VIRGINIA BULLPEN FALL APART, RACE POSTPONED


The Virginia Cavalier bullpen fell apart yesterday in the 9th inning against Virginia Tech, the Cavs entered the top of the 9th with a 5-3 lead before giving up 5 runs and losing to Virginia Tech 8-5. The big problem in the inning was 4 walks which is unacceptable. The Nascar races at Texas were washed out yesterday so they will try to run a double header again today staring at Noon with the Cup race. In the Stanley Cup Playoffs the Capitals will be back in action tonight at Montreal, last night the Penguins took a 2-1 series lead over Ottawa. Fellow blogger Keith is out of town this week in Kansas City for another tough week of government work. MICKEY

Toss your mattress after 5 to 10 years
A good mattress lasts 9 to 10 years, according to the National Sleep Foundation, but consider replacing yours every 5 to 7 years if you don't sleep well. A study at Oklahoma State University found that most people who switched to new bedding after 5 years sleep significantly better and have less back pain.

INTERESTING FACT
