Quick Hits

Since we've officially delved into baseball season the stories are going to get a little briefer over the next six months since I doubt any body wants to read my daily recaps of each baseball season. If you do want individual Braves baseball recaps than I suggest one of my daily stops The Braves Journal.

So here are some quick bullet point style headlines.

M-Brave catcher Brian Speaking of the Braves they are off to a promising 3-0 start after dismantling the Phillies to start the season. Pitching has been the story as the three starting pitchers, John Smoltz, Tim Hudson and former M-Brave Chuck James, and three big gun relievers, Bob Wickman, RafealSoriano and Michael Gonzales have been dominate thus far. The offense star has been fromerMcCann who looks to become a perennial all star. Edgar Renterria and Chipper are also playing well. Kelly Johnson is well on his way to becoming the whipping boy of the season.

Other pro baseball talk; I think the Dice-K mania is getting a little out of hand these days. As intriguing as the gyroball is an all I'm not willing to crown him the Cy Young winner yet. He is who we thought he was. A high priced acquisition from Japan with a lot of hype. He'll probably have a solid season but lets wait to he does something a little more exciting than beat the Kansas City Royals before we crown him. BUT IF YOU WANT TO CROWN HIM THEN CROWN HIS ASS BUT HE IS WHO WE THOUGHT HE WAS!
The SEC is good. In fact the conference is just dominating college sports right now. Lets see the SEC has the Football and Basketball national champions in the Florida Gators. The also have the women's basketball champion Tennessee Lady Volunteers. The conference has some achievements going on in the last major sport (keep bragging about your gymnastics program Stanford) baseball as well. Currently seven SEC teams are ranked in the 25 in baseball.
The four Florida Junior also all declared for the NBA draft this week destroying any hope of a three peat. I'm surprised Tuearean Green left early because he'll be a second round pick. I think Corey Brewer goes in the top seven picks and Noah and Horford go in the top 16. I think Horford turns out to be a quality pro, Noah a role player who, like Dennis Rodman, is more famous for off the court antics and weird personality than actual play. Corey Brewer will be the best of the four. But its alright because Noah's boys back in Gainsville know how he's gonna do it all night.

I've said it before but Armintie Price is good. She deserved the Howell trophy over Jamont Gordon, Todd Abernathy and Trey Johnson.
