I have to shoot out some props to the Baylor Baseball Team and their very impressive run at the end of the season. Although their season ended on Sunday with a very painful loss to TCU, the improvement that this young team made toward the end of the season is quite remarkable.
The week before the K-State series, everyone had given them up for dead. Their appearance in the Big 12 Tournament was in doubt (which would be the first time in the history of the conference), and the post-season future looked very dim.
Well, not only did they sweep the K-State series, but they made the Big 12 Tournament title game, and in the process raised their RPI to 23, wrapping up a NCAA regional berth at Rice's Reckling Park in Houston. Stephen and I went down to Houston to see the games, and had a blast. As I've said before, the ballpark (any ballpark) is therapeutic for me, and it was so much fun to get lost in the world of baseball with my son for 3 days.
So, congratulations to Coach Smith and the Bears on what I feel is over-achievement for this young team, and with most of the starting lineup returning next year, we've got a lot to look forward to. Sic 'Em, Bears!!!!
