Sports: UC Irvine blew up this year and next year’s sports editor has the sport-by-sport recap for you.

There is nothing on this earth that can keep me at UC Irvine after I am done with classes on a Friday. I may have met the one and only exception to this on May 29, 2009. On this date, my hometown California State University, Fresno State Bulldogs took on my UCI Anteaters, in an NCAA Regional baseball game. I could not pass up the chance of a lifetime to see who would win out for my entire love in collegiate sports, even though the Lakers were playing for a chance to go to the NBA Finals. I felt as if I needed to make a decision once and for all. Do I go with past or present? I had some serious soul searching to do at Anteater Ballpark.

Baseball: From not that good to just that good, Deragisch is striving to be the best day in and day out.

You better shout, you better cry, the baseball playoffs are coming to town.

Baseball: Walk-off win against UCLA, bats explode against UCSB. Another succesful week for UCI baseball.

Whipping around the corner between the Mesa parking structure and Bren Events Center, my stumpy legs struggled to move as fast as I wanted them to. I was hustling. As I turned the corner, I spotted a sweatshirt bearing baby-blue and golden yellow: a Bruin fan. I huffed in disgust. Half because I was out of breadth from my journey across campus to the baseball field, and half because I hate seeing opposing colors on campus. Especially on a night like that.

Sailing: The sailing team has the most titles in Irvine history and is looking to add another this week.

Steroids: Daniel McDermot gives the scoop and inside story of taking steroids right here in the O.C..

Baseball: The weekend rotation and closer have been integral for the ’Eaters all season long.

Baseball: The ’Eaters lost one at home, but smoked the rest of the week against UCD, clinching the Big West

“Hey Mikayla, who is your favorite player?” “Manny.” “That’s what I am talking about. You want to play some catch?” “Oh yeah! Let me get my glove.”
