Because I forgot that Auburn and MSU were playing on Thursday night, that’s why. Home teams in crimson.
Alabama 31 Penn State 12
South Carolina 24 Georgia 13
Florida 35 South Florida 14
LSU 23 Vandy 10
Arkansas 23, La-Monroe 10
Ole Miss 20 Tulane 17
Kentucky 38 W Kentucky 14
Oregon 45, Tennessee 0
Try again:
Yuck… Mets vs Phils with Halladay going up against a guy 0-3? And us sending Minor up against Carpenter? 2 games back isn’t very far, right?
Why is Arkansas going to La-Monroe?
Curious to see this 18-year-old true freshman QB going into Tuscaloosa.
Of course, I’m way more curious to see the 19-year-old redshirt QB going into Columbia.
I really like that
You picked South Carolina

On the other hand,
I oppose your silly pick

As if Tennessee athletics couldn’t get any worse…
Arkansas is not going to Monroe. The game is a home game for Arkansas in Little Rock instead of Fayetteville.
good thing is that the Cards hit lefties just like the Braves. The numbers are scary. However, if we lose this game its going to be a very ugly series IMO
Mac, for the uninitiated, why the Tennessee hate?
Anybody post this yet?

Amused by that image (ok, mainly just the little corner of Frenchie head sticking up from the corner).
FWIW, Mets’ Santana out for season with that shoulder injury. Having surgery.

I’m an Alabama fan. It’s our nature to hate Tennessee.
@11, I can’t think of a time that a Mets injury has depressed me this much.
@12, What a slap in the face to AAG.
I dont hate UT nearly as much as I did when fat Phil and Laney were there
Classic UT hate from Bama…

Now Bruce Pearl is in some trouble. I don’t want to talk about it. Probably will be ok.

I can’t see why anyone wouldn’t hate Tennessee.
When I was a kid, I liked to watch Condredge Holloway play and I liked Stanley Morgan a bit, but then I realized my basic aversion to orange.
Condredge Holloway wasn’t he the center on The White Shadow?
Coolidge.
But I seem to remember that USC tailback Charles White was on that show.
BTW, Condredge Holloway was one of the great athletes you’ll ever see. Great running QB with a big arm. Just impossible to get a good shot on him. (And let’s just say that those SEC defenses weren’t nearly as athletic as they are now.) Was considered too small (or something) for the NFL, but he did well in the CFL. He was also quite a baseball player.
Keystone Light, Chicken
Wings, and Metallica are
What can save this team.
I’ll tell you what, if Tennessee doesn’t put up a single point against Oregon I’ll give away my NLDS tickets to someone on here.(The person with the closest guess with UT having zero). Cuz I have so much confidence in my vols that I can put my tickets on the line. Oh don’t forget the score of that game last year Bama fans…13-10…you won’t have a fat man to block this years game winning field goal.
“The Most Exciting 25 Seconds In College Football”
@26 That may be the greatest haiku ever.
I was feeling all down today about the team and then I come home and find a Black Crowes concert on TV and all is right with the world.
Downtown Tuscaloosa already smells like whiskey sweat, but no Keystone Light sightings yet.
I’ve got a funny feeling about tonight’s game. I think we’ll knock Carpenter around.
Somebody once asked me what it was like to see a game Between the Hedges & I said, “Well, the first thing you notice is the smell. It smells like 92,000 people have each spilled a half-pint of Jim Beam—and the stadium doesn’t sell any booze.”
That’s a sad lineup.
Four straight almost certain outs.
I’ll “watch” anyway.
#25 oh,yes, Coolidge. I remember the episode where they played in a tournament in Vegas, and Coolidge won big at either craps or blackjack. It was easy for the high school team to pass as adults, since they were all about 28 years old at the time.
Tonight, we tie the Phils. Go, Bravos!
28 — I like this one better. 🙂
#26 —
From your lips to God’s ears, Stu.
Nothing else has worked.
nate moving up in the order, why not…tonights lineup
Bobby is apparently as tired of watching Hinske “hit” as I am. .202/.324/.372 since the All Star Break.
By the way, I didn’t remember to say this yesterday, but Happy Rosh Hashanah to all — the second day of the holiday just ended a few minutes ago.
Mets’ Lucas Duda misplays a flyball into a double, becomes key play in 2nd inning. Phils up 1-0.
Mike Minor for Heisman.
Check that, 2-0 Pha.
Could be tough night for the O…
Schools were closed yesterday in my town for Rosh Hashanah. We aren’t Jewish but count my daughter as a fan. I’m less of a fan of them opening school and then immediately taking two holidays off.
Not exactly fooling them, but at least he’s getting some outs.
Well that’s just awesome.
Sigh. Giving up an RBI single to the opposing pitcher = bad night coming.
Mets jump into a 3-2 lead on a Beltran HR.
OH MY GOD. I must be dreaming.
Nate!
LOUTH?!?!?!
It would be, like, awesome if McLouth suddenly remembered how to hit.
Lee one night, Nate the next. Maybe we can turn this around.
fwiw, nate and lee have both been hitting the ball well lately. if bobby would realize that melky is HORRIBLE, BOTH OFFENSIVELY AND DEFENSIVELY, then the braves might be ok. otherwise, innings like the one coming up will come with 2 predictable outs.
More quality umpiring in progress.
#77, you’re a hero.
Melky since the All-Star Break: .260/.335/.397
Adequate.
Feel free to compare them with Hinske’s stats upstream.
Wow. Straight away center. That ball was crushed.
This is depressing, but let’s win tonight!!!
Looks like the bottom is really falling out.
Minor’s curve is all over the place tonight.
One has to wonder…were the Braves playing over their heads most of the year?
@61 Hell yes.
@61-
I actually commented on that several times. Team had pretty good pitching and a lot of heart. Losing Medlen and Chipper hurt a lot also.
Ugh. How did that go out?
SHould we still be watching?
Ballgame; honestly. Can’t we get a decent pitching performance?
Batting the pitcher eighth is looking good right now.
The pitching has held the team up, which has helped minimize the impact of the offense’s occasional slumbers. But as we’re seeing tonight–again–the pitching isn’t holding up anymore.
Stu, you know how you
Feel about Jair Jurrjens?
I’m there with Minor.
@61 No, our starting pitching is in a deep slump right now.
robert, try looking at melky from august on. you might need a bucket.
I think minor has hit the wall. Time to shut him down for the season.
-72
And make our playoff run with Hudson, Jurrjens, Hanson, Lowe and Kawakami?
We’re staring at 2 games down now and falling into a tie for the Wild Card.
I love listening to Smoltzie. That’s the only good thing about tonight.
Still love Prado.
Also, Prado hasn’t hit lately.
Maybe that’s a start.
Good job, Prado. Don’t push it.
And Ernie says McCann is 0 for his last 16.
And…make that 1 for 17!
Thanks Smoltz!!!!
Jon Jay throws like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jay
We gave Derrek the ol’ “Kill This Rally” sign again.
It can be tough to execute when you look over to the Third Base Coach and he flashes you the GIDP sign. Can’t strike out or god forbid get a hit. But Derek Lee really got the job done there.
He’s got that veteran leadership. The way he professionally runs out those GIDPs… I love his presence.
Minor is still striking people out, so that’s a good sign.
To answer Smoltz’s question, Halladay should be the Cy Young winner.
-87
Agreed. He’s the only one who is dominant in wins, ERA, and K. And he has the perfect game and CGs to boot, all done in Citizens Bank.
Also, what really impresses me is the great K/BB ratio and the great ERA+ in 220 innings in the bandbox. He’s probably going to pitch over 250 innings.
Good play Gonzo.
You can do it Moylan. Get their most dangerous hitter.
Awesome, great job to strike out Carpenter. I was pretty nervous.
Great idea. Have a .340 hitter sacrifice. Honestly, Bobby, you got a vacation planned for October 4th?
Edit: At least Omar didn’t try it again. Nail ’em, Heyward!
We are so not going to score.
Two runs here. At least. The Legend is up.
Even better: let’s bunt with our best hitter right now!
Conrad was out. And Heyward gets in a hole because of that stupid bunt. Amazing.
Sweet mother of god, yes.
0-2 grounder makes it through the hole instead of a GIDP!
See. He’s a Hero.
Prado and McCann, guy on third. This game is tied already. Count it.
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!1111!!!
Sweeeeeet
We are SO NOT going to score!!!
See. He’s a Hero, too.
Nice call, JoeyT. I’m actually having this strange feeling… I think it’s called optimism.
Nice. I’m pumped up.
come on pimpbot
McCann: Also a Hero.
nice defense. heh heh
Jon Jay catches like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jay
I’ve gone hoarse from screaming.
I wonder if St. Louis misses Ludwick.
The crowd gets quiet, knowing Lee is up.
Tonight, even Derrek Lee is a Hero.
even Lee is getting into it! what’s going on here?!
Keep hitting! Keep it going!!!!
It’s all started with Brooksy!!!!!!
That’s what folk heroes are for, kc.
So much for Feliz’s defense.
@116 And he could bat again this inning.
Good job Melky.
Even Melky can’t kill this rally.
Wow, how does that inning go if the umpire calls Folk Hero out on the pickoff?
Are there no LH batters in this lineup…geez
You can’t walk Pujols here.
Pitching has been awful lately…
Venters hasn’t been hit hard yet. All grounders either booted or in the hole.
Pitching and defense continue to fall apart
Conrad needs to start at 2B, move Infante to SS, and bench AAG.
Two runs after all that, not so bad. Let’s get some back.
Saito-san.
Domo arigato, Saito-san.
I am going to tell myself that McLouth is squaring up on the ball, and that he’s about to become an effective major leaguer again.
131 — sure hope so.
He’s hitting a lot of balls a long way lately. That’s what Glaus looked like back before he started going off in May.
Well, we just learned that Ankiel sucks at baserunning.
We can now add pinch-runner to the long list of roles in which Rick Ankiel sucks.
I don’t think even Yunel would have done that.
Helluva win tonight.
Finally….
Hopefully, we’ve got our resilience back.
Alright! Put one in the W column.
Nice to still have a hold on a playoff spot.
#32, you prescient fool.
This is a huge win for the confidence. We have the upper hand in the pitching matchups for the next two days, so let’s ram home that advantage and take the series 3-1.
*confetti*
Go Padres?

At least not right now.
He should be pretty good in

Dammit. Stop with the fucking haikus.
Men don’t haiku shit. We kick ass. And kill Cards. And end losing streaks.
Stoppit.
The haiku comes from
Japan. So does the ninja.
Who’s a man, now, bitch?
