Baseball is my 2nd favorite sport at Auburn so I'm excited to get the season going next week. Should be in town to catch the games on Feb. 22nd and 23rd.
Anyways, here is the Auburn related stuff from Baseball America's Season Preview:
Predicted Order of Finish: ( ** denotes predicted to make NCAA Tourney Field)
East:
Vandy**
USC**
Kentucky**
Florida**
Georgia
Tennessee
Missouri
West:
Arkansas**
MSU**
LSU**
Ole Miss**
Texas AM**
Auburn**
Alabama
Top 2013 Draft Prospect for Auburn:
Ryan Tella (15th overall in SEC)
Top Newcomer for Auburn:
Sam Gillikin (7th overall in SEC)
Summary:
Auburn is one of the SEC's "small-market" teams, being in a state with no lottery-based scholarships (unlike Florida, Georgia or Louisiana), with a bottom-third enrollment and other limitations. The Tigers have earned only one regional bid since 2005 (in 2010), haven't won a conference title since 1978 and haven't been to the College World Series since Tim Hudson led them there in 1997. This doesn't appear to be an Omaha team, but Auburn has a regional-caliber club with the return of its top hitter, OF Ryan Tella (.360/.448/.508), as part of a veteran lineup that adds top Fr. OF Sam Gillikin and Jr. 3B Damek Tomscha, a three-time draftee who helped Iowa Western to an NJCAA title last season. The rotation will rely heavily on a trio of sophomores in RHPs Rocky McCord, who threw just 17 innings last spring, and Trey Cochran Gill and LHP Daniel Koger (4-5, 3.19).

I haven't made a game in a few years either. That sounds like a great idea.

She asked me if we were going and I said that you were going to be there, She booked the airline tickets before I could finish the sentence.

That could be a long drive to make the baseball game then.

Really don't understand that. A-day game weekend you have a ready made sell out crowd on hand.

Just looked at the schedule (They start up tomorrow). Who put this steaming pile of shit together? I've never seen a worse pre-conference slate. Maine...Brown....Kennesaw State.....College of Charleston....
Normally, they'll play 2-3 real series against the Arizona States and FSU's of the world before getting into conference play. Not this year. Yeesh!!!
