Braves second team to open game with three HRs
ATLANTA (AP)—This was about as rare as it gets in baseball.
An unassisted triple play? Nah, there’s been 11 of those. A perfect game? Not even close. That’s been done a whopping 14 times.
The Atlanta Braves became only the second team in major league history to start a game with three straight homers and went on to a 15-3 rout of the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night.
Rafael Furcal, Mark DeRosa and Gary Sheffield hit consecutive home runs off Cincinnati’s Jeff Austin in the bottom of the first.
The only other team to start a game with three straight homers was the San Diego Padres. Marvelle Wynne, Tony Gwynn and John Kruk pulled off the feat against San Francisco on April 13, 1987.
Before the inning was done, Javy Lopez hit another homer, a two-run shot that knocked Austin out of the game. The Braves tied the franchise record for most homers in an inning.

If only I could have lived an entire life thinking that NYSEG and NIAGRA MOHAWK weren’t different companies. That pipe dream is now officially over.

Matrix: Reloaded
Yeah, I thought it was good. Sara and I went last night to the late night show. Of course, it is not as good as the first, but in my mind they are almost not comparable. In the first you have no idea what to expect, What is the Matrix? Then in the second, there is no need to tell what the Matrix is, but rather Why is the Matrix? Obviously, visually it is amazing. Mentally, I thought it wouldn’t hold up the mustard with the first, but to me suprisingly it did. I give Matrix Reloaded my two thumbs up and I look forward to buying the DVD and it again, especially a couple of those scenes.

Springfling with Rezi
Okay, here is my review of Springfling. The festival I went to last weekend in Afton, NY.
The drive to Echo Lake was smooth & easy, rolled into Bainbridge and tossed around a few back roads to arrive at Springfling. There was music and there was a scene, my friends REZI were about to play.. “I’m with the band”.. Theres Packy, Phil, Ned, Doink, and Greg…cool. Packy hopped in and showed my the way to the site. Parked, popped up my tent, grabbed a brew and was on my way. We jetted back to the stage mic stand in hand to catch the end of the Rhubarb set. Quality. Plugged in, setup, and was ready. Looked at my batteries and they appeared good.
They actually got on stage at their scheduled time of 10pm. There was a great audience, people were pumped and everything was good….The Neds Tune was off the hook. Then during Doink I went back to my gear to make sure everything was good and realized my batteries were in fact not good and in fact did fail. Fuck. So I lost Neds Tune and Doink. Damn. Then midway through a sick Scatterbrains jam the power went out… Packy and Mark kept it going in stylish fashion which was awesome. Finally the power came back on and they sequed into tomonari… Great show friday night.
Then saturday morning gramma joan (person responsible for this festival) asks us if we started a rumor about jerry garcia band not showing up, which we didnt… but everyone everywhere heard the rumor and we have no idea where it started….
Then their was no one playing during the day on the stage.. and about 4 bands were skipped… around 8 or so One World Tribe did their set, then Mecca Bodega played… Jerry Garcia Band played around 1 am, grandma joan told us earlier that Rezi would be playing after JGB and REZI was booked to play again saturday night around 2am… we realized that this wouldnt happen by the time JGB did play around 1am… they played for about an hour and a half and it was real good. but then the stage manager announced that Something Dank was next…. so we sat through their entire set and by the time the stage was cleared it was 5:30 AM, the sun was up and everything… Rezi took the stage at 6AM and did a great set to all the late night owls and early birds… I need to revisit the sick Electrical Storm which contained Backwash and Mr Oblivious. The set was cool, but it wasnt the plan.
The festival was overrun with people who did not care about music and only cared about getting fucked up… there were about 500 people at echo lake and maybe 25 percent of these people actually came down to the stage where the action was…
So my complaints are simple
1) if you are going to go to a festival, go for the music, not the drugs…
2) if you are behind the festival, have a schedule and stick to it… and also dont bitch about money if you overbook..

White Stripes
[music-The White Stripes-Elephant-You’ve Got Her In Your Pocket]
Here it is, the end of the week. I’m working on getting this test script together for this project and setting up the profiles. It’s a pain, but it’s important. I’ll be in touch. Take what I said last seriously, that album is ill. So is this one too though.
