(bad times)


Anyway, before we get into the nuts and bolts of why the Huskers are dominating this year, let's first talk about Spitz sunflower seeds. To the Spitz company: fuck you. These seeds are garbage. I picked some up at a QT because that's all they carry for some damn reason, and I must have gotten the Cascade or Dawn flavour, because they tasted like soap at first, then didn't taste like anything. Jesus. I know better now. Although I do feel bad about this, because their website is really earnest and they appear to be nice people. Sorry about your shitty product, nice people.

Here are acceptable seed brands:

1. Herman's Nut House (biggest seeds, locally operated, no gimmicks)

2. Giants seeds (the official seed of the Minnesota Twins)

3. Jim Beam (for obvious reasons)

4. David (becuase sometimes the above brands can be scarce, and these are better than Fisher or Frito Lay)

Anyway, back to baseball. Here are the keys to the Husker season as I see it:

1. Johnny Dorn has been a guaranteed win on Fridays. I didn't see his resurgence coming. Thank god HGH is in good supply in Grand Island due to the horse industry.

2. Nick Sullivan and the Two Jakes have anchored a solid, unspectacular lineup.

3. Thad Weber's knuckle curve and mind-numbing accuracy. Plus he's from Friend, NE.

4. Solid defense, for the most part. With the exception of the Sunday game in Austin.

While there is still a ton of baseball to be played, this team would have to really fuck up to not host a regional. Congrats to the team and Coach A for having a kick ass first half, and let's go get em the rest of the way!
