Auburn baseball celebrates

Hey everyone. Your Auburn Tigers of baseball notoriety rallied for a 3-2 win against Alabama on Thursday night. Brian Fletcher, whom you see pictured above, drew a bases-loaded walk in the 10th inning to seal the deal.

Fellow Advertiser hack Tim Gayle had this to say about last night's drama:

AUBURN -- The seventh blown save of the season was likely the final blow to Alabama's Southeastern Conference title hopes.

Brian Fletcher drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 10th to force across the winning run as Auburn defeated the 10th-ranked Crimson Tide 3-2 at Plainsman Park on Thursday night.

The loss, coupled with LSU's victory over Mississippi State, Florida's win over Kentucky and Mississippi's win over Arkansas, dropped Alabama to fourth place in the standings, a game and a half behind the Tigers and a half-game behind the Gators and the Rebels with two games remaining.

wartiger said...: Early new thread!! I like it...; 6:51 AM
Seanzie said...: Luv, in response to your question, I'm going to get my new clubs fitted and I'm probably going to get my swing fixed by a pro before I make another purchase. It is definitely on the to-do list.; 6:51 AM
Norm said...: Morning Hotties - I fondly remember the days when I could play golf regularly and managed to get myself a respectable handicap. Those days are gone.; 7:10 AM
Anonymous said...: Seanzie, those are steps in the right direction! I really need to get my swing fixed too.

gatiger, I'm sure you're handicap isn't as bad as mine.; 7:13 AM

Beating UAT and ruining chances for postseason play (when there's no chance in hell Auburn is going anyway) - Priceless!

I own golf clubs. I play maybe 8-10 times a year. I don't keep score. I slice with an occasional crushing drive and I have a lot of fun on the course. I primarily play the Trojan Oaks in Troy. Why? 1)It's rather inexpensive 2)I don't get run off the course by want-to-be PGA tour golfer (no offense to anyone here).

Golf is fun. I plan to keep it that way.; 7:14 AM
Norm said...: Luv - when I was a member of a club in the gump and played quite often, I got it down to a fairly respectable -11. Nowadays, I play less than half dozen times a year. It's just not the priority for me it once was, I don't know how to compact my schedule or what to eliminate from it to allow me to play more often. Since the cub is showing definite signs of athleticism, maybe he'll have an inclination for golf and we can get out and play.; 7:18 AM
Seanzie said...: Norm, where did you find that shiner?; 7:18 AM
Norm said...: The real story isn't near as interesting as the many possible scenarios which could've brought about the shiner. Around the office, I'm going with that the wife gave me a beatdown which most of the coworkers can appreciate since they know my meek and mild-mannered wife.

In actuality it came about while playing with the son and a ball was involved.; 7:22 AM
Seanzie said...: The real stories aren't usually as good...but your 2 y.o. with that southpaw w/ that mean 2 seamer caught ya by surprise right? I mean that's uber interesting.; 7:27 AM
ehyou said...: My clubs are too short for me. This causes bad things to happen during my swing. It also forces me into some bad habits in an effort to compensate. Golf clubs are expensive so I guess I'll just keep hacking away.; 7:32 AM

Auburn at Arkansas
Alabama at Ole Miss
Florida at LSU

WDCWE said...: That was a great game last night. I am proud to say that I was in attendance. If you ever get a chance to catch a game at Plainsman Park, (you have today and tomorrow for this season) be sure to sit on the third base side behind the hecklers. They are well worth the price of admission.; 7:40 AM
Miller said...: I wonder how much it would cost to have my clubs adjusted/fitted to fit my swing? Would it really make that big of a difference?

Miller said...: Also, can anyone tell me what it costs to have my clubs re-gripped?; 8:07 AM
Anonymous said...: They're all hard for me, but, I don't think Ballantrae is as hard as Timberline.; 8:08 AM
Seanzie said...: Miller, I know the PGA Tour Superstores up here in Atlanta do a pretty good job and have competitive prices on golf club customization. It's not that far of a haul to the southside.; 8:09 AM
Anonymous said...: Hole #2 at Ballantrae is a killer!; 8:09 AM
Anonymous said...: D. Miller, check out either Golfsmith or Edwin Watts. Golfsmith is on 280 in Inverness and there are two Edwin Watts: one in Vestavia on Hwy 31 and one on 280.; 8:12 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Miller- club regripping is usually the cost of the grip plus $2 per club. Grips run from $3-$10 depending on what you want. Any golf store or proshop will usually do this.; 8:14 AM
ehyou said...: d miller...
Re-grip your clubs yourself. It's way easy.; 8:15 AM
Miller said...: Ballantrae is a beautiful course. #1 is an intimidating start - having to carry the tee shot 200+ over water and a front bunker to get to the fairway. I knew I was in for a long day starting off that way.
My driver was up for the challenge. Too bad the rest of my clubs weren't.

Luv,
Is there a good course in the area that doesn't cost quite so much to play? I have a charity tourney coming up at the end of the month and need some practice before then.
Is there at least a good range around to go hit at?; 8:17 AM

ehyou said...: pfffft...Dunwoody. Nothing but a bunch of yuppies. You better drink them silly Seanzie.; 8:26 AM
Miller said...: If anyone else is interested in getting up a team for the tournament, let me know and I will get you the details on how to sign up. They are also looking for sponsors. Tourney format is 4 man scramble and is being held at Chesley Oaks Golf Course in Fairview, AL (just outside of Cullman).

The tournament, the Kris Banister Memorial, is named in honor of my cousin who died from cancer a few years ago. Proceeds of the charity event go to benefit the Alabama Baptist Children's Home in Decatur. This is a wonderful charity that I have seen first hand have a positive impact on a child's life and their family.; 8:28 AM
Norm said...: Sean - we have similar plans for the weekend. It'll be just the Golden Retriever and I in the house for the weekend while the wife goes to the beach with the girls and the son spends the weekend at the grandparents. So, what crazy things are on tap for me you ask? Tonight - catch up on DVR shows which don't interest the missus. Tommorrow - run 16 miles in the morning, pig out, work in the yard on various projects, watch more tv at night (I now have a crapload of new HD channels). Sunday - teach the kids Sunday School class, lunch, go to a movie.

It'll be CRAZY man.; 8:31 AM

Anonymous said...: D. Miller, Hole #2 is the one with the water; the one that doglegs left. Timberline has a nice range with a nice chipping area. Montevallo is pretty cheap. It's not very pretty, but it's cheap. There's also Oak Mountain, but you have to pay $3 to get into the park. Highland Park, which is downtown, is about $49 on the weekends.; 8:49 AM

Special agents with the Alabama Department of Revenue raided Crown Motors locations in Gadsden, Fort Payne and Anniston this morning as well as the accounting firm of Kirkland and Co., according to the department.
The agents had court-issued search warrants and were "getting records," according to Eddie Crumbley, director of investigations for the department.
Crumbley said the agents were assisted by agents with the FBI and local law enforcement agencies.
Agents prevented people from entering or leaving the locations temporarily until all the information they wanted was collected, Crumbley said.
Crumbley declined further comment, saying it would not be appropriate at this time.
Agents still were at Crown Motors in Gadsden Thursday afternoon.
A spokeswoman for the Alabama Department of Revenue said the department collects almost 50 different state taxes including sales tax, business privilege taxes, gasoline taxes and corporate and personal income taxes.
Phone calls to Crown in Gadsden and Kirkland were not answered this morning.; 10:20 AM

Norm said...: I carry the PGA allowed limit of clubs in my bag. I'd highly recommend using every club in your bag at least once until you settle upon your own personal favorite to be used for this purpose. It's all in course management when you're on the course so in this matter it may be that a different club serves your purposes better depending on the specific UAT fan/target. i.e., if the target in question happens to be the stereotypical fat redneck type, you may find that whatever brand of large driver you use to be the best club here. However, if your target happens to be a set of blond twins then I'd suggest using something more delicate like your groove brush or towel. And with those targets in mind, you should repeat the process often.; 1:45 PM

Are the HABOTN FAQs available in compiled version other than in the archives?; 3:58 PM

Jet said...: Steve ...

You are absolutely correct. The shot is known as a "Bamagan." You can replay from the original spot, or any spot of your choosing without penalty.; 4:54 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Xaff, arrgghh...well, you warned me! Now I've gotta go back and look at the AU one again so I don't start my weekend off on the wrong foot. Take care of yourself over there!; 4:56 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Jet, "any spot of your choosing" - excellent! Perhaps this will encourage all AU golfers to strive for Bamagans. There is the risk of missing and having your ball end up out of bounds, etc., but the double reward would be so worth it.; 5:02 PM
Jet said...: Sorry, just looked up the "Bamagan" rule. Here it is.

If a legally played shot strikes a UAT fan, player, coach, employee, or any one person or object with the taint of the Infidels, you have the following options:

a. Play the ball as it lies, preferably between the eyes of the Infidel; or

b. Any one of the following:

1. The original spot; or
2. The 150-yard marker; or
3. Adjacent to the nearest cart girl; or
4. Any spot of your choosing.; 5:08 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Okay, now I will start my weekend with a grin on my face! I love knowing the official Bamagan rule. Perhaps I'll hand out flyers to the players at The Regions this weekend so they can refamiliarize themselves before starting their rounds.; 5:13 PM

Unknown said...: MrSec.com rates Rollison as the #2 freshman QB in the SEC. How likely is Malzahn to decide to go with the guy with the hopes of developing a four year starter at QB?; 6:15 PM
Anonymous said...: ESPN reports that JC Watts is being paid over $600k to lobby congress on behalf of the BCS.

I guess the BCS must be all about $$$ and not the sportsmanship of playng for a championship????

Those bowls are supposed to be non profit/charity type organizations. It's one of the arguments for keeping the bowls. Where did the $$$ originate???; 6:23 PM

So it ain't over yet.; 7:51 PM

Monica said...: so, suit up! :-); 8:28 PM
