A weekend of Bulldogs and Braves, not so much beer

So UGA looked great in my opinion on Saturday, even though the schedule is absolutely hideous this year, the team should be solid. As Buck Belue said about it 'you know you're in good shape when the head coach implies his only area of concern is the placekicker' position. Although the team does look good I am still trying to stay grounded, even pessimistic. The SEC is always the toughest conference and I have heard 'this is the year' quite a few times growing up as a fan. I was a year late on getting to see the last time it was 'the year' so I'm not wasting energy on anticipation anymore. If the team plays well and a few breaks go our way, who knows. If things don't go right we've still got a great young team and should be in good shape for the forseeable future.

The Bravos bounced back nicely this weekend, topping of a 'sweep' of the Mets by beating the golden boy, Johan Santana. Smoltz looked absolutely awesome which was good, but I am still concerned w/ his health. He doesn't need to be messing around with that shoulder and end up blowing it or his elbow out, that's Mike Hampton's job. It's way too early to say this but I'm saying it... If Chipper Jones plays 140 games and is moderately healthy, he will win the MVP this year. Hopefully a good road trip is on the way this week, a good win streak could really help set the tone for the season.

Oh and I forgot to update visit 2 to Turner Field for the year...
The Godfather scored tickets on the 11th row on the first base line for the 2nd home game last week. The seats were awesome and the weather was great. I am also happy to say that the Miller Lite flowed freely and they didn't run out this time. And w/ the luck already flowing for us, we ran into a friend who got us into the 755 club for the 8th and 9th innings. Not only is the view great from the club, they don't stop selling beer until something like 30 minutes after the game. Fortunately, the Braves pulled this one out to bring our record to 1-1 on the year as attending fans, not bad after going well below .500 last year.
