Sports writers for the New Orleans Advocate and the Times Picayune who cover LSU baseball continue to be caught up in their stories of hype and cliches and just can't be objective in their evaluation of the team and its needs. But PolitiDose's commentary in March out lined the needs of the team in order for them to return to the College World Series.
And all of the observations on LSU's needs as outlined in PolitiDose were accomplished and once again the Tigers have an opportunity to compete for a national championship in Omaha. LSU did not put it all together during the early part of the season but that changed as the season progressed.
LSU's problem for the past several years, the need for a third starting pitcher, more timely hitting with runners on base, more home runs, use of the sacrifice bunt and better coaching have all been met this season and the Tigers go to Omaha as one of the hottest teams. It has been several years since LSU has been in this position and there should be no reason to think negative at this point. So good luck to LSU, the fans and to the state of Louisiana.
