Seriously, A World Series In November?

Yes, it actually happens and U better believe it!  No, really, I am being serious.

The University of Miami baseball team is set to hold its fifth annual Orange-Green Fall World Series that began yesterday with game one on Tuesday.  Fans are encouraged to attend all FIVE Fall World Series games at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field, which feature FREE admission.

The Green Team, which earned its first title in the fall of 2010, features senior outfielder Chantz Mack, junior infielder Brad Fieger, and a pair of experienced righthanders in Eric Whaley and Javi Salas.

The Orange Team, winners of three of the first four titles, includes veteran outfielders Dale Carey and Michael Broad, sophomore catcher Garrett Kennedy and talented lefthander Chris Diaz.

First pitch times for all of the remaining World Series games are as follows:

• Game Two: Wednesday, Nov. 7 - 3 p.m.
• Game Three: Friday, Nov. 8 - 3 p.m.
• Game Four: Saturday, Nov. 9 - 10 a.m.
• Game Five: Monday, Nov. 12 - 3 p.m.

Following this year's Fall World Series, the Hurricanes will wrap up fall practice with their annual Pro Scout Day on Saturday, November 17 at 10 a.m.

In-game updates from Alex Rodriguez Park will be available by following the team's official Twitter feed @CanesBaseball.

[Brian]

Derrick Green isn't a name I've heard before. If Collins wants to go, more power to him.

Are Bush and Perryman out for UVA? Crap.

[Ohio_Cane]

Perryman in yellow still, but no boot. Good news.

It's called motivation. Read the above. Kill the Cavaliers.

WIN.

Hadn't heard that. Hope it's correct, kid is very good.

[myndraize]

Derrick Green could very well choose michigan,vt doesn't seem to be selling him well ole miss seems like a fast offense oregon runs the spread and auburn looks to be really weak, why not check to see if DG would take another look

[myndraize]

I believe the 7th floor has a piece about the possibilty of the U getting dg and looking at a local rb

Miami RB Duke Johnson pays tribute to Sean Taylor, explains mission with simple gesture. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/um-hurricanes/fl-miami-duke-johnson-sean-taylor-1107-20121106,0,3647691.story?page=1 …

"“I see guys on the team that I can just tell that they don’t want it,” Johnson said. “You just never know when your last down is going to be. So I’m going to take every down like it’s my last since there’s a lot of people that take it for granted. They think football was going to be there for ever. But so did Sean."

[Ohio_Cane]

Ethenic Sands now follows Canespace. Haven't heard that name in a while

"Ethenic Sands now follows Canespace. Haven't heard that name in a while"

BEAST.

He died 6 years ago today. He was a good dude

LOL Ethenic Sands has blogged here before way back in the day with Aqua - remember 86? So has Rohan Marley

[herbieibis]

Glad to see Collins gave us a break and didn't wait until the dam witching hour to dump us.Bryant will probably be next and if he does bolt, he will wait.

[tjl3909]

so where is Collins heading? the underachieving/choking noles?

Posted by: LB | November 07, 2012 at 09:22 AM

This is serious disrespect and motivation for the 5-4 Canes and Al Golden.

Canes need to approach this game like a bowl game. Canes can go in as an underdog, win the Coastal on the road in a hostile environment, and beat a team that physically dominated them at home on national TV last year.

Another big step forward for Golden's program.

[pbcfrcane13]

Wow what a great article on Duke! I hope his passion will get passed on to the younger canes and future canes to be!

[Jack]

Beat UVA!

[LB]

I'm hearing that Malcolm Lewis got his medical hardship.

[LB]

Deon Bush out, according to Golden (as well as confirming the above about Lewis).

[Ohio_Cane]

Remember when U were 10 years old and the internet speak saying "Hai guize" was cool?

Ya, me neither.

[j.w.]

For now. Wait until Jimbo gets the offer from Auburn, then we'll see what happens to every recruit they are after. :)

[herbieibis]

My monies on FSU.

[pbcfrcane13]

Jumbo to Auburn would he ever really leave FSU?

[pbcfrcane13]

Jimbo

Ditto. R.I.P to a fellow Central alum.

[j.w.]

pbcfr: I don't know for sure, but I think so- he coached at an $EC school, would get to compete with $EC coaches whom I suspect he would love to beat every year (and thinks he can), and would probably get a good raise to coach at (and an unlimited $EC recruting payroll). His path to the title gets harder, but money and ego usually rule.

[laquinton]

Jimbo isn't leaving fsu

[laquinton]

Stoops to auburn tho

Keoki are you going to tailgate? What section are you goin to be in

A football life of Jimmy johnson was special ..... That dude is amazing , i hope Golden can mimick his success one way or another ....

[orange 'n green in the vein]

(Wo)Mandel's mailbag this week features this:

"Hypothetical: Miami beats Virginia this Saturday and Duke loses to Georgia Tech, locking up the ACC Coastal title for Miami. You are the Miami administrator tasked with making the decision the following week about whether to self-impose another bowl ban and remove the 'Canes from ACC contention and their first-ever Coastal crown and ACC championship game. Do you?
-- Sean Murrell, Jacksonville, Fla.

That's a toughie. First of all, I'm not a huge fan of the way Miami has handled these decisions, either last year or this year. If you think a voluntary postseason ban is merited, just do it before the year. It still counts whether the team actually becomes eligible or not. As it stands now, the 'Canes are waiting to see whether the players earn a berth, then taking it away from them. That hardly seems fair, especially this year, now that the recent players associated with Nevin Shapiro are gone. Also, I'm not privy to what the NCAA has or has not corroborated in its investigation and whether it's possibly uncovered more potential violations that have yet to be revealed.

However, based on the extent of allegations in the Yahoo! report, I do think the school is looking at a multi-year bowl ban. On the one hand, I can understand why the program might want to put that punishment in the past as soon as possible and lessen the burden on future teams. On the other, Miami has been in the ACC for eight years and has yet to reach the championship game. Do you really want to pass on that opportunity? This is not the same situation as Ohio State AD Gene Smith taking a Gator Bowl bid last year at the expense of this year's 10-0 Ohio State team. Miami has a chance to play in a BCS bowl for the first time in nine years. I say, play."

That does it, I'm convinced, take the ban, let's just blame it on Dyron Dye.

[TonyCane]

Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | November 07, 2012 at 09:53 PM

Technically, there are a few players still on the roster who were here when Shapiro was allegedly doing his thing.

Obama should give Miami a full NCAA pardon.
