Their isn't much to say about UK. With the exception of last weekends out of nowhere series win against conference leading SCar, the Wildcats have done squat in league play (9-15), with only one series win against Bama (no, they haven't played UGA yet). I doubt it will be a big crowd despite it's importance to their tourney hopes, because it seems anyone even remotely interested in Kentucky sports will be spending the weekend fighting of John Calipari rumors.
So, lets talk about ourselves instead. Watkins is back and will be batting 1st or 2nd and playing LF. Edward has indeed played himself into a starting role, unfortunately this means he will be the next warrior to fight the curse of 3B. Dozar is the odd man out, but he will be ready to sub with Edward should things go south. Meanwhile, CPM isn't saying anything about who will start Saturday. Honestly, it probably depends on whether or not Ranaudo has a good outing.
It has to come together this weekend. Ranaudo, pitching, hitting, all of it. There is no time left. Now is the hour. I feel a motivational speech coming on...
Only one TV game this weekend, and it's got a high chance of Zombies
Weather: Not looking good, Friday will be tough to get in and Sunday may be a complete washout. Expect a DH somewhere.
Also, I've got a bachelor party in BR on Saturday Night, so if someone wants to pickup the slack on Saturday, maybe even Sunday, that would be great.

Crazy thing about this season
In the twisted minds of our fanbase, it puts that much more pressure on Miles in the fall.
Nah, not even the Rant is that bad.
But wow this baseball season sure is a surprise. I actually picked us 3 rd in the west behind arky and ole miss this year and 4 th in the SEC behind Florida from the east, but I definitely had us with a winning record. This is getting bad.

What I really think of UK, and more accurately, what I think about losing to UK in anything.
A buddy who grew up in UK country told me about the infamous UK penis tongue mascot that was adopted for a brief period in the ‘90s. I couldn’t believe it until I saw it for myself.

no, you got that wrong.
The Tigers should feel terrible. The are embarrassing themselves.
I’m disappointed but I would hope that my emotions pale in how badly these kids should feel about their perfomance. They have imploded.
No, I got it right.
I feel terrible for the Tigers. They are still a bunch of kids after all, no matter how talented. I feel bad for them because they’ve really lost their swagger, and they’re struggling to get it back.
Jrlz rhymes with Charles.
So what's a coach to do?
Tell them to relax and play for fun even though Hoover is on the line?
Take them out for ice cream to try and raise their spirits?
Get mad and unleash the punishment?
Say “to hell with it” and pull all regulars outside of Gibbs, replace them with frosh and backups, and change the pitching rotation to Alsup, Bertuccini and Bradshaw?
Cry?
Jrlz rhymes with Charles.
Cry.
