That time of the year. This is finals week. Grades are due next Monday. I have papers and things to read. That will be a lot of the rest of the week.
And also baseball.
The last peanuts of the season:
One of my favorite things to say this baseball season has been commenting on the ingenious of these legumes. You drop them, you can still eat them!
It truly is the little things.
Auburn romped to an 11-3 victory over FAMU last night. That game was over in the first. Tonight’s game had a less desirable outcome.
Auburn let a two-run lead slip away when Jacksonville State scored four times in the fourth. The Gamecocks added two more runs in the fifth and another pair in the seventh. Auburn had responded with one run in the fifth frame and then four more in the seventh.
The Tigers trailed by one as they headed to the bottom of the ninth. Auburn stranded three runners and that’s where the last non-conference game of the year ended. Auburn lost 8-7, having committed three more errors which led to two runs.
So they’re hovering near .500. They’ve clinched an appearance in the conference tournament, but you have to have a winning record to be eligible for the NCAA tournament. And, to close the season, Auburn hosts third-ranked Florida this weekend. No biggie.
Fun note: If you go to Chipotle and put on a show for the people working behind the counter they’ll write on your aluminum foil-covered burrito:
