Well, that was about the craziest game in the history of baseball (or atleast the craziest couple of innings). The Cougs survived, thanks to a huge sixth-inning.
Chad Arnold is expected to start. If you believe in prayer, pray for his arm. If you believe in positive energy, send that to his arm. If you are a physician who specializes in re-attaching limbs, we'll put you on speed dial.
And yes, you are allowed to discuss that "other" big news today. No one is going to stop you.
EDIT: James Wise started his second game of the day. All of what I said still stands.

Oh my
I hope the bullpen found a quick healer for their arms. This is why we needed yesterday.
by Brian Floyd on Jun 6, 2010 5:05 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
That could happen.
They just said on the broadcast that Arnold was starting.

on the plus side
it’s the arkansas radio feed, meaning more bacon commercials
Hate that guy.
The camera always breaks away before he makes the call.

I would take a 10 run loss to see a mammoth fall.

keep hitting stop and play
it’ll work eventually
There is an "audio" button right above the video button.
Make sure you didn’t press that.

Yep.
I love going to the Nashville Sounds (AAA) games down here. They are shade of two hours usually.

It's so f-ing humid down here.
Somedays I wish I could just stroll around in nothing.

so the PSA from the Arkansas Dept of Education can be summarized as "Chew is as bad for you as smokes"
we need to play arkansas every game
the process they use to make the marinade injectable is amazing
you can’t use just any marinade.
<<if you pull the key off you cant hit that little nub thingy under it and type, just an FYI>>
I take it that Bartlett is still our little engine that could.

according to the KSU broadcast
that’s the best kind of pitch.
Watching these Weeble Wobbles
On the game cast, i actually caught myself saying “THAT WAS A STRIKE, Ump!” I have forgotten what watching real human beings play this game is like.
I love the weeble wobbles though.
I wish we could transpose them into the live video feed.
CougCenter WSU's second main blog
This is how i watch most Mariner games...
because of my work schedule (at work rght now in fact, shhhhh), and one time i swear I saw the Milton Bradley weeble wobble check his swing.

For most of the season I had no idea what we looked like even though I followed them closely.

I forget how much smaller college baseball players are than MLB guys.

Top of the third and not one Stanford reference.

so Bartlett has grounded into two psuedo double plays
playing possum
Nice
beaner on an 0-2 pitch. that was something we’d do
They haev the "find your own diamond" mines.
Remember that from my trip there.
CougCenter WSU's second main blog
they were pretty impressive in the 8th inning
and they started the redneck wave.
strikeout with the bases loaded
i remember you.
And we apparently have to swing at all of them
None of them are in the strike zone, yet we keep chasing them.
For as many times as he threw it
You’d think he would have been able to square the one that he actually threw in the strike zone, instead of pounding it into the ground.
Paging Pedro Cerreno and Jobu
Jobu to the Cougar dugout.

we're cougs
i’m next to positive we drank all Jobu’s rum
will a bucket of chicken work?
I’ll bet we could find some bacon wrapped friend chicken in the house
i'd be interested to see what our BABIP is this weekend
seems like all our outs are Ks
Moron cameraman.
You struggled so hard to get it, then you go right away from it.

sometimes when you get two strikes
on Cox that is when the battle begins- sometimes… not. K
If you can't Go Cougs... don't go.
Sometimes pitchers throw sliders in the dirt.
Sometimes batters swing at them.

If you guys don't mind...
I’d like to request game threads for Mariner games as well. They enhance my gamecast experience exponentially and are much better than almost any TV or radio play by play.
HOLY cow, i watched that Pride & Pred with the lil lady this weekend. It was about 7 hours. Mercy.
You can put them up in the fanposts if you want.
I’m sure people will participate. Or you could go to Lookout Landing’s threads. They are a million times more insane than these.
CougCenter WSU's second main blog
I have a hard time with LL game threads
SO MANY COMMENTS. It’s seriously impossible to follow the game if you try and follow the comments.
Yeah, that is why I stay away from them.
I’m pretty sure most on there are only half paying attention the game. They have 2500 comments on some games.
CougCenter WSU's second main blog
i don't know if these are anything like LL's threads
it’s half REALLY SMART people that i’m intimidated to talk to and half F-bombs.
Yeah, the smart people are scary.
Especially if you don’t like their choice in music or something.

THAT UMPIRE WAS ALL "FOOOOOLED YOU, IT'S A STRIKE"
AND THEN THAT HITTER WAS ALL “WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA???”
Where is Grady (period)?
I feel he’s going to be upset when someone finally falls down those stairs

This is kind of unreal.
I almost wrote us off in the third inning of the KSU game, now we are up 6-1 in this game.

By the way, totally off topic.
But I’m going to post a series of links in about 20 minutes that you all are going to find very intriguing.
This is what we in the business call a teaser.
My curiousity has been piqued.

OT but does anyone know how the payout system works?
Do the Cougs get a cut of the gate each game or does every team who makes the field of 64 just get a lump sum or something completely different.
*ahem*
they’re paid in marinade-injected bacon
also- fine meat
If you can't Go Cougs... don't go.

well, if there's one thing i've learned this weekend
7-3 is two worse than 7-1

I. . . what?
I remember when we had Bradley, I was afraid of the day they decided to play him in the field. Of course, it happened. And, of course, he got hurt.
I don’t know why teams continue to pretend he isn’t fragile.
arkansas' goal is apparently to not allow runs
we should try that too
i always summer in little rock
so this may be an issue
We could go for a short jaunt up to Fayetteville.
Although I’m not sure a day will be enough for all the activities.

And we have no chance of scoring any more runs.

baylor does not have an sbnation site
Does this broadcast seem like it’s from the 90’s anyone?
Duck season tickets for Christmas = Best Christmas EVER.
if you had been paying attention
the color guy deemed the cougars are done scoring for the evening.
I almost feel obligated to stop watching.
I get home from the gym and start watching the game when its 7-1…
Excellent third strike hitter--
twice tonight cox has big hype w/ 2 and K’d love it

More crazy expansion stuff
Did you know K-State and KSU have to stay in the same conference per state law?
Also, Larry Scott wants us playing games in Asia
True story.
China is a HUGE basketball market now… I’m actually willing to suggest we take a broader look at recruiting there.
6 more outs...
So they are due for two more homers. We need some more runs.

Dear Announcer
that’s what happens when you openly assume our #3 hitter will ground into a double play
Sure double play ball booted by Arkansas.
Run scores, puts us up 9-6.
CougCenter WSU's second main blog
Just turned on the video feed
Are these the worse announcers in the world? FSN should hire them ASAP.
don't remember
all the ’shoulda’s’ last night when the Cougs booted it away…
If you can't Go Cougs... don't go.
I can't stop thinking about how this should be the end of the regional.
Instead of having to play a game tomorrow.
The runners advance at their own risk
Besides, the infield fly rule is for routine pop flies. Did that look routine to you?

Pop-uppy thing on the infield was dropped and the runners advanced.
CougCenter WSU's second main blog
there's something wrong here
we were assured the cougars were done scoring tonight.
"I'm gonna tell ya'...
“Shoulda’ been outta’ da’ inning”
oh i love this
where was all the bitching last night when the runner going into the infield to avoid the tag and was called safe and should’ve been the 3rd out?
Honestly, I don't think that infield fly call was as bad as these guys do
The key word in the rule book is routine. At what point can the umpire decide it’s routine? At any point. Did that look routine to anyone else? Three guys converged, and they ended up dropping it. Honestly, I think the right call would have been to NOT call it an infield fly at all.
I know these guys are homers. But they need to shut up about it.

What was the situation on the fly?
by Brian Floyd on Jun 6, 2010 8:02 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
you are correct sir
It is not automatic. It is a judgement call. Unarguable by rule.
If you can't Go Cougs... don't go.
by hollyweirdcoug on Jun 6, 2010 8:04 PM PDT up reply actions
I thought the entire purpose of the infield fly rule was
to prevent infielders from intentionally dropping easy popups and turning double plays, not to cover for your thirdbaseman who cant catch a popup.

The name "Tim Carver" makes me cringe every time.
I think I’m about to hear some stupid faux poetic wrong-headed analysis.
was that a home run?
looked like it went off the top of the wall
if only jones would have been inside the wall he would have been perfect in RF
silly Cougs just can’t figure this “out field” thing out
If you can't Go Cougs... don't go.
2 outs Cougs all is well

I think he wants Shewey to start tomorrow
He’s only thrown to one batter today. If Arnold can keep his arm attached to his shoulder, that’s going to be large.

before your filth came along and ruined it
"Hogs need runs any way they can get em"
i think he’s said that 4 times now
i am absolutely spent just from watching
i can’t imagine what it would’ve been like to play those two games
It may be the Coug guys on the call.
Since we will be the home team.
