Tom-
I wish it were…and given that I have (obviously) never played organized football I might be wrong, but I am under the impression that it is rather difficult (not to mention against the rules) to throw a ball down the field while laying on the ground under a pile of large men…

Nolie, don’t you think your boy Moby Grape can take care of himself? Why not mind your own biz unless spoken to? (Jeff321)
against a childish hater like you, first round KO for cuz. But if you put trash out there you should expect anybody on the board to respond to it, and whether anybody else did or not I thought it foolish enough to respond to, that’s kinda what happens on a blog you know, like Braveheart responded too in a way, but nicer. . You do know that , right? That’s why you are a never ending source of entertainment Jeffy. Keep up the good work.

I went to a arts/crafts/funnel-cake/bloomin’ onion/grouper sammich-kind of event today in our little ‘neck of the woods. Always enjoy sitting and people and panting dog watching. .One conclusion I drew today, males and females were equally tatted up that I saw. Only the guys had bigger ones……..tattoos that is.
One kind of tattoo you never see – tattoos of your body organs right over where the organ should be. Kinda cool to have kidneys, your heart or lungs inked right where they lay. Could be part of the initiation process for Doctors On Wheels or The Chrome Coroners.

cabravesfan … I meant your rant, not the situation. You meant your rant to be funny, and, I laughed out loud. I can see you take your football seriously and are frustrated. I kid around about how aggravated I was, last season, losing game after game by a point or 3. At the time, however, I wasn’t laughing.
BTW, I screwed up before (another flaw I try to keep hidden). When I read the printed-out Braves’ schedule, I read the month to the right of April (you know, reading left to right). However, that month is June. May, is underneath April. The next 2 Saturdays are Fox games for the Braves (Houston, Philly). I may see the Philly game here, if there’s no Mets or Yankees. Who knows what they’ll show out your way?

I can rant with the best of them…that was the norm last year (and as I type, Ellsbury just tied the Sox/Yankees game up at 6…in the 5th inning- great pitchers duel there!) and i only mostly hate Scot McCloughan…he has occasional moments of coherent ideas (like when he fired Mike Nolan). I do have nothing positive to say about the spawn of satan that owns by beloved team…
Next week’s game wont bother me because I will be out of town but it would be really nice to see the Phillies game

A quick toast to Bea Arthur, who had a good run of 86 years (I hope I can get somewhere close to that). The disturbing thing is that I actually have a song by Bea Arthur (and the still going at 80-something Angela Lansbury) in my I -Tunes Library that I could play while I was doing the toast.

I’ve been a 49er fan all my life (I grew up a dodger fan, at least until I was about 12 or so) but, no I like them both about the same…it’s just that the 49ers are much more frustrating to watch…p*ss poor ownership, bad GMs, horrible coaching hires, questionable draft picks (with a few very good ones thrown in)…and in a 16 game season every management and coaching mistake is magnified and they haven’t made the playoffs since 2002 (they haven’t had a winning record since 2002)

Somehow, listening to Mike Singletary doesn’t make me feel any better about Crabtree:
When asked how Crabtree fits into the 49ers’ mix he said, “We’ll figure it out. We got a playmaker.”
When asked about reports that Crabtree is a diva and this and that, Singletary said he checked out fine on the team’s background check. “To the best of our knowledge, this is a really good pick for us.”
I was hoping for something better then “we’ll figure it out” and “to the best of our knowledge”

Here’s hoping to see Shafer moved to the leadoff spot at some point soon. And if he does move up, I think Kelly Johnson should be batting second behind him. With Escobar hacking at the first pitch all the time, Shafer would never have a chance to swipe second even if Bobby did turn him loose to do it. Kelly is much more patient and would be willing to give Shafer a couple of pitches to try and steal.

That came as a shock to me (Bea Arthur’s passing). Never did watch her in Maude….but I sure did watch the Golden Girls and even now, catch a rerun every now and then. Betty White and Rue McClanahan(sp) are the only ones left from that show.

Man, back in the Montana-Rice days, they were one hell of a team. They were so good, that many around here jumped on the bandwagon and became 49er fans.

Getting close to the Falcons pick now….how sweet is it to have to wait till the end of the round to see them pick? Especially since it is off performance from the previous season.
Can’t believe the Raiders reached as far as they did for the WR from Maryland……well, on second thought, it is the Raiders. Bet Michael Crabtree was quietly breathing a big sigh of relief for not being drafted by that train wreck of and organization. Think a lot of players would rather go to any other team (even the Lions) in the league than go play for Al Davis’ nutty self.

“That came as a shock to me (Bea Arthur’s passing). Never did watch her in Maude”
Maude was a really good sitcom in its day. Not as cutting edge as All in the Family, but close – and it was almost impossible to be that out front after the barriers were broken.
My friends and I used to watch the late-nite re-runs, and to this day often use one of Maude’s classic lines… “Who cares, Walter? Who cares?“ … when someone rambles on about something.
She was just a great comedic actress – had the deadpan humor down to perfection.

Tom-
That is the other reason why watching the 49ers the last few years has been so frustrating- the teams that I grew up with (from Eddie DeBartolo on down) were the model NFL team, and they were really really good. (they are going back to those great cherry red unis this year! WHOO HOO!)
Yes the Dodgers p*ssed me off…They blew a giant divisional lead in 1991 and my 12 year old mind decided that they were not worthy to have me as a fan anymore. The Braves happened to be the team that won the division that year (man, I miss the days they were in the West!) so I decided they would become my new team. I, of course, had no way of knowing they would become the team they did but I have now been a Braves fan a lot longer then I was ever a Dodger fan (going on 18 years now)
And I have no problem with the questions, believe me you are not the first to ask how a girl from LA became such a huge Braves fan

Kinda the same thing with me. I grew up being a HUGE Royals fan (Brett, Willie Wilson, Frank White, Quizenberry, Hal McRae, etc) and of course….manager Dick Howser.
I lost interest in them after Brett retired in 93 even tho I still followed (and still do to this day….just not as much as I did at first) them afterwards.
By the looks of things…at least early, the Royals could very well win the A.L. Central. Be about time too. I’ve been wishing they would get back to being a good team again.

Interesting USA Today article about old school (over 65) managers coaching in these new-fangled days:
Today’s old school managers have the respect of their players, management and peers.
“When I think of old school managers, they’re the ones not worried about all the stuff on the periphery: all the media stuff, all the TV stuff, all the glitz and glamour,” Braves general manager Frank Wren says.
“Bobby (Cox) just has an unbelievable desire to win. When the game begins, you see that fire. It’s no secret why he’s been thrown out of more games than any manager in history. It’s that competitive fire.
“The other part that’s made him successful is that he’s great at building relationships. Players love to play for him because of the way he treats them.”
Cox is the only manager six-time All-Star Chipper Jones has played for in the big leagues.
“I associate the ‘old school’ label with the fact that you know how to play the game and a manager that insists the game be played the right way,” Jones says.
“Bobby is about as old school as they come in this day and age. Managers like him, Leyland, (Mike) Scioscia have very little tolerance for the consummate look-at-me guys (that say), ‘Hooray for our team as long as I’m the star.’
“If somebody were to say that, I might be old school. I’d certainly take it as a compliment.”

At least, during the run of the Braves superiority, seeing the Yanks lose has been a great thing. Never had the dispise for them in the 80’s as I do now. I did like Don Mattingly. He was a class act.
Truth be told….I pulled for the Mets in the 2000 World Series. I know, I know….I should be shot and hung for that (Lol)…but it’s the truth.

Tom – I was a Mets’ fan for years (I was at the Eastern Division clincher on 9/24/69, 10 years before I was born), divorced them when they traded Seaver, fell back into line in the mid-80’s (the sixth game in the ‘86 World Series is one of the great nights of my life), but, since I lived in Richmond and (Go NY Giants!) I got to see the core of the early 90’s (and beyond teams), I slowly morphed into a Braves’ fan. I also managed to catch Smoltz’s ML debut – it was Old Timer’s Day at Shea, and it was my daughter’s first game (and my Grandmother’s last) – if I wasn’t familiar with the Richmond Braves I would probably not remember who pitched for the Braves that day.

Wow. I thought it was a night game there at Cincy… but it’s good to see that Yunel and Chipper (specially Chipper) went yard and that both had a great game.
Good to see that Lowe plunked a hitter today. It’s a way to send a message to the other teams. I don’t care if Volquez did it on purpose or not last night, we kind of needed someone to take care of our batters and Lowe is that kind of guy (I think he also hit a Nationals’ batter when KJ, I guess, was hit in the home opener series).

OT: I went to an estate sale today and wow this lady must’ve had swagger in her day lol. Almost every bedroom of the house was done in red with the spanish decor that was popular in the 70s and she had tons of cowboy boots and silky western shirts, fancy scarves and several fur coats but the back room was the piece-de-resistance; red shag carpeting, a huge 1950’s black curved sectional sofa, a red velvet love seat, some kind of velvet wall art, a piano, a ukulele, a big cabinet stereo (one of 3 throughout the house) and hundreds of records. I bought an old radio and an ashtray advertising some nightclub in Chicago. Don’t smoke but I liked it. (Hope it’s okay with Ronald Millsap that I shared a personal story).

Tom-
You mean the team that embarrassed them all over the Rose Bowl on New Years day? The team that turned what was supposed to be the best bowl game of the season into one that was over at half-time? That “rag-bag” team?
I can’t hold it against you if you like Penn State…I feel a litte bad for you but no animosity

Tom – I was trying to disguise my agedness – and I grew up on Long Island before heading off to William and Mary for school. I actually dropped the Yankees for the Mets when they fired Yogi. Plus, we lived closer to Shea (although my first game was at Yankee Stadium – I remember Al Kaline throwing a strike to 3rd, and Clete Boyer changing his pants in the dugout after a pant-tearing slide).

LOL nolie no. It was just so…disco…I wanted to take a pic of the room but there were several other people in there. If it had been just my friend and me in the room I definitely would have. It was definitely like stepping into the set of Boogie Nights.

The Texas Braves are having a good game…Andruw has an HR, Salty is 2-2 (4 for his last 5), and Elvis has scored a run and make a nice play…

I’m sure you didn’t see my question during last nights game, so I’ll ask again. Just wondering if you ever got a chance to hear a band called “RLA” in ATL over the past few years. They played regularly at Smith’s Old Bar and a couple of times at the Roxy. They played in several other clubs during that time period and just wondered if you ever saw them.
