Same old Braves.....

Some things never change. After opening the 2009 major league baseball season with 2 straight wins over the defending world champion Philadelphia Phillies, the Atlanta bullpen imploded yesterday.

With a seven run lead going into the bottom of the 7th inning........four Braves relievers' combined ineptitude.......led to 8 Phillie runs.

That 7th inning? 6 walks.........5 hits........and 8 earned runs. Philadelphia won the game, 12-11.

Ouch!!!!! From Yahoo Sports: Down 7 in 7th, Phils beat Braves 12-11



39 wins..........0 losses..........

The University of Connecticut (UConn) womens' basketball team completed an utterly remarkable season by beating Louisville, 76-54. (UConn wins NCAA title in 76-54 rout…)

A perfect ending to a perfect season.

Consider this.........Uconn won all 39 games by double digits....a first in college basketball.

For head coach Geno Auriemma (pictured) and his talented lady Husky team, this was UConn's 6th national championship and 3rd undefeated season. Only the Lady Vols of Tennessee have more titles ( eight).

So our congrats ..........to the women of UConn..........




Happy Trails......Marvin Webster..........

Back in the day..........he was known as "the human eraser". He stood 7 feet 1 inch tall......

Webster played 10 seasons on professional basketball for 4 teams in a career that spanned from 1976 to 1987.

From the Associated Press:

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Former NBA star Marvin Webster has been found dead in a bathtub at a Tulsa hotel.

The 56-year-old Webster was discovered in his room Monday morning in the downtown Ambassador Hotel, police said Wednesday.

Foul play is not suspected and the death apparently stemmed from an illness, police spokesman Jason Willingham said. He added that the former 7-foot-1 center had been living at the hotel and employees grew concerned after not seeing him for several days.

The medical examiner office said the cause of death has not been determined.
