Roaring Start

This Morning the 13U Nash County Babe Ruth All Stars crushed North Piedmont 10-0 to go to 2-0 in pool play.

Wow!!!! what  a start for the Nash County Babe Ruth 13u all star team playing in the Southeast Regional in Greenville.  Our guys held Lawrence TN the Northeast Tennessee Champions with out a run winning 2-0 in what had to be a great pitching duel.

That is only step one as they are back on the diamond this Thursday in round two of pool play taking on North Piedmont a Babe Ruth team from Statesville.  North Piedmont lost to Tallahassee Fl 12-4 in their Wednesday game.

If this happens and Nash County beats North Piedmont and Tallahassee beats Lawrence Tn then both Nash County and Tallahassee will qualify for the semi finals which will be played Saturday.  They meet Friday but they would only be playing for seedings as both would already be in to the Saturday games.  That would bring into play do you save your best pitching for a possible Saturday semi's and Sunday final?  Both must win today for that to happen.

I  am shocked to hear that Tom Brady is going to fight the NFL on his four game suspension.  The ruling from NFL commissioner Roger  Goodell really didn't say directly his four games was upheld for any cheating in relations to deflating footballs.  He said it was for his unwillingness to cooperate with the NFL during their investigation.

We all as sinners in this world have it deep inside of us that the more power we have there are those who abuse their privilege to have that power.  Tom Brady is the pretty boy of the NFL and since he works for the team fined more than any other in NFL history they the Patriots organization and it surely looks now that Brady thinks they are a little bit above the law.

There is no doubt throughout history we have seen plenty of abuse of power in this country.  Richard Nixon already president wanting to make sure he would win his second term  sent spies into the Democratic headquarters in the Watergate Building to see what the strategy was going to be against him in the 1972 elections.

Even Bill Clinton  tried to tell us was the definition of it when he was in hot water over sexual conduct in the White House.  When you reach a certain status in life you do what is necessary to keep that status whether you obtained that status by cheating or you earned it the old fashion way, worked hard for it.

There is that old saying that if you tell the lie long enough you will begin to believe it is the truth.  Now near the end of his NFL career Brady wants to go out as an angel as his myth has made him out to be.

How valuable is Brady to the New England Patriots?   The year he got hurt in the first game of the year they won 11 games without him.  Peyton Manning hurt his neck  and sat out a year for the Colts and they won the top draft pick for being worse team in league.  Make your own assumptions.
