KEITH HOLDS ON TO THE LEAD

Well after 5 weeks of this years contest Keith has a 1 game lead over Craig for the top spot.  Craig took over 2nd place from Chiz who dropped to 3rd just 2 games back.  Murph, Scott, Andrew, The Chief, Bobby and Sean are lurking within striking distance of the top spot.  There are 12 players within 10 games of the top spot and we have had 6 weekly winners in the 1st 5 weeks of the contest.  This past week John had the best week going 15-7 while me and Neddo had the worst week going 8-14 and it cost me 6 spots in the standings.  I have to say Scott has made the most improvement in standings since week 1 when he was 20th and now after week 5 he is 5th.  Looks like another pretty tough week for games.  MICKEY

IT'S GETTING A BIT TIGHTER AT THE TOP

Well after 4 weeks of the Mickey's College Football Contest things are getting much tighter at the top of the standings.  Keith continues lead the the contest after week 4 but his lead is now down 1 game, Chiz is just 1 game back, Craig 2 games back and Murph, Andrew and the Chief are lurking 3 games back.  The Chief, Scott and Joy had the nest weeks going 20-2, by going 20-2 Scott moved all the way to 7th place and Joy all the way to 14th.  A couple of players had weeks they wish they forget, Jason went 10-12 and dropped to last place and Chris went 11-11 went from 10th to 20th in standings.  The top 14 players in the contest are within 10 games of the lead.  It looks like next weeks slate of games will be the the toughest so far this season.  MICKEY

POLLEN GETTING BAD

I have to say after running outside yesterday that the pollen is really starting to get bad.  Don't get me wrong I would much rather have temperatures in the 70's and 80's even if it does bring the pollen out than to have temps in the 40's like it has been most of baseball season.  Speaking of baseball season the Colonials went 1-1 this past week beating Hopewell and losing to Dinwiddie, we will be at home this week against Prince George and Meadowbrook.  The Virginia baseball team ended it's 2 game losing streak yesterday beating Georgia Tech, the Cavs will try to win the series against the Yellow Jackets later today.  Kyle Busc won Friday nights Nationwide race at Texas and last night he won the Sprint Cup race as well making it a clean sweep for him this weekend.  The Nascar Truck Series will race at Rockingham today a track I think the Sprint Cup Series should still race at, besides Richmond I have seen more races at Rockingham than any other track.  Well it looks like another heat wave will hit the area by the end of the week with temps reaching into the lower 90's.  MICKEY 

LOUISVILLE WINS THE NATIONAL CHAMPIOSHIP

Well I have to say I did not stay up to see the finish of lasts nights game but Louisville Cardinals beat the Michigan Wolverines 82-76.  I wish they would start these games earlier because the older I get the harder it is for me to stay up and see the finish.  The Virginia baseball team improved to 30-3 last night holding on to beat Wake Forest 9-7, next up for the Cavs is a game on Wednesday against Radford before heading down to Atlanta next weekend to face Georgia Tech.  The Colonial Heights baseball team will be at home tonight against Hopewell with the first pitch scheduled at 6pm.  Well its going to be very warm today with temps climbing into the mid 80's, the only bad thing about the warm temps now is that the pollen is really starting to get bad which is causing my allergies act up.  MICKEY   

MICHIGAN TO FACE LOUISVILLE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

The Michigan Wolverines beat Syracuse last night 61-56  and the Louisville Cardinals beat Wichita State 72-68 to advance the championship game tomorrow night in Atlanta.  I will be rooting for the Wolverines to win tomorrow night.  The Virginia baseball team improved to 28-3 on the season with a come from behind win at Wake Forest 7-6, the Cavs scored 5 run in the top of the 9th to come away with the win and will face the Deacons again this afternoon.  The Sprint Cup Series will be in Virginia this afternoon at the Martinsville Speedway where Jimmie Johnson will start from the pole and by the end of today's race I am sure there will be some drivers with some short fuses.  It does look like we will finally get some good baseball weather this week with temps in the 70's and 80's all week, the Colonials will be at home Tuesday night against Hopewell and will be at Dinwiddie on Thursday night.  MICKEY

COLONIALS SPRING BREAK TOURNAMENT

The Colonial Heights Spring Break Baseball Tournament starts today with 4 games at Shepherd Stadium starting at 10am this morning.  In this years tournament are Monacan, Clover Hill, Henrico, Varina, Dinwiddie, Hopewell, Prince George and Colonial Heights.  The Colonials will play all there games at 7pm and the tournament will continue tomorrow and Thursday.  I am hoping the that the weather will cooperate and we can keep the tournament on schedule.   MICKEY

SIGNS OF SPRING

Well it looks like we are finally going to see some sign of Spring with temperatures climbing into the lower to mid 60's the next 3 days before dropping back into the 50's for a few days next week.  All I know is Spring is about 2 weeks late and every baseball game and scrimmage we have played this year has been pretty darn miserable.  The Colonials baseball season has got off to a bit of a slow start only playing 3 games in weeks because of the bad weather and our record has been a bit slow as well going 1-2 in those games.  Next week the Colonials are scheduled to play 3 games in 4 days weather permitting at Shepherd Stadium with all three games starting at 7pm.  The Virginia baseball team continued it's winning ways last night beating Miami 15-4 and our now 24-2 on the season and will play Miami again today in game 2 of there series.  Well there is only 1 underdog team left in this years in NCAA basketball tournament after Florida Gulf Coast got beat last night by Florida, I will be rooting for Wichita State to upset Ohio State tonight.  The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is off this week for Easter.  I want to wish everybody a Happy Easter.  Mickey
  

FIREWORKS AT THE END OF YESTERDAYS RACE

Well the feud between Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano continued yesterday at the California Speedway when it appeared once Logano knew he wasn't going to win the race drove into the side of Hamlin wrecking both of them allowing Kyle Busch to win the race.  In an interview after the race Logano pretty much made it clear that he wrecked him on purpose as well.  The after the race Logano had a bit of another problem when he was confronted by Tony Stewart on pit road and had a brief altercation with Stewart, it's pretty clear Logano is not making to many friends on the track but plenty of enemies.  I have to say that's what Nascar needs though a clear cut bad guy and some confrontations.  The print Cup Series will be off next weekend for Easter before heading to Martinsville.  Well in the NCAA basketball tournament last night Florida Gulf Coast continued it's magical run beating San Diego State and advancing to the Sweet 16 where they will play the Florida Gators next.  I will also be rooting for Wichita State and LaSalle as well.  The weatherman sure messed up on the forecast yesterday and will be explaining what went wrong today with there forecast.  We where suppose to have a baseball game today and tomorrow as well, today's game has been postponed and I am guessing tomorrows game will be as well.  Well I am heading to work.  MICKEY   

CAN VCU MAKE ANOTHER NCAA TOURNAMENT RUN

Can the VCU Rams make another NCAA Tournament run this year?  This afternoon the Rams will face the Michigan Wolverines right in there own backyard in Auburn Hills, Michigan and with a win today would put the Rams in the Sweet Sixteen again.  The Wolverines are favored by 3.5 points but I think the Rams can win the game and I think that it will be a very close game.  In the biggest upset of this years tournament so far Florida Gulf Coast upset Georgetown last night.  I will be rooting for all the underdogs now since my brackets have been totally destroyed.  GO RAMS, MICKEY

COLONIALS FALL

The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball team lost last night to Thomas Dale 8-5 on a very cold blustery night in the Heights 8-5.  It was a game that went back and forth on the scoreboard most of the game with Thomas Dale just doing a bit more coming away with the win.  I just hope it will warm up soon because I am tired of freezing to death during the game, baseball was meant to be a game played in warm weather.  I just hope it warms up soon.  MICKEY

ITS GOING TO BE A COLD NIGHT FOR BASBALL

The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball team will play its second game of the season tonight at home at 6pm against Thomas Dale.  It will be the 1st district game of the year for both teams and its going to be a very cold night for baseball.  The temperature at game time is suppose to be 40 with winds 15-20 mph which means the wind chill will below freezing.  So needless to say if your are coming out to the game you should dress accordingly, I know I will be.  Also the NCAA basketball tournament get into full swing today.  MICKEY

THE WEATHER JUST HAS NOT BEEN GOOD FOR BASEBALL

The weather since baseball started in February just has not been good at all.  If it has not been freezing cold and windy it has been raining and even sometimes even some snow.   I just heard the weatherman say this morning it looks like temps will be below normal for at least the next 10 days which is not good at all, I just want Spring to hurry and get here.  MICKEY

IT LOOKS LIKE 3 TEAMS FROM VIRGINIA IN THIS YEARS NCAA TOURNAMENT

Well with Virginia's loss to N.C. State in the ACC basketball tournament yesterday it looks like there will be only 3 teams form Virginia in this years NCAA basketball tournament.  Liberty, James Madison and VCU will represent the commonwealth this year.  The Cavs appear to be heading to NIT where the can play a few more games.  The Virginia baseball team came from behind to beat Clemson last night 6-5 in extra innings, they will play game 2 of there series today against the Tigers and the game can be seen on ESPN3.  It looks like the temps are going to be very mild today with temps in the 60's before dropping back in the 40's with rain tomorrow, I wish Spring would come and stay for a while.  MICKEY

OPENING DAY

Well we are suppose to play our first game of the season at home tomorrow against Fredricksburg Christian at 6pm but it looks like Mother Nature will have a say in whether we play or not.  I have to say it's not looking good with 100% chance of overnight into the morning hours.  We will also be at home on Thursday night at 6pm as well against Henrico, so if you don't have anything else today com on by the Stadium and catch some Colonials baseball action.  MICKEY

SPRING & SUMMER CANT GET HERE SOON ENOUGH

Well after sitting through 2 very cold scrimmages the last two weeks I have to say Spring and Summer cannot get here soon enough.  We need some baseball weather tom move in before Tuesdays season opening game against Fredricksburg Christian.  The Virginia baseball team will open up ACC playing Maryland in a double header today, the were suppose to open up the series yesterday but the field was still a bit soft.  Qualifying for this weeks Nascar race at Las Vegas was rained out yesterday so they will up by last years points.  Also don't forget set your clocks forward an hour before you go to be tonight.  MICKEY

IT'S MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE WEEK AGAIN

Well I sure am glad that is Friday, it feels like it has been a long week.  Well we our going to try to play our 2nd scrimmage again tonight against Manchester  if the field dries out enough for us to  play, I hope we are able to get the game in tonight.  The Virginia baseball team will open up ACC play this weekend against Maryland, they were schedule to start the series tonight but field conditions have pushed things back to Saturday.  Also after today some Spring like temperatures will be arriving for the weekend which is just fine with me.  The Nascar Sprint Cup Series will be at Las Vegas this weekend.  Well I am going to work.  MICKEY

I AM GLAD IT THAT HAS BEEN MOSTLY RAIN

I know there allot of people out there who wanted to see allot of snow but I have to day that I am not one of them.  If all the rain we have received since last night would have been snow  it would have caused some major problems with our baseball schedule that is suppose to start next week.  We were suppose to scrimmage Manchester tonight but that is obviously not going to happen, there is a chance we could play of Friday but with all the rain  we have got so far that is even in doubt, however it is suppose to turn windy later today but we need it to stop raining soon.  I hoping we can play then but it is not looking good right now.  MICKEY

WILL IT OR WILL IT NOT SNOW

The big question this week is whether or not it will not snow Tuesday night into Wednesday.  Some of the weatherman  in the area forecasting up to a foot of snow while others say it is just going to be a cold rain.  I have to say I am hoping just for a cold rain because any snow this time of year is much worst for out baseball season.  It does appear a northeaster will develop somewhere of the Atlantic Coast and where it develops will determine the type of precipitation that we get, I am hoping this storm is bust.  I have to say yesterdays baseball scrimmage went pretty well with the exception of 1 inning.  Our pitching staff did very well and we hit the ball ok but not great but we need to improve a bit defensively.  We are scheduled to scrimmage Manchester Wednesday but with the impending weather its not looking to good for that scrimmage.  The Virginia baseball team improved to 11-0 with a pair of wins yesterday.  MICKEY
