The 2009 MLB Draft's College Hitters Crop
It's a prospect-nik's favorite time of year, as the draft is upon us. Just one more day and there will be no more mock drafts and no more rumors. Just the draft and a bunch of knee-jerk reactions. We determined in our draft study that college hitters, on average as a group, are slightly more...
Florida State Seminoles 8, Georgia Diamond Dogs 2
Following a dominant performance in their opening outing, the Diamond Dogs returned to action on Saturday against Florida State in the Tallahassee Regional. In a pitchers’ duel that got out of hand for the Red and Black at the end, the Seminoles pulled away to claim an 8-2 victory. F.S.U....
Georgia Diamond Dogs 24, Ohio State Buckeyes 8
The Ohio State football team has never beaten an S.E.C. opponent in postseason play. The Georgia football team has not lost to a Big Ten team in more than 50 years. Why were we worried about a baseball game between the Bulldogs and the Buckeyes? Justin Grimm surrendered a leadoff single to Zach...

Georgia Diamond Dogs 7, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 5
The Diamond Dogs, fresh from their streak-snapping victory on Sunday, were in Atlanta on Tuesday evening to face Georgia Tech at Turner Field. In an exciting outing in which the Red and Black very nearly blew an early lead, Georgia emerged victorious over the Ramblin’ Wreck. After Matt Cerione...
Gators Sweep Diamond Dogs; Sports Cease to be Entertaining Diversion, Instead Sap All Joy From Human Existence

Georgia Diamond Dogs 9, Florida Gators 9
On a day I spent winning friends and influencing people---well, influencing people, at any rate---the Diamond Dogs hosted Florida for the opening outing of a critical S.E.C. series. It was a game that did not do my blood pressure any favors. The top of the first frame got underway with Trevor...
