numbers set conjure up an image of what i consider a really strong team or season. in our last 10 games we finished 5-5 and lost the last 3 - - not so hot coming down the stretch. SLG% 0.469; OBP% .386. team pitching ERA 6.86. acc (only) teams series: 5-5. just the stats, fans; just the stats. that said, i meant no insult or dissing of any player or players. the record thru the season and at the end just didn't excite me. they were hard working young Hokies doing their best, but not setting college baseball nor the acc on fire as a dominant team. i went out of my way (293 miles each way) to attend two home games, and cheer for the Hokies. i almost getting tossed from English for being too loud in cheering for our team balanced with my criticism of the home plate "blind guy in blue" - no cursing, not commenting about the umpires' family, etc, nothing personal - just for cheering too crazily for Virginia Tech added to being too loud in critiquing blue's eyesight, inconsistency and decisions. my "backing in" is more aimed at the coaching staff which was mightily criticized on this board via play-by-play comments and post-game postmortems.
