Egg Bowl baseball weekend

PrintState is the shame of SEC baseball this season. Sweeping them this weekend only perpetuates our beliefs of superiority and elitism against this land grant institution.
The 8-1 win over the BUllFRauDs in Jacktown was evident of our ability to dominate this team without our best pitching. This should be a trend that continues through the weekend.
Drew Pomeranz and Brett Bukvich are slated to start on Friday and Saturday respectively. Bukvich is having a Craig Rodriguez like senior season climbing from depths of fan uncertainty to a viable option against teams that aren't very spectacular.
The Rebels not only SHOULD sweep the series, they NEED to sweep the series.
A sweep keeps Ole Miss in the hunt for an overall SEC title and places less emphasis and pressure on the trip to the town that God accidentally created(Fayetteville) next weekend. Is that blasphemy? No, I talked it over with Him, and He apologized.
A series like this gives the Rebels a chance to show their poise and knock out a few wins on the way to securing a regional hosting site. It'll pretty much be a foregone conclusion if we wrap up three games this weekend, in my opinion.
Predictions:
Drew Pomeranz strikes out one State batter for every beer he drank last night...bout 13? 14?
Brett Bukvich throws six solid innings and upon walking off the mound, he grows a Mark Twain-like mustache within seconds and begins telling stories of times long ago in a deep brogue
Scott Bittle arrives on Sunday in a helicopter ala Richard Pryor in Brewster's Millions. He strikes out the side in the first then demands to be the head coach for the rest of the game. Mike Bianco is later seen gorging himself on rocky road ice cream in the locker room and crying, remembering the sweeter days of the affable Lance Lynn.
Jordan Henry hits an inside the park home run on a bunt down the first base side.
A fat State fan attempts to feel superior by telling Ole Miss fans about their long-time winning tradition in baseball. UM fans point to the scoreboard, which has consequently exploded.
Ghost of Jay Cutler sends 1,200 text messages to myself and Brian Walker's Elbow asking for scores in a drunken stupor.
Seriously though, we take the series 8-3, 9-2, 5-0. Hell yeah, I predicted the third game shutout without knowing the pitcher.

"big cat"
lets hope that there is no chance of any close game whatsover so that the one called “big cat” can’t double, triple, or quadrouple clutch a hit to right field and let a runner score from FIRST like he did down on the bayou earlier this year. or maybe he was going to try to run down one of the fastest players in the SEC and tag him out on that play. i know the rant about that play is a little late but it has just been swelling up since we’re tied with those coon asses for the lead.

MSU Player Info
I am working on compiling some info on MSU’s players, for those of you that like to scream your fair share of one liners. Check back later this afternoon.
any word on Bittle?
Is he for sure starting on Sunday? Word on the street is that he’s feeling great, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be the one on the mound on Sunday.
And nice Lance Lynn reference- he got pulled up to the Reds’ double A team this week and dominated in his first game (a double and flawless pitching) in Springfield. Hopefully, it won’t be long before we’ll be watching him play in Memphis.
Bittle could be ready
From what I’ve heard, Bittle just had some soreness to work through in his transition from bullpen to starter. He may have been pushed too hard too fast…that’s what she said
I would imagine they would save his arm if the series is already clinched and could pitch Irwin or Baker on Sunday. I’m sure they will play things hyper conservative with postseason play ahead that could last another month.
If I predict it, there's an 50 percent chance it happens.
New Rumor: Torn Labrum
That may be the worst text message I’ve gotten in at least the last three hours. Please, please, please let this be false.
Take a picture, trick.

pay attention close rebels, especially around the two minute mark, this is just another of the exponentially high reasons for us to not only hate, ignore, despise, and detest these maroon, redneck, poultry scientists that analyze pond scum and hog shit for a living, but to rub it in their cheese eating faces when we dominate those forestry majoring jokes of baseball players that take their practice cuts in the palmeROID center. honestly, i’m from the Golden Triangle Area( hence the username) and i’ve been to quite a few games at dudy noble, have some great friends in starkhell at state, and even worked for the extension service one summer, but as i’ve been around the conference i can say that their “land grant institution” would be considered by most to be the trailer park of the conference. but hey, there’s quite a few schools that i haven’t been to in the east. knoxville and colombia could be just as bad for all i know.

All cliched jabs at Mississippi State aside
That video is the greatest piece of evidence that the average Mississippi State fan’s modus operandi is nothing more than being the anti-Ole Miss. They made it to Omaha that year but all they could talk about was how we didn’t.
It’s sad.
Take a picture, trick.
