Going to Carolina @ Chattanooga tomorrow and maybe Saturday pregame, depending on how I do, then going to West TN @ Huntsville with my church group Sunday(stupid Michael Saunders getting called up! gahhh). Planning on trying to go to Memphis @ Nashville on Monday also. Gotta make up for lost time haha. Thanks to everyone who has been praying or thinking about me and my back. I'm still not convinced the situation is better. I feel the same pain and everyone is trying to convince me it's the nerves healing. We'll see.

Saw Callix Crabbe's car get sideswiped by a bus from bluegrass tours and then it just kept going. The police apparently got ahold of the company and said the company has a policy against unscheduled stops or something stupid... He wasn't that upset about it actually. it did quite a bit of damage to his doors(they wouldnt open), his mirror, and his front end. He was going to drive it away though I believe.

Next up Montgomery @ Huntsville

bigorange

Glad to see your back at it

MidSouth Minors

I must say, this is the biggest load of crap I've ever heard of. At least they didn't run over a person. "Blood? Oh, it'll wash off. We can't stop until we get to the next Cracker Barrel!"

Can't the dirtass bus driver be charged with hit and run by Memphis police regardless of whatever the "company policy" is?

If you smoke a car and just continue on thats a serious charge.

Memphis police? it's Nashville haha Callix wasn't upset and it was his car... he seemed to get ahold of the police... so it's his problem that I'm sure bluegrass tours will take care of. It was just crazy to see.

sMatt

Yeah I am sure the bus driver had made a mental note of Callix's license plate and was going to call the DMV at his next scheduled stop and find out where he needed to send a check to There's no reason for Callix to be so nice about it, for the safety of everyone else who drives or parks on public roads, he should find the best lawyer out there that can put those idiots out of business.

ELSKOTTO

Montgomery @ Huntsville had great help from a great friend and got...

Huntsville:
Michael Brantley 1/1 - stopped on his way out into the parking lot and waited on me to get to him after the game. He was very cool about it, Josh haha but I did just have a team setter and it was just one. No complaints though.
Lorenzo Cain 1/1
Lane Oglesby 1/1 - grounds keeper in the team set haha his card calls him "The Sodfather"

Jeremy Hellickson 1/1, 1/1 - was signing 5-6 per and was friendly about it... I heard he was a turd...
Neil Allen 1/1 - I called him over to do JUST my one and then of course he ended up signing 70 cards for about 5 other people lol so he gave me a hard time about that and he told us about his mom always having a huge stack of cards for him to sign for her friends that she plays bridge with haha
JT Hall 1/1
Alex Jamieson 1/1
Eddie Morlan 2/2
Rocco Baldelli 3/3, 2/2 cards 1/1 2003 ESPN Magazine(It's a feature of 7 different players and I now have 6 of them signed: Baldelli, Snelling, Rauch, Foppert, Jerome Williams, Marlon Byrd... missing Brandon Phillips... who i've gotten before.... just not in the magazine) told us he'd sign for everyone after the game and true to his word he did on the field and then he actually did for anyone that wanted more when he came out of the clubhouse after the game. Nice guy.

and of course.... the reason I went down there... and took help....

David Price 5/8, 5/8 before, and then after: 6/8, 3/3, cards and a SS baseball with #1 pick. He doesn't say much but good grief did he sign over 100 autos just tonight easily. Couldn't ask for more from one of the biggest prospects in baseball. Any night of 20 David Price autographs is a pretty darn good night in my book.

Next up Greenville @ Rome Friday probably...as I am moving back to Chattanooga to prepare for graduate school at UTC and am still recovering from back surgery with physical therapy.

MidSouth Minors

Hellickson seemed to be ok about signing when I saw him earlier this year.

It's interesting to see Price's habits this year. People posted strict one earlier, then he started doing everything and now is down to 5 or 6. You just don't see a top prospect change his signing habits that much in one season.

well if you look at the first post in this thread I got flat out shut down from getting him, he signed 1 per in spring training for my dad and I when we were the ONLY ones out there too. I predict within a year he'll be down to a Kazmir-ish decently friendly one per.

Get him while the gettin' is good!

is the davis or gamel for sale?
