Exactly. As this year goes on, it really sinks in how rare last year was and what a missed opportunity to win it all. Last night they were talking about how TN was the first team since 1972 to lead the nation in HRs and ERA. All the chuckleheads talking about our power being a product solely of our “tiny” ballpark forget to mention our pitchers led the nation pitching the majority of their games in same said ballpark!

I’m surprised the pitching is not sharp. Think that’s what the majority of opinions were and why we were preseason number 2.

What a great trip to the Box for my son and I. Thanks preacherman for some super cheap tix I had to force him to accept payment for.

A synopsis of the trip:
Nice fans that gave us a good hearted ribbing from the moment we stepped out of the car. Very helpful stadium crew. Had some great conversation with random LSU fans.

Frat boys were frat boys. We took some cussing and birds and flew the Vol hand sign right back.

Exciting atmosphere. Exchanged lots of joking back and forth with the fans in the stands. Examples:

The players' girlfriends entourage walked by us and high fived my son and I for wearing our Vollie Fingers jerseys. Pretty sure it was Kirby's gf that led the way. Needless to say (all fine babes no doubt) some younger LSU fans behind us took note. I turned and said "out of state tuition is expensive, boys." The older LSU fans had a good lol outta that one.

When the LSU outfielder robbed us of a run on the great running, diving catch, an LSU fan yelled out at us "see, we been watching how you boys do it." I told him I see you seeing us! Then told him to wait til we learn to catch pop ups because y'all are screwed then.

Decided that was a good line and used it the rest of the night. That garnered a lot of chuckles except from the drunk frat guys who probably weren't good at sarcasm anyway.

What a game!

What a wonderful experience for you and your son! Even though we lost, other team’s true fans will usually treat you right and have a good time.

Sorry we missed you. Bolted pretty quick but would have enjoyed more conversation. Sprained my ankle pretty badly on Wed and it was telling me it was done after standing there for three hours. Definitely gonna make our way to LNS several times this year, Lord willing, and look forward to meeting up with you and others there.

If this team gets it's head out of its a$$, they can win. A lot of bone head mistakes base running and on defense. Anyway GoVols!!
