The 49ers are supposed to have a pretty good team but they have played absolutely noone. We will see how they do against Nick. I love looking at Nicks stats so far.

I wish this game was up in Charlotte. I'd love to see the Yardcocks save me 1.5 hours of drive time.

[d20636]

I wish this game was up in Charlotte. I'd love to see the Yardcocks save me 1.5 hours of drive time.Well if you'd get rid of that '72 Pinto you might make it in under an hour! :lol:

I'll be listening tonight - and envying those there. The sky is so freakin' clear...just a tad on the cool side. PERFECT!
:swingcoc::swingcoc::swingcoc:

[superstar90]

I hope this doesn't happen, BUT I believe we may lose this game. We are a much better team than them, but we just beat up on the taters. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't come out flat. At least the younger guys on the team. Of course in baseball we are gonna lose some games you shouldn't, and I'm picking this one to be ours.

But I say we win tonight in bball! :)

I have posted about this game a few times, and although I did not express my concern, I do have some. We have a cupcake series coming up and I sure don't want to see us getting lax. Plus a big win over us would put them at 8-1 and a chance to break into the top 25.

Has anyone figured out who there starting pitcher is going to be?


Something from a January article about the 49ers being recognized in preseason polls:

They will cover Friday AND Saturday of the Duquesne games. They won't cover Sunday due to the basketball game.

[Cocklover]

They will cover Friday AND Saturday of the Duquesne games. They won't cover Sunday due to the basketball game.

did they do another pitching change.

yes ... Joe Yermal is not the pitcher for UNCC

[CockyChrisCox]

as much as i like the recent play of godwin, it didnt help his cause of getting into the weekend rotation with the nice job done by Coop on sunday. Thomas will be a staple on sunday until atwood can return to the lineup---we gotta keep that lone lefty as a starter against SEC play. but if coop struggles, you'll see godwin in there.

[cack]

runner attempts to steal...GUNNED out at second. TWO OUTS.

HELL YEAH

[Nasty]

if i remember correctly ... Godwin had mono last year ... so they're probably just letting him pitch during the week right now to make sure he's going to be able to step back in

plus ... having too much good pitchers is a problem i would LOVE to have

[SouthernCock]

i wish i could watch on my comp

[cack]

i wish i could watch on my comp

you could ... if you buy it

[Nasty]

i wish i could watch on my comp


Me too

[ColaCock]

DAMMIT.

Darnell strikes out again. 2 appearances with bases loaded and 2 strikeouts.

[donbgamecock]

[FlorenceCock]

This is not looking good but one good inning could have us back in the lead.

[donbgamecock]

Score is now 5-2 with one out and a man on third.

[donbgamecock]

This team has a lot of good pitchers and they rotate them pretty frequently. We'll have to get on a few of them to score big.

[tptgamecock]

Charlotte strikes again 5-2 not looking good at this point.

[donbgamecock]

Another hit. 6-2. Man on 1st and still only one out.
