CWS: Rain delay humor

From Baseball America's College blog:

North Carolina coach Mike Fox and Louisiana State coach Paul Mainieri had an impromptu press conference to address tonight’s game, which was suspended after a three-hour, five-minute weather delay. [...]

"I’d like to announce that Mike Fox has agreed to give us a mulligan, and we can start the game over tomorrow," Mainieri said at the start of the press conference. Then he turned to Fox and said, "Didn’t you agree to that?"

Fox quickly and firmly responded, "No."

Heh heh. Be sure to read the whole story.

The NC/LSU elimination game will resume tomorrow night at 6:08 with UNC leading 2-0, bases loaded, 1 out, and Garrett Gore at the plate (0-1 count). LSU will likely go with another pitcher in relief. You never know, though. Maybe the starter (who hit two and walked in a run on a 4-pitch walk...yikes!) will be all better tomorrow evening.

By the way, the games scheduled to be played tomorrow will be pushed back to Saturday and final games will be played on Sunday if needed. I think the best-of-three Championship series schedule is unchanged.
