Padres lose

Braves up 2 games with 3 to play.

Halladay and Oswalt are not pitching for the Phillies.



Just let us get into the tournament.

Bobby Cox Tribute on Saturday

Post by William

Braves/Phillies Saturday has been moved to 4pm on Fox for national TV. The Braves are having their tribute to Bobby Cox pregame that day. They're asking fans to be in their seats by 3:15(that fires me up. Good stuff coming). I doubt that the tribute is on national Fox. Check your cable guide to see where you can watch. Tom Glavine on radio yesterday said it was going to be unbelievable. He said alot of the old Braves were coming back. All the cf ball games we want to see Saturday are at night. Tune in for Bobby. Remember where we were before he came. 1988-1989-1990.

"One engine on the team plane out"!!

So nobody's got anything to say about that?? Since there have been no comments about that I assume we're all on the same page.

We all HATE Florida.


Nice to know we all have a common bond.

Guest Picker of the Week

Post by William

Thanks to Rob Matre for being our Guest Picker of the Week. Please click on Rob's logo on the right. Find the pictures he took at East Lake last week for the Tour Championship.

BTW, please note we both picked 57 as the total points for the tiebreaker. We pick fair and square.

Will Cox get tossed one last time?


Posted by Mike

Three more regular season games for Bobby. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, since I don't want to think about the Dawgs.

What would be the perfect way for Cox to go out this weekend?

1 – It is pretty obvious we need to get the old boy into the playoffs one last time. Who knows what might happen then? Any combination of Braves wins and Padre losses totaling 3 will get us there. Sure would be nice if we could get there in time to rest our starters on Sunday, but at this point I am not gonna get picky.

2 – Bobby has to get ejected in at least one game against the Phills, and NOT by some cheap hook issued from behind home plate with the skipper yelling from the dug out. This has to be Bobby running out on to the field, The entire Ted doing the Chop, and Balkin' Bob Davidson tossing Cox when can not take any more abuse. (Please be sure there is extra security around Davidson if this develops.)

William's Picks for the Week

Post by William

Took a beating on my picks last week, 3-7. Only redeeming factor was that the Falcons did win.

Picks are in ALL CAPS

Here we go:

Kentucky plus 3 vs OLE MISS(Home)- Ole Miss is home. All I've got.

TENNESSEE plus 16.5 vs Lsu(Home)- I know but too many points not to take

Texas plus 3.5 vs OKLAHOMA at Dallas- Mack Brown got smacked last week. Tough comeback

Ga Tech minus 10 vs WAKE FOREST(Home)- This line is crazy. Tech wins but no cover

UGA minus 4.5 vs Colorado(Home)- I'm going down with the ship

Florida plus 7.5 vs ALABAMA(Home)- I wouldn't pull for Florida with one engine out on the team plane

STANFORD plus 7 vs Oregon(Home)- Stanford has a two way FB/LB. Old school

Miami minus 3.5 vs CLEMSON(Home)- Clemson's getting points at home.

San Fran plus 7 vs ATLANTA(Home)- Falcons are dominant. SF no QB

WASHINGTON plus 6 vs Philadelphia(Home)- Michael Vick finally plays an NFL defense

TIEBREAKER- Total points Michigan/Indiana     57

Tony B's List of Teams

Post by William

If I'm going to steal an idea, I'm going to steal from the best.

Yesterday on his show(10-1 on 790 am-link on right), Tony Barnhart came up with a list of teams and where they stand with regards to winning a National Championship every year. I think he's right on except for one. You'll see it- he said he added it b/c his producer thought it should be there.

Take a look and let me know who you think should be in a different list and why.

Contenders every year:

Florida
Alabama
Texas
USC
Ohio State
Oklahoma
Nebraska
Notre Dame- that's the one.

Teams really close every year-most have recent NCs:

Tennessee
LSU
Michigan
Penn State
FSU
Miami

Wannabes- Teams that their fans think they should be in the 2nd list for sure, probably 1st list. They've got the facilities and everything else but just not quite there:

UGA
Auburn
Va Tech
Iowa
Wisconsin
Oregon
Texas A&M

I have to admit I think he's right on except for ND. They're in the wannabes(used to be) list at best.

Tell me what you think. If you want to move a team you have to explain why.
