Ice Melts, Dogs Game Postponed

Well the Richmond Riverdogs were suppose to play last night at the Richmond Coliseum, but the ice was rule unplayable at around 5pm. Needless to say there were not to many happy people from visting Frostbite, to the Riverdogs front office, and all the Riverdog fans. They had monster truck event this past weekend and and Elton John Concert on tuesday night and yet the coliseum coundn't get the ice ready for it's primary tennant last night. It just goes to show that the city hasn't done anything to correct the problems the cloiseum has had over the lst several years, and that goes back to the UVA and Michigam ST game that had to be cancelled because of the moisture on the basketball court. We are getting some much needed rain this morning, the only problem is that allot of leaves are falling with the much needed rain we are getting. A couple of ACC basketball teams are in action tonight Radford is at VA Tech and the Miss. Valley St. Delta Devils are at Wake Forest, it just doesnt feel like baskeball season yet. MICKEY

It Looks Like It Is Going To Be A Nice Week

Well it looks like it is going to be a nice week weather wise here in CH, highs in the 70's all the way till friday and the on friday in the mid 60's with no rain expected even though we probably need it. The Packers played another pretty bad game yesterday losing 20-10 to the Steelers, it seemed like every time the Pack got inside the 20 they fumbled or threw an interception. The Pack may only win two or three games this year. Meanwhile the Redskins looked pretty good knocking off the Philadelphia Eagles 17-10, the NFL East has to be the toughest division in the NFL. Carl Edwards won for the second week in a row at Texas yesterday, the win puts him within 90 points of Stewart for the Nextel Cup. There are two races left and there are only relly three drivers who have a shot at the Cup ant they are Stewart, Johnson and Edwards. MICKEY

Va Tech Has A Tough Day, UVA Wins

The Va Tech Hokies had a tough evening losing to the Miami Hurricanes 27-7 in Blacksburg. The Hokies who may have controlled there own destiny may not even win there confeence in the ACC now and they can forget about the championship game in the BCS after the loss at home yesterday. Meanwhile UVA got back on the winning track yesterday with a 51-3 beating of a bad Temple team, UVA must win one more game to be able to play in a bowl game this year. Today in the NFL Pittsburgh will be at Green Bay, the only reason the Pack might have a chance is the Steelers are pretty banged up. Also today the Philadelhia Eagles are in DC to play the Skins tonight, the Eagle are without star reciever Terrell Owens because he has been suspended by the Eagles. The Nascar race is Texas today, Tony Stewart will try to extend his points lead today over Jimmy Johnson. Also yesterday I went in threw a little batting practice yesterday afternoon at a secret place to a few of our players at an indoor facility so today my arm is a little sore. MICKEY

Dogs Try To Pick Up First Win

The 0-5 Richmond Riverdogs will try to pick up there first win of the season tonight in Elmira, NY. The dogs didn't make any trades over the last few days so it is very possible that they will be 0-6 after tonight. They are suppose to have a new player in the lineup tonight but they won't announce who it is until later today. I think I am going to see the JV Colonials play tonight against the Matoaca Warriors. Well I did not win the lottery last night, the only good news about that is that nobody else won either, friday's jackpot is now 192 million dollars.
