[Update:] Horns win the Big XII, again. Texas used an 11 run 4th inning to pull ahead and held on despite some Austin Wood wildness in the 9th for a 12-7 win.
Missouri and A&M won yesterday so Texas will see Missouri in the championship game today at 1 PM on FSN. This game could be important for which seed Texas gets but is unlikely to affect whether the Horns host either a regional or super. That announcement will be made at 2:30 PM today, with the full seedings to be announced tomorrow at 11:30 AM. Thanks to 16.2 innings of beautiful starting over the last two days the Horns have a fresh bullpen, hopefully they can become the first team since Nebraska in 2005 to win the regular season and postseason Big XII titles.
PROBABLE PITCHING MATCHUPS
Texas: RHP Brandon Workman (3-3, 3.39 ERA)
Missouri: LHP Scooter Hicks (5-2, 3.70 ERA)

Our win yesterday (with ASU's loss) moved us to #2 in the RPI
ahead of ASU and UNC.
Texas Wahoo - May 24, 2009
So if we win, do we get the national #1 seed?
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
I think we'd have earned it
but if they go with Irvine, then that’s A-OK by me too.
amorphous - May 24, 2009
Going to be a tad late for this one
Hopefully it’ll be good luck again
40AS - May 24, 2009
Belt is ready
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Hyperspeed!
horndude - May 24, 2009
Anyone know where I can find a stream of the game on the net?
I have exhausted most of my normally reliables
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
it's on FSN
amorphous - May 24, 2009
Yea, but I haven’t been able to find a place to watch it on the internet. (I’m at work)
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Can't find it - don't have FSN subscription.
Suckage! Anyone have a non-Yahoo audio stream?
horndude - May 24, 2009
Only thing I could find was
gamecast
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Ugh, ugly throw to 2nd. Two stolen bases for Mizzou
HornPossessed - May 24, 2009
This is the Mizzou live stream. Couldnt find one that worked outta Austin. Radio=
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Finally got it working
with my third browser choice. Thanks.
horndude - May 24, 2009
haha no problem
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009

Solo HR from Preston Clark
HornPossessed - May 24, 2009
That's what I'm talking about.
horndude - May 24, 2009
I wasn't expecting much from him today, so that's a nice addition.
HornPossessed - May 24, 2009
His first HR this year.
horndude - May 24, 2009
maybe i should stay gone longer
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Workman out Dicharry in
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Grounder to Torres throw hits runner at first. 1 on
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Error goes to Torres
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Ok, I'm back
For those that were wondering, the building museum in DC is only so-so
40AS - May 24, 2009
Double play on grounder to Belt
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Grounder to Loy ends the inning
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Groundout to Loy ends top 4
1-1
40AS - May 24, 2009
You able to get the game on FSN in DC?
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Yup
No problems here
40AS - May 24, 2009
I always had problems getting games in Little Rock
think they did that on purpose
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Belt gets hit. 1 on no outs
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Torres base hit to right moves Belt to third. 2 on no outs
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Belt got lucky
He hesitated and probably should’ve been thrown out
40AS - May 24, 2009
Yea thats what the radio guys said.
They also mentioned that if the throw wasn’t cut off, it probably would have gone to right
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
umm make that left. Hit into right
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
The RF came up throwing
But he caught the SS in a weird position and he couldn’t get much on the relay. Just a strange play
40AS - May 24, 2009
Mizzou changing pitchers.
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Glad to see Rupp at least filling the DH spot
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Just beat me to it
40AS - May 24, 2009
great minds
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Good to see Rupp in the lineup
Injury probably not too serious
40AS - May 24, 2009
yea his sternum/finger injury
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Rupp walks bases full
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
LOY!
2 RBI single
40AS - May 24, 2009
grounder to left. 3-1 Horns
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Woo hoo
the train is rolling.
horndude - May 24, 2009
haha still no outs with 2 on
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
we need good double to right center Keyes
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Or a homer
40AS - May 24, 2009
I wasn't trying to be greedy, but since you brought it up
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Kinda surprising
Keyes is #1 on the team in strikeouts (not surprising)
40AS - May 24, 2009
That should read #2 in walks
40AS - May 24, 2009
That is weird
You would think #1 in strikeouts he is not patient at the plate, but #2 in walks contradicts it
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Yup
His OBP is almost .400 even though he’s batting below .300
40AS - May 24, 2009
I guess Augie can live with the lower BA
as long as his OBP stays high. But you would think it would catch with him eventually
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
walk bases loaded
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Mizzou changing pitchers. Bases loaded 0 outs 3-1 horns
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Wow
That ball was hammered, thought it left the park
40AS - May 24, 2009
Did if fall?
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Clark hit brings home runner. 4-1 horns
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
4-1!!
I smell blood.
horndude - May 24, 2009
Remember Baylor :)
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Seems like a lifetime ago
40AS - May 24, 2009
Sac fly plates runner 5-1 1 out
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Preston smoked a ball to deep left center
Wind killed it and the LF fell just before it landed. Ended up a warning track single because the runners had to hold up
40AS - May 24, 2009
Even the the announcers on the radio were like wait what happened
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Balk advances the runners
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
more importantly takes the double play away
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Rowe gets hit. Bases loaded
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Thanks for the updates, just got in and watchin' the Rangers beat Astros 5-0 on FSN
No Horns game….
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
I'll be at the Rangers/Yanks game tomorrow.
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
You're one lucky dude! Do you think we'll have more Texas fans this time?
I went last time and was so annoyed with all the damn yankee “fans”….
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
Man the last time we were there it was the same way.
My cousin is a Yanks fan and Im rangers so we’ve been like the last 4 years in a row. Always more yanks fans
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
It's funny when the rangers are actually doin' well how many fans are attending the games..
Where you live?
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
Texarkana.
About a 2 hour drive for us
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
not bad, dad lives in FW or still has a place there.....
grew up in Abilene, so drove 2 1/2 hours for games
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
No not bad at all. All interstate.
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
True, I-20 all the way
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
Actually its 30. 20 goes through Marshall and Tyler
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
If the red sox come to town, there's all the dbag kids from the burbs that have a sox hat
to match their abercrombie outfit…
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
Haha. so true
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
This inning kinda defines our offense
HBP, single through the right side, BB, single, sac fly, balk, HBP
40AS - May 24, 2009
And a third HBP plates a run
6-1
40AS - May 24, 2009
Belt grounder to first ball comes home to get lead runner. 2 away bases full
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
And water is wet
NCAA just announced an Austin regional
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=4202816
40AS - May 24, 2009
Any of those surprise you?
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
East Carolina
Only because CUSA’s been weak. Not sure other than that
40AS - May 24, 2009
So do we get paired with TCU regional?
patienthornsfan - May 24, 2009
Seedings and pairings announced tomorrow at 11:30
40AS - May 24, 2009
Come on Torres
2 out Grand Slam, por favor.
horndude - May 24, 2009
Walk scores a run 7-1 Horns bottom 4
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
GRAND SLAM RUPP!
40AS - May 24, 2009
Hell yeah!
Is that two on the day?
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
Clark hit the first one
40AS - May 24, 2009
11-1!
Ten run inning!
40AS - May 24, 2009
damn
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
That was to dead straight away center
40AS - May 24, 2009
Thats a big park too right? 415?
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
To left center it is
I think 400 to straight away center
40AS - May 24, 2009
I need video
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
It was absolutely hammered
40AS - May 24, 2009
Loy triple. Hits keep coming
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Another pitching change
Jeez
40AS - May 24, 2009
10 runs
1 out that failed to plate a runner
40AS - May 24, 2009
11 runs . . .
. . . on 6 hits.
JeffTweedyIsGod - May 24, 2009
Seriously
40AS - May 24, 2009
Awesome
even on streaming Mizzou radio.
horndude - May 24, 2009
Yup. These guys are a lot better than the ones from the Big 12 site
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
No complaints today
but I’d love to be hearing Craig’s voice crack instead. ;-)
horndude - May 24, 2009
Me too. I tried to find it but no luck
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Keyes doubles
12-1
40AS - May 24, 2009
Hit for the cycle this inning :-)
40AS - May 24, 2009
haha the team
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Thats the good Keyes
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Inning summary:
15 batters, 4 pitchers, 5 hits, 12 runs
40AS - May 24, 2009
11 runs
patienthornsfan - May 24, 2009
Getting ahead of myself there
40AS - May 24, 2009
12 was actually likely.
horndude - May 24, 2009
If Keyes keeps developing, he's gonna make a major league team very happy one day...
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
Yea
Last year — 24 Ks in 59 ABs, 4 BBs
This year — 42 Ks in 167 ABs, 23 BBs
40AS - May 24, 2009
Damn 40! You're good.
He’ll probably be drafted a little higher than the 25th round that he was drafted in couple years ago…
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
Clark popped out
12-1 through 4
40AS - May 24, 2009
What is Clark thinking? Ending this inning
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Hey sneezy, is Hamilton back yet?
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
U know it! Dropped a bomb in the first inning.
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
Just got a single into right field this at bat
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
Good deal. Can't stand to be witness to another Ranger loss to the Yankees in person.
Also, I believe Colt is throwing out the first pitch. That should be good for the OU fans in attendance.
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Strike 3 called. 1 away
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Triple scores 1 12-2 Horns
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Single scores another one 12-3 Horns
patienthornsfan - May 24, 2009
Single scores 1 12-3 Horns
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Pitching change?
patienthornsfan - May 24, 2009
Yes please
horndude - May 24, 2009
Now's the time, Skip
patienthornsfan - May 24, 2009
Fly out limits the damage
… but that was a shaky inning for Dicharry, and it’s too soon for Wood. Who else we got?
patienthornsfan - May 24, 2009
Another bad throw by Clark
Rusty much?
patienthornsfan - May 24, 2009
Mizzou announcer
just called us t.u. Closet aggy.
horndude - May 24, 2009
Wow, so terrible....
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
He's just mad about another beat down
40AS - May 24, 2009
Glad they don't have Aaron Crowe this year....
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
Rowe strikes out 2 away
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Tucker ground out ends bottom 5 12-4 horns
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Nats up 8-5 heading to the 9th
My guess is the Os will win it 9-8
40AS - May 24, 2009
Not much confidence in your team?
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Bullpen is 2-16 this year with 13 blown saves
So…no
40AS - May 24, 2009
eww. no more needs to be said.
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
I used to have to go to Aberdeen for training
made it to Camden Yards, but never caught a Nats game
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Cole Green in for the Horns
40AS - May 24, 2009
Thanks Skip
patienthornsfan - May 24, 2009
I'm kinda glad they left Dicharry in
Let him work through some difficulty
40AS - May 24, 2009
Backward K 1 away
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Grounder to Loy 2 away
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
What a great inning by Loy
And the Nats win!
WOO!
40AS - May 24, 2009
U like the Natinals?
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
When in Rome...
40AS - May 24, 2009
Ha, yes Mr. Burgundy. You see earlier in the year when they forgot to sew on the O?
Their uniforms said NATINALS, haha
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
I did see that
It was…fitting
40AS - May 24, 2009
Haha, at least you can laugh about it
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
It's hard to take them seriously
Once they get Strasburg one would think they’d start to draw a little better
40AS - May 24, 2009
They were talking about what they might offer him
it is really going to set the bar high
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
I think it's just posturing by Boras
We’ll see though. It’s not really in Strasburg’s interest to go back to school for another year. He risks injury and can’t really improve his draft position, plus he’ll be a year older and still not in the majors
40AS - May 24, 2009
The way it sounds,
the Nationals would pay him just to get the arm and the fan draw. I think they mentioned like 25million signing bonus. Crazy numbers
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
He's a lot better option than Crowe, but
if he messes up his elbow, that may be it for his pitching days.
SneezyBeltran - May 24, 2009
It was funny. I think it made the 10 worst on ESPN
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Green did well also
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Haha
Meant Green :-)
40AS - May 24, 2009
Ha I knew what you meant.
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Belt singles to right
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Need another 11 runs here...
horndude - May 24, 2009
Double play 2 away
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Strikeout ends the inning. Going to the top of 7. 12-4 Horns
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Wow
Torres backhanded it over the bag and fired a strike to first, great play for the first out
40AS - May 24, 2009
Then another great play
This time from Loy, 2 away
40AS - May 24, 2009
Radio guy called him Low
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
2 out walk 1 on
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Fly out to left ends the half inning
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
So will Green stay in to finish off the last 6 outs?
patienthornsfan - May 24, 2009
I think if he stays out of trouble he will. If not we will see Wood
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
error gets Loy to first. 0 outs 1 on
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Loy
9-14 for the tourney…who’s your MVP?
40AS - May 24, 2009
Giraffe is 8-15
40AS - May 24, 2009
Loy had 3 errors yesterday tho
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Ya
That’s why I’d hesitate. I think Chance Ruffin’s CG was the most important performance, rested the bullpen and gave them room to recover. Also Jungmann yesterday
40AS - May 24, 2009
Yea I think Ruffin's game was the most important,
but I would think the MOP voters go to more offense than pitching
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
I would take Belt
or Jungmann
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Double play ball by bad Keyes. 2 outs Mizzou changing pitchers
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Announcer I'm listening to has Belt and Rowe on all tournament team
(His ballot)
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
12-4 to the top of 8. Green still in
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Or Loy if your 40
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Loy does it all IMO
40AS - May 24, 2009
HaHa. I think we need a giraffe on the mound.
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
He pitched last year :)
40AS - May 24, 2009
Must have been an ugly game one way or the other
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
I think he pitched quite a bit
In relief, dedicated full time to 1B this season
40AS - May 24, 2009
Thats right I remember that now.
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
He was 1-0 in 17 innings with a 4.08 ERA
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
LSU & Virginia win respective tournaments
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Green fans first batter of inning. 1 away
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
The aforementioned giraffe
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Walk 2 on
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Wood? Or let Green work his way out?
patienthornsfan - May 24, 2009
Still 12-4 to the bottom of 8
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Green stays in. Fly out to center ends the half inning
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Probably Wood
May be Carillo or somebody (McKirahan?) to get the final 3 outs
40AS - May 24, 2009
How are the teams divided up for regionals?
They draw names out the hat?
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
I think it's the same as basketball
Selection committee and whatnot
40AS - May 24, 2009
Ahh ok.
Is it like higher rank team plays lower ranked team
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
8 national seeds will be matched up with the other 8 teams
Not sure if the other 8 are ranked or are matched via geography
40AS - May 24, 2009
Something like
this
But that is yesterday’s guess.
horndude - May 24, 2009
7 Big 12 teams projected in. Not bad
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Texas and OU are hosting regionals..
LINK,.
the1austin - May 24, 2009

NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Green still in for the 9th
40AS - May 24, 2009
Announcer says Tigers
only need two grand slams to tie it up.
horndude - May 24, 2009
He's not wrong :)
40AS - May 24, 2009
Two grand slams and a homer for the lead.
I had to chuckle
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Green out
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Wood coming in to close it out
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Another walk. Man on first and second 0 outs
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Belt, Loy, Ruffin make all tournament team
Holy shit Loy MOP
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
40 you were right
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Didn't Loy
throw over the giraffe’s head yesterday?
horndude - May 24, 2009
Had 3 errors yesterday
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Also made some nice defensive plays all week
And nobody was hotter at the plate
40AS - May 24, 2009
Yup they said he was hitting .700
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009
Plus 2-4 today
40AS - May 24, 2009
Loy, Belt, Ruffin,
make all Big XII tourney team.
Loy = MVP.
horndude - May 24, 2009
Wood walks the bases loaded still no outs
NeTexHorn - May 24, 2009

Hook 'em!
Would like to get to Austin for the Regional, but will likely just walk over to Rice instead. Maybe make it to the Super!
