  • Wyatt Earp

    That story last night about LaRoche wanting to meet Wyatt Earp is the reason I will always listen to the radio, even it’s lagging a full inning behind the television broadcast. Well played, Mr. Van Wieren. In shocking news: I agree with Dave O’Brien! I love Frenchy and look forward to seeing him play, but […]

  • Baseball: Best Enjoyed In Your Boxers, With Donuts

    My notes from the game on ESPN today (we beat the Phillies 7-4), and explanations: Chipper mohawk? — Did anyone else notice that Chipper was rocking this kind of half-mohawk thing? The hair on the side of his head was shorter, and on top it was pointed in kind of a v-shape. Is that just […]

  • “Dude, I Might Be Able To Throw”

  • One Week At Disney and Skip Is Already Contemplating Murder

    How awful were those green hats? I was embarrassed for everyone involved. We lost to the Cards this afternoon, but no big deal — Smoltz got hit but he looked fine, Wicky looked sort of terrible. I have a bad feeling about Wicky this season, I don’t know. I hope I’m wrong. Anyway, we were […]

  • Open-Minded Frenchy??

    The game last night was a fun one to watch, despite the rookie pitcher Acosta who threw it away in the 9th. Bobby probably has Nam Flashback-like memories of pulling pitchers after last year — he didn’t look too happy when he had to take Acosta out in the 9th. Hitting looked good, relief pitching […]

  • Announcers, East Cobb and the Wisdom of Heap

    Much has been made about Skip and Pete not announcing the televised games for Sports South this season, and while I agree that it’s disturbing that the network that will show most of our games from now on doesn’t want anything to do with our best announcers, I personally don’t see this as a huge […]
