A full series? And whose idea was this?? Two days worth of 18-5 and 15-2 affairs is NOT what this team needs right now.

Me and a couple of Western buddies are planning on driving to Winston tomorrow for the double hitter but they are calling for rain and I really hope it comes ( down pour )....I'm afraid these games wont be competitive and not sure why we scheduled 3 games with Wake .....One game would have been enough.....

We've not done well against nationally ranked teams, I agree a midweek game would have been enough. If all three games are played, we will just pad their stats, as our pitching will not hold up (I hope I'm wrong).
