Crow and the Crabtree Contract, or Lack Thereof
Posted by Phenomenal Smith on September 18th, 2009 under Baseball
Aaron Crow finally got his deal. Fifteen months after being drafted by the Washington Nationals, the Missouri star signed a major league contract with the Royals. The deal was for less guaranteed than he turned down from the Nats, but it's a major league contract and incentives can push him beyond the Nats' final offer. I'm surprised he was able to get such a good deal - what kind of leverage did he have? What

Pujols and the Triple Crown
Posted by Phenomenal Smith on June 27th, 2009 under Baseball
Yes, this is a Missouri Tiger site. Yes, Albert Pujols does not go to Mizzou, nor has ever gone to Mizzou. Still, I was thinking about La Machina (El Machino?) the other day and got to wondering about his Triple Crown chances. He's currently leading the NL in homers and RBIs and is ninth in batting average. It's early, but not THAT early that this discussion isn't worthy of a blog post. We're 46% of the

Aaron Crow back on the mound
Posted by Phenomenal Smith on May 6th, 2009 under Baseball
Aaron Crow, former Mizzou pitcher and number one draft pick of the Washington Nationals in 2008, finally pitched again in a game. Crow, after being unable to come to terms with the Nats, signed with the Fort Worth Cats of the American Association, and is prepping for the 2009 draft in early June.
Crow wasn't masterful as he tried to pitch through the rust. From the Baseball America blog:

Who hasn’t shit their pants?
Posted by Euclid on October 2nd, 2008 under Baseball
Not sure I am "good twice a year" for it, but I am not afraid to admit I've come up short on a trip to the can more than once. Don't get me wrong, I am not ready for Depends. Ask my friends, I can hold a good firm turd for a week if need be. But from time to time a case of explosive diarrhea makes things interesting. You know the

At what point do A.Ds stop hiring Duke people? At a certain point former coach K players stop being successful college players and start being coaches with shady recruiting results right?
Oh and God bless the crime rate in Stillwater. The simple odds keep the shit from hitting the fan regularly for us.

TMZ reports that Tiny Gallon took a $3000 payout from an agent. My God, Capel has no control over this team whatsoever. This is 2007 offseason Texas football levels of embarrassing. You can’t let a half dozen bad apples spoil a bushel of 10 apples…that analogy sucked balls, but you get my

06_UT: you are probably right. I thought about changing the post description to “least favorite Barnes team” because that’s more accurate but I didn’t feel like it.
That said, I’m not sure this team would beat those other two. They would lose Abrams and let him go 7-15 on 3s and the Abrams team played better -

10 weeks ago, Oregon played in the Rose Bowl as Pac 10 champions. Since their loss to Ohio State, the program has been in some kind of bizzaro parallel universe where every headline concerns a player arrest, a firing, or now a resignation.

Prescient comment, Doc.
I think we learned today that no team is really a mirror image of Missouri, even if Clemson is about as close as it gets. Unless you have significantly better/more talented athletes, if you try to run with the Tigers, you will lose. This team is so much fun to watch in games

Good to see that Tom Penders still believes in the weave offense. Maryland finally figured out that if you pass quickly, the middle is always open.
37-29 Maryland late in the first half.

Kansas State is going to be under a lot of pressure tomorrow night in primetime at the Ford Center.
Not only are the Wildcats the favored #2 seed going against #7 seed BYU, but if the Wildcats lose, they may sentence hundreds of boys to nonstop harassment from all the kids who think that “Jimmer” was

We came up short.
Credit to Georgia Tech they worked the ball inside where they had the advantage and played great D on the perimeter. Matt Pilgrim is the most athletic big man we’ve had in years around here and he was irrelevant. When we tried to drive they collapsed like Chris Farley on a

Doc, the turnovers seemed to do the trick – there were great big chunks of time when Mizzou didn’t even have to get into a half court offense.
Great to see Ramsey have such a good game and pretty stifle Booker. As Euclid said during the game, even when Mizzou doesn’t play well

“Also because those other teams gave great effort almost every game. This team’s effort was questionable. Dumb and lazy, not a good combo…..”
This is what made this season so bizarre for me. This has never been a problem for Barnes’ teams. But I actually questioned this team’s heart and desire to play together

Travis Ford spent the 2nd half channeling his inner Rick Barnes — lot’s of standing around on offense while one player tries to generate something off a ball screen — then taking a forced shot.
So the Big 12 goes 5-2 in Round One.
