We think Huck will be doing more liveblogging tonight. He may be a bit late starting as he has to work or some shit, but keep an eye out for that.

Also, Bragg let us know that they will be doing an in-game chat, so you can head over there too.

So, Leake is 16-1 with a 1.36 ERA. Let’s hope Chance can throw nine innings of shutout ball, and let’s hope that’s enough!

Hook ’em!

Your pitcher certainly was born with the correct name for the likely outcome of the game today. Just add “Fat” in front of his God given name to complete the appropriate picture of your inevitable fate.

Is 120 millions dollars worth of Ben-Gay going to be enough to soothe the pain of going 0’fer for nine innings in this game and getting embarrassed on television in front of the entire nation? After watching your erectile dysfunctional team get its clock cleaned out, let me know Horns if 120 millions dollars worth of Ben-Gay was enough to make the pain go away. Inquiring SEC minds want to know.

You understand that Texas is not the school you’re making look bad here right?

@Tiger: Hilarious. Tears streaming. Stomach hurting. Knees slapped.

Did you pick up the $120 million thing from the previous post? That’s gold.

Depends on the outcome of the game, Minnie. And I like my “chance” on this one.

Also, I don’t believe that anyone else has to bother with making your school look bad. The incompetence of your hitting line-up and the lopsided outcome of the game should be more than enough to do that job tonight all by themselves, without the need for anyone else’s assistance.

I am like a young George Washington. I cannot tell a lie and can only speak the truth. Minnie, hate the message and not the messenger. If you all suck, then you all suck. Just accept the reality of this truth and go on with your life. A fact is a fact after all. No need to be throwing unwarranted attempts at personal insults at someone who is only the bearer of the light, the truth, and the way.

Why is it that ESPN makes the CWS unwatchable by taking one song and playing that one song over and over again at each break so that that one song becomes very annoying to you and you begin to cringe when you hear that one song even if you liked that one song at some point in the past before ESPN decided that this one song was the one song that they were going to play into the ground. I don’t even know why this one song has any relation to the CWS.

Tiger Bashball,

I applaud your efforts and am anxiously hanging on for your next posting of rare insight and well thought out analysis.

You are truly a fine representative of your team’s fanbase. Please continue to enlighten us with your razor sharp analysis.

Maybe Huck could video the game and then post it for all to enjoy.

Okay, Minnie, I’m back, I admit that you were right, and I have Ben-Gay all over my face. You happy now, Eskimo Horn.

What the fuck happened in that game. The game was going just as I thought it would and I went away thinking the game was all but over. I come back thirty fucking minutes later and it’s the same God damn inning, the game is tied, and the ASU ace is sitting on the bench with a blank look on his face. What the fuck.

I have to admit that I was wrong last night, but, in a sense, I really wasn’t. If ASU and Texas were to play the same game as last night, ASU would come out on top probably at least 7 out of 10 tries.

Feel blessed Horns, there is a force of chaos and unpredictability in the universe and it heavily favored you all last night. I give you all credit for taking advantage of the opportunities presented to you all, but, in truth, the main reason why you all won last night was due to, once again, that thing called LUCK.

Don’t know how much longer you all can keep coming up with highly suspect and lucky ass ways of winning, but the SEC man in me says that all these iffy ways of winning has to end sooner rather than later. Enjoy it while it lasts, you bunch of lucky S.O.B.’s.

“I was wrong because you got lucky” is not exactly admitting an error, IMO….

by Bob in Houston on Jun 17, 2009 12:38 PM CDT reply actions  

Well, that’s all your going to get out of me and that’s all you all deserve. I already admitted the Ben-Gay face thing. What more do you guys want out of me? Who doesn’t think that luck played a big ass role in your win last night? Even you can’t deny that, Bobby.

“Feel blessed Horns…”

We feel blessed just for your company Shaggy Aggie/Spread Eagle/Tiger Bashabll/whatever. You truly enrich our lives just as I’m sure you do others around you.

Sailor Ripley only bans his own staff. Really strange but we’ve learned not to question his tactics.

I’m sitting here trying to think of how we could have won last night’s game because of “luck”, when we won by four runs, and out-hit them 15-10.

“I’m sitting here trying to think of how we could have won last night’s game because of "luck", when we won by four runs, and out-hit them 15-10.”

Since I am sitting here with Ben Gay all over my face, due to unfortunate circumstance, let me help you to see the luck based cause of my predicament. And by ‘Ben Gay’ I mean the former Baylor running back. And by ‘all over my face,’ well, I think you know what I mean.

When you guys went down by six runs, even your coach was effectively throwing in the towel and admitting defeat by putting Dicharry on the mound. He had no true reason to pull Ruffin and he was probably planning on saving his arm for the multiple games of the loser’s bracket. Only when the game was tied did he do the smart thing and put Jungman into the game, knowing that this was the only chance his weak hitting team would have to squeek into the championship game.

What happened that caused Leake to be so erratic? How can that be explained? Your come back was more due to his poor pitching and lack of command than your excellent hitting (as if that’s possible, keep dreaming). The answer is simple. You guys sucked it up so bad and for so long in the 3rd inning that the kid’s arm got cold and, as a result, he momentarily lost command of his pitches. Your hitters being desperate and impatient, being down by so much, started to swing with reckless abandon and were lucky enough to clobber some of the balls which Leake was uncharacteristically leaving right over the plate.

Does this series of events sound familiar to you, Nordberg? Hey, the results and final outcome are important, but they don’t always reflect the true tale of the game nor the relative strengths of the teams. To think otherwise is to be vulgar and I am guessing that you do not wish to be vulgar. Basically, you guys sucked it up so much that your suckitude managed to somehow rub off on Leake. That is how you guys managed to win the game and how how I ended up having Ben Gay all over my face. Why do my eyes sting?

Shit man, Nordberg, even your fucking coach had no explanation for the fucking come back. When asked by Erin Andrews, all he could come up with was some pseudo, zen wannabe, sixties era, Pavlovian psycho-babble. Having the opportunity to laugh my ass off at his old fogey, mumbling phoniness was almost worth the price of admission, Ben Gay all over my face. Kind of salty.

Minnie, I do not have multiple personality. This Aggie is one of kind. A one of a kind fucktard.

Vasherized,
Awesome pic. Is that a photo of the side panel of HJ’s carpeted van, which he lives in down by the river?

by Texoz on Jun 17, 2009 6:56 PM CDT reply actions  

No that really is Sailor Ripley — fish scaled skirt, titanium cape, Gandalf locks and all.

Sadly, HJ’s van recently got foreclosed upon and he’s living in the hospitality suite at the Disch.

Leake was having control issues long before the 4th inning, but keep telling yourself we got lucky, you retarded fuckstick.

Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I’ve really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. After all I will be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again very soon!
