Great Day

Post by William

If I could choose my Leaderboard this would be close.

I told some people in March Sergio would win. After hearing him today after a 66!!!, he's done. Greg Norman's daughter really messed him up. Or, he just's just not that good.

Tomorrow is a GREAT day!!!

Tomorrow starts the best 4 non-football days of the year. I'm a sap for stuff like The Masters. Gets me everytime.

Here are my picks for the Top Ten ( in no particular order)....

Robert Garrigus

Justin Rose

Charl Schwartzel

Ian Poulter

Jason Day

Matt Kuchar

Rory McIlroy

Tiger Woods

Phil Mickelson

Sergio Garcia

WINNER- Tiger Woods. Gross. That's gonna ruin a fantastic Sunday. It will probably rain here too.

SLEEPER- Scott Piercy

Check the pairings for the first 2 days. Thursday's last 6 pairings are all good viewing. Friday's 3rd from last has Bubba and the next to last has TW. That's it. So I guess Friday afternoon we'll all get the privilege of watching TW walk up every fairway b/c that's all CBS will show. Like there are no other golfers on the course. If/when he gets the lead Saturday, it will be even worse.

Even with all that, it's still the best viewing there is. Hope you all enjoy.

Big trouble on the Plains?

Auburn could be in BIG trouble

This is all over the Internet tonight. It's written by an Auburn grad who had worked for the New York Times and Sports Illustrated. She broke the first A Rod steroid story.

NCAA Bracket Contest

Post by William

We've decided to have a bracket contest this year. First Place will be a Starbucks gift card. Please email your brackets to    georgiasportsreport@yahoo.com.

You may print the bracket from this link:

http://www.cbssports.com/images/collegebasketball/ncaa-tournament/brackets/printable/cbs-sports-2013.pdf

Sheets are due before tipoff of the noon games on Thursday.

1 - We will count the "play in" games, but your turn in deadline is not until Thursday before noon. Pay attention and be sure to get those correct since they will be decided by Wednesday morning. I am expecting 100% correct answers out of all. Any wrong selections are ripe for group ridicule.

2 - Sheets will be scored as follows - Picking the champion, then the number of total wins, and be sure to write the total number of points you predict will be scored in the final game as a tie breaker.

Here is a schedule for the first sets of games with channels

Good luck!

The offense is looking strong... with one exception.

Post by Mike

I know it is early, but after 12 Spring games, the Braves are ranked fourth offensively without McCann and Simmons in the lineup.

Gattis is making a strong argument to be on the opening day roster with a .421 average and OBP of .451. He has also been listed as a Catcher on the roster and depth chart.

Pastornicky is also showing some good signs with .409 and .435.

Here are a few other players with average/OBP:
B Upton  .320 /.320
J Upton  .292/.320
Freeman .383/.385

There is, however, one recurring theme. Uggla is still lost at the plate.He is hitting only .130 with 3 hits, one homer, and a .259 OBP. YUCK! He may start the season in Gwinnett! Put Pastornicky at second and let Uggla become the highest paid minor leaguer ever!

Chipper a first ballot inductee?

What the... Miami as a 1 seed... UNC in a play in game?

Post by Mike

It is the time of the year to get up to speed on NCAA basketball. So I clicked on Jerry Palm's bracket projections and got very confused.

Miami as a 1 seed in the East and UNC in a "Play In Game"? Man that Russian meteor really messed stuff up.

And oh yeah... there is one team from Georgia projected to make the field... The Mercer Bears are projected as a 16 seed in the West.
