Aztecs v. Toreros: Game 1 of Crosstown Series

USD's Cunningham Stadium...an oddly configured viewing experience

This is your weekly reminder of what San Diegans have rather than what they do not. We do not have a Charger Super Bowl Championship or the promise of a successful Padre season on the horizon.

We do have the country's 11th ranked baseball team in the University of San Diego Toreros.

AND

We do have the consensus #1 pick in this June's Amateur MLB Draft in San Diego State's Stephen Strasburg.

Yesterday they did battle at USD's Cunningham Stadium and I witnessed unadulterated dominion of man. I arrived in the 5th inning and watched Strasburg record 12 outs......11 of which were by strikeout. He made the 11th ranked Toreros look like children defensively waving at a birthday party pinata. It was awesome! In the end Strasburg recorded his 3rd victory of the young season (3-0) and the Aztecs won 5-3. Allegedly Strasburg gave up a two run bomb.....strictly rumor and innuendo......USD is a private Catholic institution and Providence is the only logical explanation for how Strasburg could be touched up for a two spot.

So if you are lamenting the upcoming Padre season and you can't wait for the Chargers to return, do yourself a favor: Get yourself to USD and SDSU during the 2009 College Baseball Campaign.
