As the semester comes to a close, its a little disappointing to see the Georgia baseball team having such a down year. One of the best programs at the University for the past 4 years will not be providing any heroic performances in Atlanta or late inning comebacks in Athens during the month of June. As bad as Georgia has been for most of the year I had not heard any giving up from coach Perno, until tonight. In his post game interview after the loss to Tech, Coach Perno admitted that the team might just be too young to compete and many of the younger players will get more playing time the rest of the season in hopes of developing for next year. What was more surprising was a statement he made about the program as a whole. Siting the 2005 recruiting class as "significantly poor," he believes the program is in a rebuilding stage and might take a while to get back to where he wants to be. I see this team having a lot of potential for next year but the comments from Perno really are discouraging.
Though the baseball team will basically have to win about 10 of their last 15 SEC games to make the SEC Tournament, they would still have to win the tourney to get into the NCAA's. However, other things to look forward to include:
May 4th, David Price of Vanderbilt will pitch against Georgia in Athens. There's a great chance he will find himself on a Major League roster by the end of the year.
BC plays Calvary in baseball on Monday for those in Savannah.
Athens twilight rolls into town. Always a good time.
May 5th- Kentucky Derby.
Two of the top 5 days of the year come back-to-back. May 17th and 18th.
Tennis Team will win the National Championship, Suns win the NBA, and Vaughn Taylor wins The Players.
To Tiftarea and JD, beautiful people with a draw and allure that makes this time of year that much better!

The baseball team has been extremely disappointing. With Josh Fields being 1-6 with 5 blown saves, you are bound to have some problems.
Anyone sticking around for SEC leading Arkansas this weekend? Or is everyone heading to Statesboro for Beerfest? I'll be here if anyone wants to go Sat or Sun.
May 4th-David Price throws a no hitter and strikes out 18.
Won't be in Savannah for BC and Calvary.
Athens Twilight is always an interesting night. Probably the last weekend that everyone will be up here for the semester, so downtown should be an adventure.
A longshot will win the Kentucky Derby
Agree with tennis team prediction
Pistons win the NBA
Luke Donald wins the Players
