Good evening. We’re moments away from a little baseball between Mississippi State and Tennessee.
The Bulldogs are looking for their first series win of the year and are still just four games out for the final spot in the Southeastern Conference tournament.
A few notes . .
• On the mound for MSU is Chad Crosswhite (2-3, 9.89). He’ll face the Vols’ Nick Hernandez (1-3, 5.10)
• Also, former Booneville and ICC standout Cody Grisham is starting at shortstop for Tennessee. He’s appeared in 28 games and his hitting .245 with a home run and one RBI.
• MSU is just 5-15 in the month of April.
• State has won the last four series against UT. Amazingly, the two have met just 62 times, with MSU olding a 41-21 advantage.

Dang, Farley, Did you lose a bad bet or something?
April 25, 2008 at 8:36 pm |
GG, from your view was he out or safe at home?
April 25, 2008 at 8:46 pm |
I thought he was safe. But the replay someone up here had showed that his hand didn’t touch the plate.
April 25, 2008 at 8:54 pm |
Free baseball.
Thanks to Cody Freeman’s ground-out RBI that scored Ryan Collins, we move to the 10th tied a 3-apiece. Collins led off the frame with a triple.
April 25, 2008 at 9:05 pm |
We’re still gonna lose, cause we suck.
April 25, 2008 at 9:06 pm |
Least the UT baseball team and softball team could travel together. Although, I wouldn’t hit any of those girls with draws ….
April 25, 2008 at 9:09 pm |
Weatherford is super human!
April 25, 2008 at 9:17 pm |
Weatherford is unreal. What a great story.
April 25, 2008 at 9:19 pm |
did weatherford give you any off the record info on the upcoming draft and his plans?
April 25, 2008 at 9:19 pm |
What did I miss?
April 25, 2008 at 9:21 pm |
in extras farley. weathford is unhittable. he got us out of a huge jam in top on tenth.
April 25, 2008 at 9:25 pm |
Good deal. No reception in Oxford. Where the heck is everybody?
April 25, 2008 at 9:26 pm |
it is friday night, i assume they are where all the people with lives meet. haha
April 25, 2008 at 9:26 pm |
Statefan, he told me he would wait until the end of the season. I have a feeling he’ll leave.
April 25, 2008 at 9:27 pm |
You got a big unhuman size noggin!
April 25, 2008 at 9:28 pm |
GG you get alot of off the record info dont you? I need to be an inside man so i can have the info on all the good stuff. Did you know Byrne was gonna be the AD beforehand also?
April 25, 2008 at 9:30 pm |
Farley i went back to oxford a few weeks ago and checked out the new hibatchi grill over on west jackson. Kabuki is the name of it I believe. Its pretty good. If you havent checked it out, you should. Ask for a guy named Li to be your cook. Good food and a good time.
April 25, 2008 at 9:32 pm |
I went and it made the wife barf. Had sushi and the baby did not like it. Go to Casa Mexicana next time you’re here. Best Mexican food I’ve ever eaten.
April 25, 2008 at 9:33 pm |
Weatherford is making them look like tee ballers.
April 25, 2008 at 9:33 pm |
Is that the old El Charro?
April 25, 2008 at 9:36 pm |
Yup. It’s wonderful. Love the food and they have 32oz XX’s for $3!
April 25, 2008 at 9:36 pm |
Farley, that sounds like my kinda place. But of course, I’m going to be here covering a 30-inning game.
State fan, if I could write a book on inside info that’s off the record, it would be a best seller.
April 25, 2008 at 9:39 pm |
I believe it GG. Do you have to earn that access to the inside info or is it standard practice to let beat writers in on it?
April 25, 2008 at 9:40 pm |
Also I want to ask this and i wont dig anymore, im just curious…..Do you have any inside info on the baseball coach search?
April 25, 2008 at 9:47 pm |
How did Grisham do? He was my boy when he went to Booneville. Haven’t seen him since he graduated.
April 25, 2008 at 9:49 pm |
You have to earn the trust of the coaches first. When they trust you, you get the info.
So far, warbirdz, he’s 1-for-4 with an RBI. Where have you been lately?
April 25, 2008 at 9:51 pm |
I noticed the no comment on the coaching search. ill take that as yes you have inside info. haha
April 25, 2008 at 9:57 pm |
My bad. Actually, I don’t.
April 25, 2008 at 9:59 pm |
Game still going on?
April 25, 2008 at 10:00 pm |
we just won. busby base hit into left to drive in a run.
April 25, 2008 at 10:01 pm |
Wooooooohoooooooooo! I’ll drink another beer then!
April 25, 2008 at 10:01 pm |
Dogs win 4-3 in 12.
Michael Busby, who hasn’t batted all year, had the game winner on a bases-loaded single
April 25, 2008 at 10:11 pm |
Good win tonight, I left in the seventh but was listening to Jim. Crosswhite looked sharp, but the third, and Weatherford just sounded dominate. Good win to build on.
April 25, 2008 at 10:26 pm |
Sounds like i missed a good one tonight!
Gregg, being the Yankees fan you are, is the rumor true that a redsox fan snuck into the new stadium and buried a yankee jersey at home plate?
April 25, 2008 at 10:27 pm |
i mean red sox jersey
April 25, 2008 at 10:55 pm |
Here ya go spear.
April 25, 2008 at 10:58 pm |
Nah. One buried jersey is enough.
April 26, 2008 at 10:05 pm |
Gregg, to answer where I’ve been lately, I’ve just been busy being a senior in HS and my internet has been down some too.
April 26, 2008 at 10:14 pm |
Speaking of high school. Anybody know who Tupelo is playing next? Ole Miss commit Kyle Thornton got lit up like a christmas tree again today. I wonder if Bianco is having second thoughts about him. The surgery has really hurt his game.
April 27, 2008 at 9:00 am |
Well, birdz, this blog certainly doesn’t want to keep you from graduating. Now go study.
