A baseball update and retraction

I'll admit I rushed my weekly update a little bit this week. Despite that, I'm still an idiot for not checking out thoroughly the records of each team. Anyway, here are the updated (and corrected standings)...

1. Texas, 18-6 (Home to Texas A&M this weekend)
2. Missouri, 16-8 (At Oklahoma State)
3. Oklahoma State, 16-8 (Home to Missouri)
4. Texas A&M, 13-10 (At Texas)
5. Nebraska, 12-12 (At KU)
6. K-State, 10-13 (At Baylor)
7. Oklahoma, 9-15 (Home to Texas Tech)
8. Baylor, 9-15 (Home to K-State)
9. KU, 8-15 (Home to Nebraska)
10. Texas Tech, 7-16 (At Oklahoma)

Thus, we hold a 1.5 game lead over Baylor for the eight seed in the conference. Win one game against the Bears, and we are guaranteed to make the conference tournament. We probably need to take the series off Baylor to hang on to the six seed, because OU will almost certainly at least take the series off Tech, if not take a sweep.

If we won the series and KU took the series off NU, we could move up to fifth, but that's a long shot.

Currently, Rivals still has us as one of the last five teams in, playing as a three-seed at the Wichita Regional. As I've mentioned before, Wichita would be a good draw for us. It's close to home, so we should be able to put quite a few fans in the stands at Eck. Also, it would give us the chance to play the Shox, a team we've proven over the last few years we're not afraid of. Rivals currently has six Big 12 teams in the field, which is probably about right.

SEBaseball also has us as a last five team in, playing as a three-seed at the Fayetteville regional. They also have Wichita State in that regional, which would give us a first-round matchup with the WuShocks, but in a different location. Hmmm...

Not a whole lot else new in Wildcatland these days. Change of scenery for me, as I'm now looking at the world (temporarily) from the rolling hills of KC. Good to be away from the dickhead cops in Texas for a while...

More to come this week.
