WaShaun Ealey...My bad

Two years ago, I wrote an article proclaiming WaShaun Ealey to be "The future of Georgia football." Dude brought his A game against GT in 2009, but failed to be the unstoppable force I expected to see versus foes from the SEC. And, considering the fact he'll lace 'em up for Jacksonville State next season, I think it's safe to say I missed the mark on that one.

In my mind, Ealey was destined for greatness. And, he still may be. It just won't happen in Red and Black. And that sucks.

But, the arrival of heralded freshman, Isaiah "The Funk" Crowell, outta soften the blow a bit. And now that WaShaun and Caleb King are gone, Richard Samuel rejoins the Georgia Bulldog backfield.

Maybe I should have learned some kind of lesson by now. But, I expect both Samuel and Crowell to destroy opposing defenses between the hedges. In order to re-emerge as a factor in the SEC East, the Dawgs will need to do this...

Braves vs Rocks

Last night, the Atlanta Braves played like a team I might ask to kick rocks. But, the 12-3 whoopin' Colorado laid upon 'em accounts for just one L in the loss column. And, the first place phils are just 4 games better than the dudes from ATL. So, I'm gonna let that one ride.

Tim Hudson will be looking for his tenth victory tonight, as he squares off against rookie hurler, Juan Nicasio. In his first MLB season, the 24 year old Dominican Republican has posted a respectable 4-2 record, including a 4.24 ERA for Colorado.

Jason Heyward will be back in the Braves lineup, after sitting out the last 2 games with a boo boo on his foot. First pitch is scheduled for 8:40 eastern.

Sounds like somethin' funky is 'bout to go down. Click on the title of this post.
