Now it’s time for all the stuff that wasn’t really worthy of an entire post this week: I’ve decided to start keeping my own college football top 10, mostly because I have a Facebook app that requires me to do so. Well, maybe it beckons me to do so, rather than requires. Still, here it […]

Braves Check: Finally, a complete game
With only two weeks left in the season, the Braves starting rotation finally pitched their first complete game of the season, courtesy of Tim Hudson. Complete games aren’t worth more than regular games, though, and the Braves are still 5.5 back in the wild card race (7.5 in the division). There are now five teams […]
Braves Check: A decent week for a decent team
The Braves have won three of five since my last update on Tuesday, but they need about eight wins each week if they’re going to make the playoffs. A sweep against the Mets this week will only get them within a sniff of the division title, and it would be a fairly distant sniff. This Week’s […]
Braves Check: Falling flat in September
Fantasy drafting took up pretty much all of my time yesterday, so I didn’t get the chance to update the stats as I had expected. Today’s post should rectify that. That big “whoosh” sound you might have heard in Atlanta over the weekend must have been the Braves falling in the standings, as they dropped all the way to […]
Friday Notes: August 31, 2007
Some notes to get you through the first weekend of football season: Tennessee plays at Cal tomorrow night at 8 PM on ABC. Erik Ainge will be playing with a broken finger, and I’ll be watching, hoping that the Vols can get off to a good start. I think Tennessee will run the ball very […]
A quick Braves assessment
For Braves fans still expecting a comeback, two out of three against the Marlins is a start. A sweep would have been nice, but two out of three will work for now. The Braves now sit five games back in both the NL East and Wild Card races: NL East W L PCT GB New […]
Wait 'til next year?
The NL Central-leading Cubs’ rallying cry might apply to the Braves now, after a 2-5 week pushed them seven games back in the division race (behind 2 teams) and four in the wild card (behind 4 teams). Coolstandings gives the Braves a 13.8% chance of making the postseason, which seems about right. That’s half what […]
On the list of things I wasn't expecting, this was #4
The Braves designated Bob Wickman for assignment today. The former Atlanta closer gave up the game-winning homer to Adam Dunn last night, and today they’re letting him go. While I have thought all along that Wickman was perhaps the third-best reliever on the team (thus making it unfortunate that he got to pitch in so […]
Friday Notes: August 24, 2007
My site’s been down most of the morning, but hopefully it will stay up long enough for me to crank out this post. Start your timers now. Today is my buddy Jace’s birthday. He’s 23 today, and if he tells me he feels any different because he’s 23, he’s probably lying. I certainly didn’t. Other […]
Braves endure another .500 week as the Mets increase their lead
This week looks strangely like the one before, except the opponents were the Giants and D-Backs, and the games were at home. First, the Braves took 2 of 3 from the Giants, and then Brandon Webb and Micah Owings won two of three games for the D-Backs over the weekend. This Week’s Stats Scores and […]
