HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME MA EVELYN, GREEN BAY AT WASHINGTON

Well today is Me Ma Evelyn's 90th birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME MA EVELYN. I have posted a nice picture of her with her favorite dog Mozart taking a few months ago. Today in the NFL the Green Bay Packers will be in Washington today to face the Redskins, I have to root for the Packers in this game but I will root for the Redskins the rest of the time as long as they are not playing the Packers. It was another tough afternoon on the football field for the Virginia Cavaliers yesterday when the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets ran all over the Cavaliers 33-21, the Cavs just could not stop Georgia Tech's triple option. The New York Yankees became the first team to move on to 2nd round of the 2010 MLB playoffs sweeping the Twins, the other 3 series wlll all be in in action today with Phillies and Rangers trying to close out there series while the Braves will be looking to take a series lead over the Giants. In the NHL last night the Rangers opened up the season with a 6-3 win over the Sabres, the Rangers looked very good last night will face the Islanders next on Monday afternoon in a Columbus Day Special. I will have the updated standings from Mickey's Place College Football Contest later this morning. MICKEY

Tell yourself, “Well, at least I…” Get some things accomplished. Yes, you had a horrible day, but at least you went to the gym, or played with your kids, or walked the dog, or read a magazine.

BRAVES EVEN UP THERE SERIES, REDS DOWN 2-0

Well I didn't stay up to see it but the Atlanta Braves evened up there series with Giants at 1 game piece with a 5-4 win in 11 innings. While the Braves turned things around th same thing cant be said about the Cincinnati Reds, the Reds blew a 4-0 lead by falling apart late in the game and losing to the Phillies 7-4 and it looks like the Reds season will end tomorrow. In high school football action last night the Colonial lost to Prince George 21-8 and the Crawford County Eagles lost to Lamar County 29-14 and I have posted the other scores of interest below. Today in college football action the Virginia Cavaliers will be on the road at Georgia Tech and facing there former head coach Al Groh who is defensive coordinator at Georgia Tech, I think this game could be interesting. In the NHL tonight my the New York Rangers will open up there season at Buffalo, the Caps dropped there opener last nigh to Atlanta 4-2. Jamie McMurray captured the pole for this weekends race at Fontana edging out Elliott Sadler for the top spot, by the way I was in Emporia yesterday for about 30 minutes. MCG
