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

by 40AS on May 24, 2008 9:19 AM CDT   0 recs

2-0 Horns through 1

Brandon Belt singles in Danks.

by 40AS on May 24, 2008 9:27 AM CDT   0 recs

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.

Horns go quietly

Top 3, 2-0 Texas

by 40AS on May 24, 2008 9:40 AM CDT   0 recs

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.

Have you tried

Then click Live Games and XXL.

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?

Travis Tucker launches one!

Rupp was at first, 2-run homer gives Texas a 6-1 lead!

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.

by 40AS on May 24, 2008 10:55 AM CDT   0 recs

Also

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

Kenn's wobbling again

Think Augie’s gonna pull him?

Runners at 1st and 2nd, no outs.

Big first out

Fly out to Danks. If Texas can get out of this up 6-3 or 6-4, it’ll be a good thing

Wild pitch, another run

Think Green is a little rattled by coming in with bases loaded?

Thank God for Kyle Russell!

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.

Little OU dude on game tracker had to run into the stands to catch it.

Travis Tucker = Hero

Rupp walks, advances to second on a failed pickoff, scores on a Tucker single. 8-7 good guys!

Bad comparison...

... Crusaders
A.) Weren’t the good guys all the time
B.) Generally got their asses handed to them.

If we score again we’ll have to come up with something else.

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.

by whills on May 24, 2008 6:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Walked home another run.

Now Shinaberry’s in. Augie is saying we have to win this game in the ninth, because Shinny can’t pitch more than 3 outs.

Shinaberry throws a K

After about 10 foul balls. Geez.
