Now we know why the Falcons and every other NFL team didn't announce any new uniforms during the NFL Draft: Nike unveiled a series of new "Rivalry" uniforms for every NFL team to wear once a year, to go along with the home unis, road unis, alternate unis, throwback unis, and icy white unis that teams wear.
Man when a team plays their long time inter division rival, that's when I most want to see teams wearing their regular uniforms - or throwbacks. Falcons / Saints. Packers / Vikings. Bears / Lions. Used to be that you could turn on a game and know who's playing based on the uniforms – in all sports, college and pro. Now with almost every team wearing a different uniform every week, you have to look closer to figure out who's playing who. Whom. Ugh.
Braves win again. So they won 3 then took 2 of three twice, then another win last night – that's 8 of 10, right? Plus the GM keeps making player move after player move. Demoted 2 pitchers and Kelenic and adding Ian Anderson and Rosario. Can't hurt. Just adds to my theory that if the Braves trade Ozuna, they could bring him back next year.
Some want outfielder Eli White to play shortstop, since he played SS years ago in college. Maybe he can, but so many fans forget that the major leagues ain't like little league, where you can switch positions every game. Fans want that free agent outfielder that got suspended for drugs to play SS as well. There's probably a reason those guys are in the outfield. What you'd gain in offense you would lose in defense. Whenever the Braves shortstop makes a great play, people need to say "Eli White wouldn't have made that play". With a runner in scoring position, that's be another run on the scoreboard.
Ceil fixed the beef tips for supper. I had rice and gravy.
Lifted weights at the gym this morning. I have been able to add more weight to lift recently. Need to keep added more weight, a little at a time.
Stopped by Cozy Coop this AM since I had yet to try out their chicken biscuit. A big piece of chicken. Hot and pretty good. Now that I'm having disaster after disaster this AM, I'm glad I got the biscuit.
Well this past weekend I busted my lawnmower trying to cut over a stump. Bent the blade. My bad. Thinking about just buying a new mower. It's always something. I am looking into buying a new lawnmover. Current one isn't super old, and runs well. I need to make a move real soon. If I were to take this broken one somewhere I would have to take off work. No telling how long it would take to fix. And there repair cost would be half the cost of a new mower. Then take off work to pick it up.

ANDRUW JONES [B-R Bio] is the only National Leaguer to hit home runs in his first two World Series at-bats. In G 1 of the 1996 WS, Jones homered off Andy Pettitte in the 2nd inning and off Brian Boehringer in the 3rd. At 19 years, 180 days old, he became, and still is, the youngest player ever to hit a home run in the World Series, bringing Mickey Mantle's record. Jones is a member of an elite club with only hall of famers Willie Mays, Mike Schmidt, and Ken Griffey, Jr. with both 10 Gold Gloves and 400+ home runs. In 1997, at 19 years old, Jones was the youngest Opening Day starter in the history of the Braves franchise, which dates back to 1876, when they began as the Boston Red Stockings.
