UVA FALLS TO OREGON STATE, MUST WIN TODAY

The Virginia Cavalier baseball team fell to Oregon State yesterday 5-3 in Charlottesville and today face a must win situation to make it to the NCAA baseball Super Regionals. UVA lead the game 3-0 before Oregon State rallied for 5 unanswered runs to pull out the win, the Beavers refuse to go away lightly but I guess that why they are the defending NCAA baseball champions. Also yesterday the tournaments #1 seed Vanderbilt was eliminated by Michigan so if the Cavs win today the will be the home team in the Super Regionals against Michigan. Martin Truex Jr. won Monday's rain-postponed race at Dover which was his 1st Nextel Cup victory, he pretty much had the fastest car all day, next week the Nextel Cup Series travels to Pocono. Also yesterday former Nascar president Bill France passed away at the age of 74 from a long battle with cancer, he pretty much made the sport what it is today in popularity. In the Stanley Cup Finals last night the Anaheim Ducks beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2 and now have a 3-1 series lead, they will play game 5 tomorrow in Anaheim. My AIP index is up this morning because I have a terrible sinus headache. MICKEY

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
