog assists on Friday night, to be fair). Perhaps most impressive, they came from behind late both Saturday and Sunday, in each case defeating pre-season All-American Paul Koss (0-2). Take a look at the stats for the individual numbers. Okay, this is fun! Off Dirtbags topic: I gotta give a hat tip to my law school alma mater, the Univ. of San Diego. The Toreros annihilated defending National Champions Texas in a 3 game sweep, by a combined score of 22-10 (including a 6-0 shutout on Saturday). Texas drops from 1st to 7th, and USD goes from unranked to 18th in Baseball America. And while we're talking sweeps, Stanford handed the Cal. State Fullerton Titans a 3 game sweep in Palo Alto, knocking Fullerton from 5th to 9th in the BA rankings.
