Well the baseball season is in the books. We had a respectable regular season. Qualified for 3rd place overall in the mighty SSS EEE CCC. The Missouri series still boggles my mind. How they lost 2/3 is a mystery but it is what it is.
Tanner the outfielder that hits everything thrown to him is the SEC player of the year. Tanner the catcher is all SEC along with the major league pitcher posing as our closer. Even when he has a bad day it's still better than just about anyone else college or pro. And for the people who say our coach isn't great (and you know who you are) I like the job he's doing and believe that he may take us to the land of milk and honey as Gentleman Jack used to say. Maybe this year, maybe.
Bubba Earl and I finally bonded out over in T-Town. Bubba was impressed that the Tupelo Flash came with us. He tried to match drink for drink, because after all Bubba is a professional drinker. Alas, he was no match for Flash. He was embarrassed and mad about that fact. It didn't help that the whole outfield area was calling him a sissy communist sympathizer who couldn't hold his likker. So he did what came natural and stole a cop car. The cops in championship city don't take kindly to those types of things. I thought they would let him off with a warning until Flash said something about Saban and farm animals. They told me later that they whipped my butt and arrested me on principle since I was in the car with the other 2 degenerates. The fine for stealing was $200 and the fine for talking about you know who was $1000. We were told to never return if we knew what was good for us. I said see you next spring. Flash says come hell or high water we were coming back and would steal Saban's car just because. Anyway, the team beat up their team all 3 games and you don't have to wait till closing time for the girls to get pretty. There were some sure enough beautiful lady folks at all 3 games. The blonde in the outfield was especially lovely but that's a story for another day.
Hoover is next on the agenda. Is the tourney a good thing? Really only for teams trying to make the post season. A few years ago it was Mississippi day at the stadium. Ole Miss and State and all the haters in the stands. A great ballgame with very little bloodshed. It was a treat. Really the only blood was when Bubba kept feeding these RebelBearShark fans Budweiser by the gallon. He convinced one of them to ring a cowbell. As soon as he did, the other Sharks jumped and beat him up pretty good. Fun times.
Until next time.
