Sorry Dad
Monday, September 8th, 2008
Sorry Dude, but it doesn’t look good for your buddy Tom Brady. That’s an unfortunate season ending, hopefully not career threatening injury. Matt Cassell should be alright though. This gives Belichick a chance to prove himself. Word is they are going to try out Chris Simms and Tim Rattay, good luck with that. Daunte [...]

Smoltz shuts it down
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008
Unfortunately Johnny’s shoulder issues proved to be too serious to pitch this season. He’s decided to shut it down and have season ending shoulder surgery. Here’s to hoping he can return possibly next season for one last year!
If not, thank you for everything Johnny. I’ll be in Cooperstown the day you are inducted, that’s a [...]
1 Run Games
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008
The Braves are 3-16 in games that are decided by 1 run. They picked up their 3rd victory last night in these contests. Seriously, why is it so hard to protect a small lead or win by a small margin?
I won’t even begin to discuss the difference between their home and away records.
Wow..
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
This METS/BRAVES series must be real tough for you Mets fans out there to swallow.
Game 9 tonight!
Trifecta for me Tonight
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

The Braves crushed the Mets, again.

Smoltz to Close?
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008
After Johnny gets off the DL it looks like he may return to the pen as the team’s closer. That’s fine with me. Whatever it takes to prolong his career.. Read More

Braves sweep Mets.
Monday, April 7th, 2008
As if on cue, the Braves retaliate against themselves and their weak efforts against the Pirates to reverse the course and sweep the Mets out of town. Friday night’s game was rained out, but unfortunately for the Mets, Saturday and Sunday games were played.
The Bats woke up to defend home field on Saturday. Kelly “The [...]

Hawk Attacks Schoolgirl Taking Tour of Fenway Park
BOSTON —A 13-year-old girl touring Fenway Park on a school trip was attacked by a resident red-tailed hawk that drew blood from her scalp Thursday.
She wasn’t seriously hurt, but some observers saw an omen for a certain New York Yankees slugger in the attack at the home of [...]

Friday, April 4th, 2008
Mike Hampton heads back to the DL…
teaches me to shut my damn head when it comes to Pedro going back to the DL.
Oh well.. it’ll be alright.. as Mr Met likes to re-point out every spin thru the rotation—at least we got Tommy G!
I’m jumping ship…
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008
The Braves have the worst record in baseball.
Clearly they are not very good.
So guess what kids…
THE METS are my new favorite team.
I just love Jose Reyes and David Wright.
Pedro is my favorite pitcher from this era.
Johan is my favorite pitcher of any era.
Willee Randolph always makes the right moves.
I just love when Billy Wagner comes [...]

Packers vs Seahawks
I’m picking Seattle this week. Hasselback has matured. He’s ready to win the coin toss and score. If Favre plays out of his mind, which in actuality is in his mind, then the Packers have a chance
Cowboys vs Giants
I don’t see the Cowboys losing here, but the Giants have been hot. Either way, [...]

Job Opening
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007
Yet again there is a job opening for Head Coach with the Atlanta Falcons… Didn’t we just hire a new coach? Didn’t we just go through this? What a nightmare season. I’m just pissed Petrino talked a big game but in the end had no integrity to even finish the season before jumping ship a [...]

Braves-Mets. One more time.
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007
Braves crushed the Mets last night 13-5 to bring everything back to reality. Thankfully even if they lose, they’ll at worst be tied for the season series. This isn’t completely acceptable, but a losing record would be unacceptable. Now for a preview of the final game of the season series…

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007
