Home Opener Rained Out

Is it just me or what, can any one tell me the last time a triangle team and I am talking legion played a game in Rocky Mount during the regular season. Yes, Cary was here last year for the Eastern Championship but somehow or other no one else seems to ever get here. We must have have that Down East syndrome or something. Tonight's game against Durham has been rained out. I got the call from Joe Bell around five when it was just drizzling and that tells me Durham called and said they weren't coming. Convenient ain't it.

Next game for Post 58 is Saturday night at 7.00pm at Gryphon stadium.

N C State announced today that Chris Schaeffer the Pack's starting catcher will miss this weekend Regional as he has lingering effects from being knocked out in the ACC championship game Sunday. The pack is making that dreadful trip to Myrtle Beach while North Carolina gets to go to Beautiful Norman Oklahoma. I have not seen ESPN's TV schedule for the weekend to see if we will be able to watch either live of if we will have to use Game tracker.

There seems to be no clear answer to what kind of tournament the ACC needs to hold in baseball that will not wear out the pitching of all the teams. The best scenario that I have heard is let 5-12 play day one just like the basketball tournament. The winners then play the top four seeds in a single elimination tournament. If a top four seed makes it to the finals then they will only play three games just like any conference weekend. If any body else makes it then they will have to play four games and that is the punishment for not finishing in the top four.

What I really like about this proposal is all teams play and every thing is important for every team playing. This round robin format just doesn't cut it.

Tiger Woods will try to hold on to the #1 world ranking this weekend as he once again returns to golf. I just don't understand how the world rankings works. Tiger has one top ten finish in the in the last eight months any yet he is still number one. Both Phil and Tiger are playing in Jack's tournament The Memorial.

How bout those Atlanta Braves, they have taken over first place from the slumping Phillies. I have a good feeling about this Braves team.

Tonight is game three of the Stanley Cup. Somewhere along the way I have lost my care for this years Cup. The Hurricanes have not played in seven weeks.
