Bama Baseball Sweeps 9th Ranked Ole Miss



JON KELLER, Y'ALL!!! 

For the first time in 11 years, Bama baseball swept a top 10 team this weekend.  And it was glorious.  Keller sealed the deal today by pitching his first complete game.  When pitching coach Dax Morris tried to intervene before the top of the 9th, Keller rebutted, "You've come all this way, what's 10-12 more pitches".  After throwing 119 pitches overall, he proved that those 10-12 more pitches were A LOT! 

Everything about this weekend spells out why the Bama Nation should be getting pretty fired up about Bama Baseball!  While pitching & defense this season has been lights out, only recently has the batting come alive.  And man are they putting on a show!!!  Don't believe me? Check out the game winning walk-off hit last night....




And the atmosphere?  I continue to be blown away!  The Right Field Ragers' lack of presence due to spring break was definitely apparent, but the atmosphere was still explosive this weekend!  And Sunday Funday still continues to own me.  My good friend, BamaBird of BAMS Radio, brought his grandson today & it was truly a priceless moment.  That kid loves him some baseball & watching him on the field was enough to make us all proud to be Bama fans.  I'd be willing to bet he's dreaming about running the bases as I type this...


Hope to see y'all at The Joe this year!! I think we may be in for one heck of a ride!!!

The Recruitment of Elisha Shaw

Image
A nother signing day has come & gone.  And in what has become the norm, Alabama has the #1 recruiting class, signing phenoms like Bo Scarbrough & Rashaan Evans.  Rival fanbases have already begun the annual discussions of which players on Saban's roster will be "processed" to make room for all the incoming 5 stars.  Ya know... Because the leader of the evil empire doesn't care about players.  He only cares about winning. While ESPN is ooing & awing over what might possibly be the best signing class ever, the best story of National Signing Day has gone virtually unmentioned.  The story of Elisha Shaw.  Outside of my fellow recruiting junkies, I doubt anyone's even heard his name.  At one time, Shaw was one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the nation.  With 17 scholarship offers on the table, programs like Georgia, auburn, & Florida State were all fighting for him.  But Shaw's situation changed drastically when he su...

Bama Baseball Heads to Tallahasee: They Scrong!

Image
Bama Baseball is headed to Tallahassee for the NCAA Regionals as a 2 seed in the 4-team, double-elimination event.  Bama Bats will face off against Kennesaw State on Friday while The Famous Jameis FSU Seminoles take on Georgia Southern.  Bama's dominant start in SEC play helped them climb all the way up in the rankings to #8, but a brutal back half of the schedule left them beat up, beat down, & beat out.  After a one & done performance at the SEC Championship Series last week, the Tide goes into the series with a .278 batting average which is among the upper half of the SEC.  And with 10 SEC teams making it in, that speaks volumes. *auburn & tennessee did not. LOLOLOLOLOLOL* Now the big question is who's on the mound Friday?  Care to take a guess..... I think Bama will surprise people this weekend.  I'm scrong! Like, they scrong! Are you scrong? WE SCRONG!!! ROLL TIDE! ROLL BAMA BATS!

I HATE AUBURN!!!

Image
     I really do.  So in honor of being stuck watching them play in the SEC Championship Game today, I thought I'd make myself feel better by listing some of the many reasons why I HATE AUBURN !       I hate Patrick Fain Dye. I hate his drunken diatribes. I hate his interviews. Why should I care what a drunk, cheating, lying tree farmer who loses his own pants has to say? I hate that he can't even say the word family.  What does fambly even mean?  I hate that he's like the Jim Jones to the auburn cult!      I hate Tommy Tuberville.  I hate his ears. I hate wingnuts because they remind me of him.  I hate his smug grin.  I hate that he allowed his '04 team to receive championship rings FOR WINNING NOTHING! I hate his thumbs & that stupid saying, 'Fear The Thumb'. What kind of man holds up fingers to taunt heartbroken college kids?  A classless one named Tommy.  That's who....
