Wooooo! 'Bama vs. Kentucky Game Thread
As the South Carolina/Vanderbilt game wraps up, I figured I'd put out a Game Thread for those of you who want to comment along with the crucial rematch with the Crimson Tide. I'll be listening along with the audio stream, but you may want to watch it on the boobtube. (Remember, my fellow Lexingtonians, that tonight's game will be shown on Fox Sports Network, and not on the Insight channel 17.)
Updated 12:22 AM Saturday: Revenge is a dish best served cold, and it is very cold in Hoover. Kentucky gets spanked 13-4. Kentucky's pitchers got very little help from the defense, which committed several costly errors. Just a bad night for the Wildcats, which ends their SEC Tournament experience this year.
Let's hope the Wildcats can smooth out these problems before the NCAA Tournament.

I'm dissapointed
The Big Blue Network announcer is sitting in the non-Wooo!-ing section.

Ugh
A grand-slam makes a 5-0 ‘Bama lead in the top of the 2nd.

Wade left on 3rd at the end of the 2nd Inning
Its a long, long ballgame. The ‘Bama picture got a little rattled; I think he threw one into the dirt.

Mental Error
A pickoff attempt in the top of the 5th was completely messed up. Bama runner advances to 3rd.
The runner scores on a deep fly ball. 6-1 now. Very frustrating.

Funny story
So you can send an email to bigblueinbox@gmail.com, and the Big Blue Network guy will answer them. I sent him a question about the bullpen and who is eligible. Unlike everybody else, he called me “a listener”. I sent my question from my Fake Gimel email address.
Now he’s complaining about the stadium’s PA crew just played “Ice Ice Baby” while the UK reliever was warming up.

AAAAAH!
Bases loaded, and another pop-up out to end the inning.
An older lady I knew once told me, “Some days you get the elevator, other days you get the shaft.” Its not over, but that was a beautiful opportunity.

Could have been another grand slam, and a great play at the plate, but the Cats give up another run. Great effort by Wiley.

Thanks
The Real Gimel might be ashamed of me, but I think its a fitting tribute to one of my favorite UK players. (Actually, the real Gimel emailed me and asked me to stop calling myself “GimelMartinez”, for fear that somebody might be confused that I might be him. I asked him if I could call myself Fake Gimel, and he agreed.

I didn't ask him then
But when he was interviewed for that “Where are they now?” book, he was helping out with a few basketball camps and being a dad.

We have the bats
But it seems like we can’t get anything to drop. Coming from 7 down will take a spectacular effort, either by the Wildcats OR Alabama.

Such as a early loss in conferance tourn. is always debated, maybe this will give them a chance to rest and prepare for NCAA’s…..unsure of that theory myself…i’d love to win them all!!
