Call me not too hip with short form writing. Call me a slack-jawed sports columnist. 2009-06-02T06:26:47-05:00 http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/some_things_i_dont_understand_and_trust_me_im_trying/ http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/some_things_i_dont_understand_and_trust_me_im_trying/#When:17:20:31Z And no, this isn’t a blog about how the MLB finally decided to move games up by, wait for it ... wait for it .. a whole freakin’ half and hour during the World Series. (Sorry, I’m not a publisher who still tries to play sports writer). Nor is it a blog about Blue Jays ace Troy, Frank, Bob, Ron, Doc Halladay. (Or whatever the heck his name is, sorry, he’s not local therefore I don’t spell his name because you don’t freakin’ care!) 2009-05-19T17:20:31-05:00 http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/so_what_did_you_friday/ http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/so_what_did_you_friday/#When:17:16:12Z Because all the Fort Defiance girls track team did was shut the naysayers up, look at the R.E. Lee girls track team—a heavily favored R.E. Lee girls team at that—and say, “No, not yours,“ and win coach Dave Stewart his sixth district championship in three sports the past two shool years. Yeah, can you top that? Of course not. Stop trying. 2009-05-18T17:16:12-05:00 http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/meet_paul_hatcher_lees_legendary_baseball_coach/ http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/meet_paul_hatcher_lees_legendary_baseball_coach/#When:16:36:45Z Sorry, that headline isn’t a typo on my part. Blame that one of the Staunton School system’s newsletter obtained by this sports columnist that thanks Paul Hatcher—who is retiring from teaching and still mulling his basketball future—for his years of service to the school. 2009-05-15T16:36:45-05:00 http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/theres_good_theres_great_and_then_theres_shenandoah/ http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/theres_good_theres_great_and_then_theres_shenandoah/#When:14:48:32Z Facing a Riverheads team that the world forgot as it managed to kick, claw and scrape its way into the annual Shenandoah District baseball logjam (and, really, let’s think about making “logjam” an official part of this district’s name and, no, I’m not kidding), Buffalo Gap needed a good pitching outing to win its third straight regular-season title. The Bison got it and a little help from a few friends in Fishersville (but we’ll get to that later.) 2009-05-13T14:48:32-05:00 http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/disappointing_a_reader/ http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/disappointing_a_reader/#When:22:26:57Z The phone call I got was good. Nothing wrong with it at all. Just a Waynesboro boys soccer fan calling (and not leaving his name, but it’s fine because his call was the right way to do it) letting me know that I made the wrong choice Tuesday by deciding to head out to the Wilson boys soccer game instead of Waynesboro boys’ win over Western Albemarle. 2009-04-22T22:26:57-05:00 http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/look_what_waynesboro_went_and_did/ http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/look_what_waynesboro_went_and_did/#When:16:06:12Z If there’s one thing Waynesboro boys soccer program has needed, it was Tuesday night’s overtime win over Western Albemarle. Why? Well, it’s simple really. 2009-04-22T16:06:12-05:00 http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/jones_says_r-m_truly_lucky_to_have_pickle/ http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/jones_says_r-m_truly_lucky_to_have_pickle/#When:15:53:44Z If Pickle Nuckol’s name looked good written in gold on a black hoodie, then teammate Boone Jones’ name rolled off the tongue with ease. Jones, who played football with Nuckols as a defensive back and wide receiver and was greeted with chants of “Boooooooooone” by fans after each play he made, said late Monday that Randolph-Macon College is “truly lucky to have Pickle for the next four years of his life.“ Prep Football 2009-04-14T15:53:44-05:00 http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/acord_nuckols_makes_stuff_happen/ http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/acord_nuckols_makes_stuff_happen/#When:16:50:51Z Mitch Acord has the pedigree to hand out coaching advice when it comes to Pickle Nuckols, or any member of that 2007 Buffalo Gap state championship football team. 2009-04-13T16:50:51-05:00 http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/pickle_wont_be_the_only_one_who_will_miss_it/ http://www.mydailyprogress.com/index.php/uponfurtherreview/comments/pickle_wont_be_the_only_one_who_will_miss_it/#When:19:17:47Z As far as I know, Buffalo Gap running back Pickle Nuckols has never lied to me. Never made any watch-me predictions of his yards. Never told me he planned to score five touchdowns in a game twice. Those things just kind of happened. 2009-04-12T19:17:47-05:00
