Floundering in fourth place isn’t much fun as a fan, but I suppose I could look on the bright side of the Braves’ season and think of it as an opportunity for new and different in-season analysis. This is the first time in 18 years that the Braves have actually had the chance to evaluate […]
Month: August 2008
Schedule for the week of August 25, 2008
Monday: Melissa’s birthday, no posts Tuesday night: 2008 fantasy football draft #1 (possible later post) Tuesday Wednesday: Braves Check: Is Anybody Still Watching?

There are still some things to watch for, like Friday’s deadline for signing this year’s draft picks […]

Dave Matthews Band certainly would fit that billing, […]

He’s always been a part of my baseball experience, and even though he hasn’t been on TV or the radio as much this year after his illness last winter, I’ll miss getting the chance to […]
The Diaper List
Inspired by a recent movie called The Bucket List, my friend Brandon started referring to his own version of such a list.
