Virginia Cavaliers take 2 from Jackets over the weekend

by Winfield Featherston on Apr 12, 2010 8:00 AM EDT

In one of the most disappointing weekends so far this season, the Virginia Cavaliers beat Georgia Tech in 2 of 3 games, 7-4, and 9-1. The Jackets won the Saturday match 7-4. Adding insult to injury, Deck McGuire was handed his second loss of the season as well.

The Jackets fall to 27-5 overall and 12-3 in the ACC while the Hoos go to 27-7 overall and 10-5 in the ACC. I wouldn't be surprised to see Virginia in the Top 2 in some poll this week. Fortunately, we do not give up our perch in first place of the Coastal Division.

Current ACC Standings: As you see, Miami sits at 2nd in the division. The Hurricanes will come into Atlanta in mid-May for a possible Coastal Division winner-take-all showdown.

The Jackets face a road test against georgie on ~~Tuesday~~ Wednesday in Athens. The game will be televised on CSS and is scheduled to start at ~~6:30pm~~ 7pm. Anybody planning on going from our end?

This upcoming weekend will be a big one. First, the Clemson Tigers come to town for a big weekend series. Secondly, Ted finds his way back to Atlanta for the weekend to catch up on some Georgia Tech happenings (St. Louis is boring I guess). Expect to see some anti-Jacket Leggett talk on here as we get closer to Friday. Ted HATES JACK LEGGETT. But then again, not many Tech fans should like him either. I strongly encourage all of you to check out the game this weekend as the Clemson series never disappoints.

very disappointing weekend

We got the hits but we left 18 guys on base. I felt like we only scored when we got homers. Add in 6 errors on the weekend and you’ve got a cluster F.

"Ted HATES JACK LEGGETT"

I couldn’t agree with this more. To see this jackass do a headfirst slide into his gathered team after the pre-game meeting with the umps was infuriating. I’m not sure if he’s still doing that, but it was the most bush league thing I’d ever seen in my 20+ years of playing the sport. I’m all for getting your team fired up, but that’s just being a disrespectful (this happened at Rusty C) douchebag.

Even more disrespectful was him cursing at a heckler in the stand 2 years ago at the Rusty C. Right in front of children too. It caused quite a stir and security was called

If you can't handle the hecklers like an adult,

then don’t be the 3rd base coach… That comes with playing 3rd base/short stop or coaching 3rd.

Also

he winked at my buddy Jose about 5 years ago, causing one of the greatest tirades in the history of heckling. Jack Leggett is a classless douchebag who has Zero respect for the game.
