Randy Johnson perfect versus Braves
I got lucky and flipped to Braves game in the seventh and noticed they were hitless against the Diamondbacks. Turns out they hadn't been on base and Randy Johnson was throwing a perfect game. (Braves struck 18 times Sunday, they're not hitting for shit.) He got six more outs and completed the perfecto, you should've seen how excited his catcher (Robby Hammock) was. He was jumping up and down, and Randy was just smiling... Continue reading

Braves vs. Braves
The Braves are playing Milwaukee right now on TBS and it's Braves vs. Braves. The Brewers are wearing throwback uniforms, so they're dressed as the Milwaukee Braves. I like the uniforms a lot. They're pretty similar to the current home Atlanta uni's but with more color in the tomahawk and a more offensive Indian logo on the sleeve.... Continue reading

You think you've seen it all...
Wow, that was weird. I'm watching the Braves at the Colorado Rockies game and the weirdest play just happened. There was a foul pop on the third base side and Rockies' third baseman Vinny Castilla heads over to the edge of the stands to try to catch it. He reaches over and makes a great catch in the stands, but before the umpire notices he has the ball an idiot Rockies fan reaches and steals... Continue reading

Roy in Madden 2005
Damn, I am counting the minutes until August and September when EA releases NCAA Football and Madden 2005. They're gonna be freaking awesome, and I'm probably going to get them for Xbox so shorter loading times means more playing time (and hopefully better graphics too). Here's a screenshot of Roy Williams in a Lions' uniform. We've found out in the last couple days that he'll wear number 11 though instead of his usual 4... Continue reading

Roy Williams and the rest of the Lions draft
Now that Roy Williams is a member of the Detroit Lions, they automatically become one of my favorite teams. (Any team Ricky Williams, Roy Williams, or Vince Young plays for will be a team I follow and root for.) With the NFL Draft wrapping up I thought I would look at my new team's picks and their team as a whole. The first day of their draft went well. Getting Roy didn't exactly fill a... Continue reading
