Thoughts on the Penn St series etc: Boy, that was a rough and wild ride. A total of 92 runs were scored by both teams for the four games. A total of 49 were scored by the Illini. The funny thing is that they did with only two homeruns (Hastings…
Today’s Illini loss to Michigan wasn’t as overwhelming as the two on Saturday but the 7-4 game still hurt as it meant a Wolverine sweep for the weekend. Illinois went into the weekend in second place and came out of it in fourth. Michigan cruised to a 7-0 start by…
It wasn’t even close. The Michigan Wolverines crushed the Illini by similar scores of 14-4 and 14-6. I didn’t make it out to the games. Between the cold, wet weather and watching the kids, it just wasn’t in the making. I had Gametracker going on the computer and the Cubs…
Today’s doubleheader between Illinois and Michigan was originally set for 3:05pm then changed to 1pm to take advantage of any good weather left. Now, the game has been tentatively been moved back to 2:30. High of 41 today with rain, rain, rain in the forecast.
Michigan defeated Illinois tonight 9-5. I shot this as I was walking to the stadium. The flags are located at direct centerfield. I could tell right away we were going to have a slugfest. Some Michigan ballplayers were spotted outside the stadium during batting practice to flag down the balls…

Shawn Roof and me Let me first say I had a fantastic time. This was my second Big Ten Tournament and the first time I’ve traveled to see the Illini baseball team play. Every Illinois fan wishes they could have won the tournament but all things considered, I thought they…
Well, with the Illini gone, I decided to stick around and watch some ball ANYWAY. Penn State who lost their very first game against the Buckeyes, have played with heart and have hung on, winning against Iowa, Michigan and yes, Illinois. Minnesota, on the other hand, have just come off…
Rather than sit under the overhang, this guy decided to wear the rain slicker In my last post yesterday, I mentioned that I noticed a few drops falling from the Ann Arbor sky. Well, that turned into a steady sprinkle that lasted for a couple hours. That didn’t stop the…
