        <body>Hello, Lolly. Yeah I saw those scores and the resulting perch atop the SEC West. Good stuff.

FGB - When I was in college, UGA was no good at baseball. We'd go to games just as an excuse to drink beer. We sit out on a hillside overlooking right field (outside the enclosure around the field) and have a cooler of beer with us. We'd get to exchange pleasantries with the opposing team's rightfielder.</body>

        <body>Stack - The UT student section used to be called the Dog Pound.  Our seats used to be above the visiting dugout.  We had a member of the Pride of the Southland that would bring his trumpet.  We had one pitcher that was from Canada.  He would start the mid-week games.  After the National Anthem, we would sing O Canada to him with a trumpet accompaniment.</body>

        <body>I noticed UT took 2 of 3 from Auburn this weekend. UGA did the same at Miss. St.
Stack1009 | 03/31/08, 04:19 PM

Alabama managed to take 2 out of 3 from the 15 ranked Ole Miss Rebels and move into a 3 way tie for the Western division lead... of course that is at 4-5 in the SEC so not sure that is anything to get excited about.</body>

        <body>-------------------- 
That's awful. But me being an awful person, here was my first thought: did he round the bases first before checking to see if you were okay?
Galloping_Ghost | 03/31/08, 04:16 PM 
======================================================== 
He was already either at second or close to it when they realized the ball had hit me.  He didn't finish his circuit, though.  He came out to check on me.  My mother, with her little short legs, was right behind him.</body>

        <body>FGB - Helton was a stud in college baseball. I noticed UT took 2 of 3 from Auburn this weekend. UGA did the same at Miss. St.

Texas A&amp;amp;M has a great tradition of its students taunting the opposing team in a fairly clean manner. It is funny to sit and listen to the stuff they come up with to holler at the other team.</body>

        <body>Folks, this is random, but this is my first cigarette free day in a long time, and it is sucking right now.  I am really going to try to not go back this time, but this just sucks.</body>

  <body>&lt;p&gt;Here are some items to ponder as baseball begins in earnest:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; All four No. 1 seeds have advanced to the Final Four for the first time. Favorites haven&amp;#39;t advanced so easily since the last Caption This &amp;quot;contest.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Davidson has its dramatic run ended by Kansas when a last-second shot missed the target. If only the 10&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;-seeded Wildcats had &lt;strong&gt;Tyler Hansbrough&lt;/strong&gt;; he&amp;#39;d have &lt;em&gt;willed&lt;/em&gt; the ball into the basket. Guess they just didn&amp;#39;t want it bad enough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; The last Opening Day in the history of Yankee Stadium is scheduled for today. A new park will open across the street next year. It will include many historic touches from the old stadium, including painstaking replicas of the concrete fa&amp;ccedil;ade, Monument Park and the air of insufferability. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; &lt;strong&gt;President Bush&lt;/strong&gt; threw out the first pitch last night as the Nationals opened a new park of their own. Washington D.C. hadn&amp;#39;t been so raucous since the last time &lt;strong&gt;Eliot Spitzer&lt;/strong&gt; was in town.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; &lt;strong&gt;Isiah Thomas&lt;/strong&gt; says that Indiana University has not contacted him about its coaching position. Hey, not everyone&amp;#39;s as clueless as &lt;strong&gt;Jimmy Dolan&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;bull; The Olympic Torch relay began today in Beijing. And this is convenient&amp;nbsp;-- carrying a lit torch&amp;nbsp;happens to be&amp;nbsp;the only way to see through China&amp;#39;s air pollution.</body>
