The bleeding has stopped
The bad news is that Baylor swept the Wildcats baseball team over the
weekend 16-3, 7-5, and 10-7. The good news is
that the bleeding has stopped and the season is over. Kansas State
did show some life in mid-season with a seven game win
streak, but that was about it. Kansas State finished the season last
in the Big 12 with a conference record of 5-24 overall
19-32.
Kansas State does have one excuse and I believe that it’s a reasonable
one. The Frank Myers Field is still not complete. A
lot of people believe that this should not have any effect on the team
since they are able to play on the field. This would be
similar to having half of your home remodeled and having that half
blocked off. You could still live there but it would be an
inconvenience and frustrating. I have not heard the team or the coaching
staffs complain about the conditions this year.
I think next year they need to show what they are capable of. They should
show good improvement and not let the
opponents come into Manhattan and slap them around like a stepsister.
Now that the bleeding has stopped they need to let the wounds heal and
get ready for the next season in their brand new
facility. They need to come out in the 2001 season refreshed and show
the fans that they are a completely different team than
before.
