Baseball Takes on Oklahoma
It's #5 Texas vs. #8 Oklahoma. A Texas win could make the difference between hosting and playing somewhere hostile in the first round. Kenn Kasparek takes the mound for the Horns.
[Note by Horn Brain, 05/24/08 9:12 AM CDT ] It's 9:12 in TEXAS....
[Note by Horn Brain, 05/24/08 1:09 PM CDT ] ... And OU still sucks! Texas wins 11-10 by coming back from a 10-8 deficit in the bottom of the ninth. David Hernandez is a god today. See comments for details.

And OU Still Sucks
Torres reaches on an error by the OU second baseman (oh the irony) and scores on a Jordan Danks double. KK ran into trouble in the top half but struck out the last two hitters

OU continues to suck - Bot 1st
Danks advanced to third on a ground out by Moldenhauer, then scores on a single by Belt. 2-0 Guys that buy their land through accepted channels.

Sooners get zero again in the 2nd...
Probably karma from all that land they stole in the 1800’s.

3-0 Horns
Danks singles, caught stealing in pitchout
Russell singles, Moldenhauer doubles him home

Top of the order is deadly today.
If Danks hadn’t gotten caught, it’s 4-0 right now.

Where were these bats against Mizzou?
I know, the worst Tigers pitcher is a whole level better than the best of the Sooners’ rotation. But man it’s frustrating to watch this firepower when all we needed was two more runs…
OU with runners at 2nd and 3rd, one out.
NYCHorn, did you try launching GameTracker from texassports.com?

Interesting stat...
Discounting the two Alabama A&M games, Texas starters have averaged 7 2/3 innings since being swept by Okie State. That, ladies and gentlemen, is why this team is winning.

Only once (Cole Green in the 4-1 lost to KSU) has a starter gone fewer than 5 innings.

Russell throws out a runner at the plate to end the inning and keep the deficit at 1 run. Kyle has an absolute cannon for an arm.

That's about enough absentee abuse.
I come strolling through for some catch-up and here I find somewhat more than my fair share of abuse. Somehow I missed the start of this particular episode and find myself in a free floating piece of continuity.
However, in the end, the Horns triumph in spectacular fashion, everything falls into place for the Big 12 Tourney Championship, so I guess that it is all my fault powerful mystical personal mojo that gets the job done when the neuron impaired run low on inspiration.
You can’t do that with an absentee girlfriend, you know.
