Post 13 Best Start Ever

Wilson Post 13  (11-1) is  off to the best start ever in the history of  Wilson Legion baseball.  Much of the success so far can be laid on the hands of three players who might  not be there if Rocky Mount  Post 58 was fielding a team.

Rocky Mount Gryphon Blake Helms so far is 3-0 pitching  while Rocky Mount Academy's MJ Jones is 1-0 as well Northern Nash pitcher Derrick Carter.  These three have won five of the 11 games that Post 13 has won so far this season.

Twenty four hours after the U.S. Open In which maybe the last fifteen minutes had more leader changes than ever had 11.5 million watching which was 40 per cent more than last year's open so I think Golf has moved on from Tiger being the only reason to watch golf.  Sunday night was the second most watched Fox sporting event ever only behind Super Bowl coverage.

All of the innovations Fox promised very few made and impact on the coverage.  They loved using that animation of the greens so you could see all the undulation but when ever they used it it covered up the trek of the ball.  They had bragged that they were going to used more cameras get more angles than ever before yet did not have a  camera to see the face of Jordan Speith when Dustin Johnson missed the putt to tie.  When they finally got a camera over to him he was obviously stunned having won instead of a playoff on Monday.

Can the ACC  break their sixty year drought since they last won the College World Series?  Virginia for the second year in a row is playing  Vanderbilt for the title.  Virginia just two weeks before the ACC regular season ended had not even qualified for the ACC tournament.  Virginia in the World Series so far has beaten the top seeded team in the whole tournament Florida twice and now must beat Vandy twice in order to break the ACC drought.  Vandy won the first of the two out of three 5-1 last night. Virginia will need to win tonight and Wednesday to give the ACC it's second title.

The U S women advanced in the World Cup beating Columbia 2-0.  Last night watched maybe  twenty minutes of the soccer.  I have noticed from high school age on up no fat people play soccer which might be a good thing if we all got more exercise.  I looked up just to see the price for a ticket and the highest price was 80 dollars.  I looked up to see how many fans could sit in Edmonton Stadium and it holds about Sixty thousand.  I don't think there was more than 25,000 in the stadium.  The U.S. Plays China in the quarter finals next.
