Horns won the series against Alabama, but couldn't close out game3 for the sweep.

I went to game1 on Friday night, what an awesome time.  Weather was fantastic, team was rolling, ran into a ton of old friends.

I heard A&M is having a nice 2nd half to the season.

Yesterday LSU confirmed pitcher Cooper Moore's arm injury was more serious than initially thought (because of course it is....it always is in baseball) and he'll be out for the remainder of the season.  Then they confirmed RF Jake Brown broke his hand against A&M and will be out for the season.  

Not that we've been doing awesome anyway.

Sometimes it just ain't your year.

Starting out Sunday, LSU had lost 8 consecutive conference games for the first time since 1977 when gas was $0.62/gallon and Jimmy Carter was president.  It would've been a monumental feat to exceed that record, but these Tigers were up to the challenge, getting swept in three consecutive conference series for the first time in program history. 

Truly a gritty and historic accomplishment for a team coming off an NC and pre-season ranked #1 in some polls!

Another starting pitcher was lost during the Clanga series.  No word on how serious his injury is or how long he'll be out, but this team certainly can't beat a MSU-caliber team missing two of its best arms.  The bullpen has been disappointing.  The defense has been abysmal, but they, at least, comprised a lot of unknowns.  The pitching staff looked to be better than this, on paper.  

Silver lining is that the offense has found its groove again lately.  But when the bats are this lively and build leads in literally every game, yet late inning pitching gives every one of those games away......you have problems.

Pitching is a bear.  Last year the Horns lost 3 of their 4 best arms by the end of the season.  This year it's only 2 of the top 5 including preseason injuries, but there's still over a month to go.

I saw something recently that the trend of high school kids getting tommy john surgery is increasing every year.  That's alarming, for sure.

I blame Canada.  

Whenever I don't have an explanation for something, I figure it's safe to just scapegoat the Canucks.
