Well, I’m not much of a fan of Ozzy Osborne, tho his wife is a fine looking woman. But I’m a big fan of the Braves and Chipper. One of these days the Braves are going to go all the way and not disappoint the way they’ve done so many years. And there’s another fine-looking woman, one that I can’t get shed of. She’s on my radio. She’s on my tape player. Like Chipper and the Braves, she don’t give up. When a fancy-smancy record exec told her they might think about recording her way back when if she went and got a hot band, she went right to work. She got one of the best guitar players in the world, a guy named Albert Lee that had played for the Everly Brothers and other big stars. She got a up and coming singer-songwriter named Rodney Crowell. She got a fine pedal steel-guitar player and a great drummer and a world class bass player. And there was only one name you could give a band like that, the Hot Band. The rest is history. So, like I say, one of these days the Braves are going all the way. And here’s Emmylou singing One of These Days on the original recording:

I loved the way Chipper tortured the Mets. On the field and off.

“Now all the Mets fans can go home and put their Yankee stuff on.”

Still the greatest insult in all of baseball history.

Here’s one that pretty much sums up all of us now. “All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy. Can you help me, satisfy my brain?”.

http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=paranoid+by+black+sabbath&mid=ED6B98243F362141A66BED6B98243F362141A66B&view=detail&FORM=VIRE2

This pretty much sums up the result of the little act played out daily bothg here and every where else by the media. Nowadays pretty much everyone is expected by the media and the press to be on edge and hanging on the next story which may or may not be to their own ideological liking. The result is pretty much everybody that gives a damn is miserable and they worry about things they have absolutely no control over. Why? Because there is money to be made by those puppet masters in the media/press pitting one side against the other. Jay is pretty good at it but he pales in comparison to the “big leaguer’s in the press who all have agendas of their own. They know that their “followers” are nothing more than puppets whose strings are begging to be pulled to their advantage. And the ultimate result? We turn on each other. Sad days we live in now. Instead of trying to unify, Jay and the rest try to seperate and after reading this blog for quite a while, Jay and the rest are very successful at it. There is no common ground with these people. It is “believe as we do or be thrown into the trash”. What liberals should remember is, all of the politicians in Washington and on every liberal media/press outlet in this nation are far better off financially than you are yourself will ever be. They are speaking on a hill down to you and expecting you to follow them. They are making money off of you.

In 1979 I had the chance to transfer to Atlanta with the company I worked for.

I came down here to check the people here out and vice versa. They loved me and I loved it here.

One night we were all in a hotel bar and the Braves were playing the St. Louis Cardinals. I believe the Bravos were up 12 – 1 in the fifth. They lost that game 13 – 12.

And I thought, oh my god, I’m moving here and this is gonna be my team???

Even so, my loyalties are fierce and I never gave up on them, and never will!

Just a thought but if your assigned position on the field is as an outfield umpire you probably don’t have any business calling something an infield fly. Makes you wonder if the guy forgot where he was umping and thought he was on third. Or maybe he was this guy…..

Oscar – The infield fly rule can be called if the ball is on the warning track. Here is why. A deep fly ball with a man on first and second. Outfielder drops ball on purpose, picks it up and throws to second and on to first getting a double play.

An INFIELD FLY is a fair fly ball (not including a line drive nor an attempted bunt) which can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort, when first and second, or first, second and third bases are occupied, before two are out. The pitcher, catcher and any outfielder who stations himself in the infield on the play shall be considered infielders for the purpose of this rule.

When it seems apparent that a batted ball will be an Infield Fly, the umpire shall *immediately* declare “Infield Fly” for the benefit of the runners. If the ball is near the baselines, the umpire shall declare “Infield Fly, if Fair.”

The ball is alive and runners may advance at the risk of the ball being caught, or retouch and advance after the ball is touched, the same as on any fly ball. If the hit becomes a foul ball, it is treated the same as any foul.

If a declared Infield Fly is allowed to fall untouched to the ground, and bounces foul before passing first or third base, it is a foul ball. If a declared Infield Fly falls untouched to the ground outside the baseline, and bounces fair before passing first or third base, it is an Infield Fly.

Rule 2.00 (Infield Fly) Comment: On the infield fly rule the umpire is to rule whether the ball could ordinarily have been handled by an infielder—not by some arbitrary limitation such as the grass, or the base lines. The umpire must rule also that a ball is an infield fly, even if handled by an outfielder, if, in the umpire’s judgment, the ball could have been as easily handled by an infielder. The infield fly is in no sense to be considered an appeal play. The umpire’s judgment must govern, and the decision should be made immediately.

When an infield fly rule is called, runners may advance at their own risk. If on an infield fly rule, the infielder intentionally drops a fair ball, the ball remains in play despite the provisions of Rule 6.05 (L). The infield fly rule takes precedence.

Either man could have caught that ball without the miscommunication. The ump was late making the call, but that would not have told the runners to go, they thought the ball was going to be caught also, they were locked down seeing the play unfold.

JKL2 , those were crazy days. The Viet Nam war, Civil Rights protests, RFK and MLK Jr both assassinated and sex, drugs and rock and roll!

Gibson, McLain, Mantle, Drysdale, Catfish Hunter and Hank Aaron. And the pitching was so dominant that MLB lowered the mound and shrunk the strike zone!

Good times…

Whoa Bookman—-how in the world are you applauding someone for individual achievement?!?! Your god and our Pres-tard Obama would say about Chipper: “He didn’t have that career, he didn’t hit those home runs…..SOMEBODY ELSE did that, somebody else made that happen.” Which is much like giving credit the stadium ground crew—the pretext being that the government has an ethical right to take Chipper’s salary and redistribute it to all the “little people” along the way that Obama thinks are more deserving of Chipper’s pay. So basically, like all selectively Libbies….success and accomplishing a dream is only okay if you’re an actor, or athlete, or musician, or artist, etc. (a galley of certain chosen careers that progressives grant a pass from class hatreds)—-BUT, if one worked hard, made sacrifices, took the risks and paid the personal prices to succeed in business, THEN the Leftist gloves come off and you guys scream “rape!”—and in so doing, YOU SLANDER REALLY GOOD PEOPLE by a childish, adolescent broad brush of irrational HATE. If you praise Chipper, yet dennouce the businessman—then you are a hypocrite! Then again, I’ve yet to meet a liberal who isn’t.

Why don’t any of the Obama supporters recall all his broken promises of 2008 and beyond that appear to me to be no different than those DEMS are so quick to point out currently for the other dope? Sure, he delivered on the small ball stuff, and he did sign PelosiCare but on the macro promises, he has failed miserably….cutting deficit, ending lobbyist controlled DC agenda (most important IMO), ACA was going to be revenue neutral, foreign reputation of US would improve simply by his election blah blah blah..

I think LSU is the better team but think they will turn the ball over more then FL and that will be the difference.

I am going way out on the limb with the score in the UGA game because of the history of low scoring games at SC but I have a feeling that UGA’s D is going to create some turnovers and let the UGA O get some easy scores.

Gene Simmons and Paul Broun????????

LOL!!!

Here’s a man who was smarter than a bag of hammers:

Decades before atheist scientist and author Richard Dawkins called God a “delusion,” one world-renowned physicist – Albert Einstein – was weighing in on faith matters with his own strong words.

“The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends,” Einstein wrote in German in a 1954 letter that will be auctioned on eBay later this month. “No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.”

I cannot sing the praises of PBS highly enough. One of the great prides of the Magnolia State is that it was the first state to have every citizen of the state within reception range of a PBS station using just “rabbit ears” (not that YOU would know what those are!). Miss Eudora Welty was the one who pushed that one through. What Blow was saying is very much the case there. In one generation Mississippi managed to get off the bottom in illiteracy and PBS/Mississippi ETV is given credit for playing a major role there…
