Get out there and vote

Hello there sports fans and a few people that have accidentally come across this humble mans blog. This is the second blog of who knows how many. Depends on if I ever wake up and realize that I am the only one that is looking at this thing. As all of you know this is a sports blog so lets get into a little of what I am thinking about.

Lets start out with my favorite baseball player who is getting no respect at all by fans out there. I am talking about the baseball switch hitting stud for the Atlanta Braves, Chipper Jones. This man is going to going into the hall of fame with a career .310 batting average and current 398 home run, and right now is the number one average hitter at .418, and he is not 1st in the 3rd base voting. You have got to be kidding me. How can you not vote for a guy who has the highest batting average in the modern era at this time in baseball. Chipper Jones is about a fourth of the way through and still has a over .400 average. Can he get some love. I have seen more love from a cheerleader to a nerd in high school, than Chipper Jones is getting for his all star type of season. He is a very above average 3rd baseman too so he is not just a Ryan Howard who are all offense and have not yet gotten defense up to date. Can I get some readers to vote for Chipper Jones so we can have a guy that is on an amazing tear as a switch hitter and not have David Wright there who is not even on a .500 team.

Now that that is off my chest a little lets talk about a man who opened up his mouth, or wrote down some stupid smack that should go down as one of the more stupid statements of the month. Yes I am talking about you Pete Prisco. When you are talking about the most overrated player on the Jaguars you should not say that the person is Rashean Mathis. A player that has worked his butt of coming from a division 2 player into one of the best corners in the league. A man who has 20 interceptions and 303 tackles in his 5 years in the league. That inludes an injury plagued 2007 year. So look at the numbers and the speed and ability before you put your foot in my mouth. You may have beaten me with how far you put your foot in your mouth, I am not sure I will have to ask my wife. I am sure that you have though.

So there are some good news though and that is Paul Spicer is in the OTA practices for the Jaguars and that Doug Collins looks like he is going to return as the "new" coach of the Chicago Bulls. HE is a very intense man which did not work with Scott Skiles but hey you never know.

Well for the next Tim probably not this soon. Keep telling other people.
