Hogs vs eATMe——Baseball

[Son of Spam]

Your Arkansas Razorbacks take on the collie fuckers of Texass A&M for a three game series starting tomorrow at 7:00 on ESPN2. Second game is Friday at 7:00 on SECN. And finally, Saturday at 2:00 on SECN. This is our last series of the year and we really need 2 of 3 at least. Let's hope our pitching (after Hagan) can throw strikes and get at least 5 innings. And, let's hope our bats wake up before the seventh inning. And FUCK eATMe! As usual, GO HOGS!

And, your Bob Uecker quote for the series:

Between me and my roommate, we've hit 400 Major League home runs.

Bob Uecker

(His roommate was Eddie Matthews who had like 430 HRs.)

Weather isn't looking promising for tomorrow night.  Looks like College Station will be getting that much needed bath from Mother Nature right about the time Smith is scheduled to take the mound. 

Likely a double header Friday followed by one on Sunday.  Not the best news for our bullpen. 

If the decision is made to start the game Thursday I'd probably start someone other than Smith.  I wouldn't put it past Schlossnagle to push them to get started with rain coming to try to shorten Hagen's start.  Give him game one of Friday's DH (or the only game if the rain doesn't happen) and keep him on normal rest.

That part off Texas is going to get rounds of rain over the next few days.

Some people spray their dog to get them to stop doing things like crapping in the house or chewing on the coach. Mother Nature brings out her hose to get aggies off their sheep.

I don't hate it.

Wood has looked decent lately and Molina and Tygart have been wildly inefficient at best and hot trash at worst.

DVH was legit pissed at all the free base runners and their inability to find the zone this past weekend.

I like that move.  Fuck it, Johnny Wholestaff on Sunday!

Game time Thursday is now set for 8.

Pardon me for being an idiot but that's today's game right?

Raining cats and dogs in college station. And we'll be for a while. 8:00 may be optimistic.

It looks like there is a window from 6 to about 8:30.   Of course game time isn't until 7:00. 

I wish they would either call it, or Dave would hold Smith until tomorrow. 

EDIT:  just saw that first pitch is now 8:00.

Agree about Smith. It's flash flooding in Austin right now and the radar shows rain all the way through Houston. I believe the system that just passed over us is headed that way. I don't know how they fit that game in tonight without some delays. I wish they would just play 2 tomorrow.

The weather is weird in Houston today.  It hasn't really rained much but looks like it should be pouring.  It is starting to lighten up too.

They just showed a live shot of Blue Bell Park and there's a pond in the outfield.

Blue Bell should film a folksy commercial about the ol' fishin' hole in the outfield before it drains.

[BleedinRed]

The sky fell out here in Houston about 30 minutes ago.  It is now a hurricane.  The weather typically goes west so I can't see playing tonight.

[DirkPiggler]

They're playing as of right now. 

Radar shows that the rain will be gone well before first pitch.  If they can just get all that water out of CF. 

If it happens I can do play by play if no one else wants it.

3. Jared Sprague-Lott 3B
4. Wehiwa Aloy SS
5. Ben McLaughlin 1B
6. Ryder Helfrick DH
7. Hudson White C
8. Jayson Jones LF
9. Ty Wilmsmeyer CF

P. Ryan Prager WHP.








*I know he's not the real lord and savior, hence the lack of a capital L and S.  No blasphemy here.

**"the border" being the one running down State Line Avenue, as recognized by most of the civilized world.
