There are a couple reasons why there is no way the Cal men’s basketball team is losing to Washington in the first round of the Pac-10 tournament on Wednesday at 6 p.m. (Click here to read more…)

No, he wasn’t in the trees down the right field line, but he did stroll down behind home plate and exhort the fans to “support the Berkeley Tree-Sitters!”  He also spouted something or other about ending some sort of tyranny, blah, blah, blah.  Yet another reason for college baseball to switch to wooden bats. Maybe it’s just coincidence, but the same inning the tree-bag showed up, Cal gave up a 2-0 lead. The Bears are now tied with San Francisco, 2-2, with junior David Cooper on first via a walk, and senior Josh Satin at the plate with one out.

UPDATE 2:58 PM: Satin just absolutely crushed a two-run homer to left center that definitely flirted with tagging the roof of the RSF fieldhouse. I lost it as soon as it came off his bat. Some lucky kid in Oakland will find a very special Easter egg, because I don’t think that thing has landed yet. Satin’s now tied with Cooper for the team lead with six home runs.
