Hamilton County schools started this week, so I’m spending more and more of my time sitting in traffic. I actually bothered to change the CDs in my car for the first time in probably a month or two, so I guess I’ve been pretty bored with the increase in traffic. Anyhow, I do have a […]

The Political Compass
For some reason, I’ve always liked taking quizzes that tell me what I really think from a political perspective. The World’s Smallest Political Quiz tells me that I’m slightly left and moderately libertarian, but it’s known to have a libertarian bias based on how the questions are phrased. Today, I took the quiz for the […]
Braves finish up-and-down week against division rivals
The week started out quite well with a series win in New York, but the back end of the rotation was quite bad against the Phillies, so the Braves dropped two of three there. Unfortunately, the team will have to play better than .500 baseball the rest of the way in order to make the […]
Friday Notes: August 10, 2007
School starts in Hamilton County this weekend, which means it’s my wife’s last free weekend before things really start getting crazy. I also have a fantasy football draft coming up next weekend and plenty of work to do for that. Here are some notes: I’m always looking for solutions to improve my productivity online and […]
Bonds hits #756 while most of the nation sleeps
I would like to offer my congratulations to Barry Bonds on becoming baseball’s career home run leader. It is a great accomplishment which required skill, longevity and determination. Throughout the past century, the home run has held a special place in baseball, and I have been privileged to hold this record for 33 of those […]
Braves win both inter-division series, now face East challenge
The Braves dealt for a slugger and a couple of relievers this week, and as kind of an afterthought, they went 4-2 on the field. Heading into August, that’s barely what they need to keep pace with the Mets and Phillies. The Astros initially presented no challenge to the Braves’ offense, but a few hiccups […]
Friday Notes: August 3, 2007
Today marks my 14-month wedding anniversary, so it’s a pretty good day. Here are some notes for this week: The Braves need to stop playing extra-inning games, especially if they’re going to lose them. I didn’t watch much of last night’s game (too much basketball and NCAA 08 to be played), but I’m sure it […]
Month-end Meta: July 2007
Now that July is out of the way, there are lots of people thinking about going back to school. Fortunately, I’m not one of them. Moving on…I present the top searches that led people to this little site, in terms of volume: Mississippi Braves Rotation “Baseball” or some similarly generic search about the sport Anything […]
2007-2008 HU Basketball Schedule Released
It’s that time again, or at least in four months it is. The Harding athletic department has posted the schedule for the upcoming basketball season, and now I’m doing the same. All of the game times are still TBA, so I’ll update the main schedule page when those are posted. 2007-08 Schedule Date Opponent Location […]
Teixeira and Dotel deals finalized, Royce Ring also in the fold
Even though the Braves added another prospect to the deal for Mark Teixeira (Beau Jones), I won’t revisit that one today. Instead, I’ll quickly go over the deals for Octavio Dotel and Royce Ring. Octavio Dotel Considered by many to be the best reliever on the market, Dotel put in 23 solid innings for Kansas […]
