I Baked After 13 Innings
Baseball Outlasts Memphis in 16 Innings for Series Sweep: Cougars Win for the 16th Time in Last 20 Games (UHCougars.com)
University of Houston senior outfielder Matt Weston's groundout in the bottom of the 16th inning allowed Travis Cougot to score from third base and handed the Cougars an 8-7 win over Memphis on Sunday in the finale of a Conference USA series at Cougar Field.
I baked in direct sunlight for 13 innings of this one before calling it a day.
It's good that the Cougars got the win (without my help! ha) and the sweep of the series. It's too bad, however, that the bullpen couldn't secure the win for Luis Flores, who pitched well enough to win. The team also failed to do some little things that could have ended this one earlier. I bet Coach Noble will remind the guys of every single one.
Little things aside, this team has become a lot of fun to watch. I think their inconsistent bullpen will probably keep them from Omaha, but a lot of teams have inconsistent bullpens, so you never know -- especially since most teams don't have UH's starting pitching or hitting.

Dood . . . Getting baked isn't necessarily a BAD thing.
Did you play Frisbee or Hackysack? Or maybe sit in a circle and sing Kumbaya and then discuss the philosophical implications of dust?

Oddly enough the Coogs are ranked #13 in one of the latest polls.
Maybe you knew something.
