Chipper Jones is entering his 19th season with the Atlanta Braves. I grew up watching the greatest switch-hitter since Mickey Mantle everyday, and while this may be his last season in 2011 ( .275/18/70 and an All-Star nod) still has something left in the tank. Here’s to a productive and healthy 2012 Chip.
This video really doesn’t need a caption. But when it gets one I will always choose “awful.”

I’ve said it before and I will say it again on this blog. BYU needs a reality check in athletics, at (18-6) and with a chance to make a statement at home they blew it against St. Mary’s (who leads their conference) and than made themselves look bad by blaming the officiating and throwing objects onto the floor. They haven’t beaten a quality opponent all year and that can be attributed to their lack of defense and too many chiefs behind the three-point line. Upcoming games against Gonzaga will essentially determine the Cougars fate as far as making the tournament in March.

These special edition NCAA men’s basketball uniforms look pretty sick. Normally Nike doesn’t do it for me with the pro combat style as noted here and here. But these basketball uni’s make up for what the football ones lacked.

The Atlanta Braves are content with their farm system and with good reason. Having placed five players on MLB.com’s Top-100 prospect list they future is bright. A lot of attention is going to be focused on shortstop this season as the Braves are giving the first crack at the job to Tyler Pastornicky who came over from Toronto in the Yunel Escobar trade. First impressions from the video above shows a swing that is a little too long and some hitches that may cause that. Outside of that he has good speed and should slip in nicely at the eight spot to generate some runs at the bottom of the order.
