Fingers Crossed
The Braves start a three game series against what one local sports guy always calls the stinkin' Phillies tonight. We're something like five games back. Three wins and it's two. A loss and we don't gain much.
For most of you, this isn't much of a post. For those of us that had more than a decade of assured post-season, this is our moment to return to it.
Sorry Pos, but, you're a football guy, you've got Vick as of yesterday - I want the baseball win. (And best of luck to Vick and the Eagles, I've got a bad feeling it won't work out; but, I wish him the best.)

It's really not a bad situation for Vick. He was signed as a third-string quarterback, so there's no pressure on him. He's not going to play this year unless McNabb and Feeley both get hurt, or the Eagles stick him in some late-season blowouts. Also, McNabb might be a good mentor for him. He can get himself in shape this year, then look for a starting job down the line. Still, I think the odds are against him.
Sorry about that Dave. But looks like it was a good close game. I wouldn't know. I was watching preseason football.

I think that the Braves are going to leave fans disappointed again this season.
Less than three weeks until college football starts. I don't care anything about pro football, but college ball is a lot of fun. You never know what will happen, and the game atmosphere is a blast. Great way to spend a fall afternoon.
I'm hoping not Fermi; though, I'm ready to be disappointed.
I've never been a college fan. I went to law school at Miami. I used to go to Mark Light Stadium to not watch the baseball game - with a student ID, admission was something like two bucks. I'd talk to people around me or read while the Hurricanes were on their way to another national championship in those days.
I could go to the football Hurricanes games for five bucks and never went; and, they were winning championships.
Part of the problem is I really don't like crowds, all the getting there, getting in and getting away.
Home and I've got the HD, a couch and a frig a few yards away. That's the way to do sports.
As I type, I'm kind of watching the PGA Championship, thinking about some dinner, surfing and trying to decide if my emotions can handle watching the Braves tonight.
The Braves? Is baseball still on? I always thought baseball ended before FOOTBALL season started.
Maybe I just never noticed because I was watching FOOTBALL.
