You can't fool the popo

Braves Update:
You win some, you lose some and Braves lost one to the New York Mets last night. The Braves went up against the only Mets pitcher to notch a win against them (actually two), Oliver Perez and he certainly came through for the Mutts, pitching seven scoreless innings in their 3-0 win over the Bravos. While Chuck James came out early, the Brave's stellar relief staff tossed five and one third scoreless innings, but unfortunately, the bats weren't able to pitch in. The Braves will finish off their series with the Mets when John Smoltz faces buddy Tommy Glavine for his 200th win. Coverage starts at 7:30 PM/est on TBS.

Games behind NY Mets in NL East: 2 1/2
Games above .500: 8
NL Wild Card Leader: Atlanta Braves

Braves Notes: Mike Gonzalez went for his third MRI on his left elbow on Wednesday. Results from an MRI taken last Thursday were inconclusive. Gonzo showed no signs of discomfort during light throwing on Tuesday.

NASCAR Update:
Well, it didn't take long for Matt Borland to find a job. Less than a month after resigning from Michael Waltrip Racing, Borland was named competition director at Haas-CNC Racing. Borland recorded 12 wins, 54 top fives and 83 top tens in 188 starts as crew chief for Ryan Newman at Penske Racing...In other corporate news, Greg Biffle's former crew chief, Pat Tryson is leaving Roush Fenway Racing. No word on where Tryson will be heading...Apparently it's the fact that its an odd year to blame for Kasey Kahne's disastrous 2007. Kahne had a stellar rookie season in 2004 finishing 13th, but in 2005, even though Kahne won his first race, he still finished 23rd. Last year (2006), Kahne made the chase and fished 8th but this year, Kasey is mirred back in the 30s . Here's to 2008!

Popo in my Crib News:
It's been a while since I've done this but there were a few college students making some headlines...Former Montana State University football player, Rick Gatewood and his brother were apparently engaging in some extra curricular activity. The two allegedly were apart of a cocaine ring that trafficed pounds of drugs to Bozeman. This is believed to be connected to a 2006 killing of drug dealer Jason Wright, who was allegedly kidnapped and then killed six days later by two MSU students, basketball player Branden Miller and redshirt football player John Lebrum. I guess when there's nothing to do, traffic cocaine? Seriously! Watch out Rick & co because the popo are on your tail!

Meanwhile, LSU back up quarterback, Ryan Perrilloux was suspended from the football team indefinitely after he tried to use his older brother's ID to gain access onto a riverboat casino in Baton Rouge. The 20 year old was issued a misdemeanor summons for one count of misrepresentation to gain access and was released. Watch out Ryan, because the popo are on your tail!

Celebrity Tid Bits:
Congratulations to Jordin Sparks, you're newest American Idol.

Hopefully you didn't eat yet, because this story made me throw up a little bit. According to US Weekly, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt from "The Hills" are engaged. I guess we'll find out this summer when the "The Hills" comes back for a third season.

Finally, catch Gary Allan on "Oprah" today (Thursday). He'll be discussing signs of depression, and the 2004 suicide of his wife Angela. Check local listings for air times.

It's' been fun blogging with you,
Kate
