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.

Doesn't look too good ...

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.

LOL @ picture

I’m very knowledgable about baseball. When do we get ghostmen?

Damn

Acrobatic catch kills Wiley’s hit.

Alright!

Two on in the bottom of the 4th. Time for the Rally Caps!

(Wonder how expensive the Rally Monkey runs nowadays?)

The Russian is Cut! The Russian is Cut!

Got a run back. 5-1, the Crimson Dragos lead.

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.

Whoa

If that ball was gone, it would have been a major blow.

I think the Bats need CPR

Or maybe electroshock from the electric paddles. CLEAR! BZZZT!

Ouch!

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

Cohen is a little testy with that hit by pitch call.

But every since i saw your name, i was wondering why in the world would you use Thefakegimelmartinez????.......i think its the coolest name in all of blogsphere btw…lol

by Magnoliacat on May 23, 2008 10:13 PM EDT reply actions  

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.

The real Gimel

I liked him as a player too..wonder what he’s doing now?

by Magnoliacat on May 23, 2008 10:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

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.

Sounds like he is a down to earth guy…..he found someone to marry him?? Man there is someone for everyone…j/k

That nose of his is a girl magnet

I’m sure wearing the jersey helped with the ladies, too. :)

I dont follow baseball that much….but are we known to rally from this far down?

by Magnoliacat on May 23, 2008 10:19 PM EDT reply actions  

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.

i think the ole miss homerun

last night might have taken the steam out of this team. they don’t seem like the same team tonight.

NCAA chances....

So are we in but without hosting ya think??

by Magnoliacat on May 23, 2008 10:31 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, we're in.

The UK radio announcer said that we were projected to be a #2 seed in a regional.

by TheFakeGimelMartinez on May 23, 2008 10:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

i think we are in either way

don’t think that we will host a regional without winning which is a shame. it was such a great atmosphere 2 years age. would have been great to see agian

by i got the blues on May 23, 2008 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Okay, we've got men on base

And the Alabama picture is being relieved. C’mon, reliever, time to start SUCKING!

ARGH!

Can’t be making mental errors like the infield has done. 9-4 Alabama

Sadly, I must be leaving the Internet shortly. Gotta catch my bus home. Not for sure if I’ll be back online when I get home tonight, but if I do, I’ll update the thread.

Debate....

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!!

Goodnight

Maybe they will do better after i go to bed…i may be a jinx….here’s to a major rally after i log…..
