Latest from Jeff Schultz
Dogs have resolve but they’re running out of bodies
If nothing else, Georgia has ensured at least one thing about its season. Regardless of where the rest of the schedule takes them, whether its to an SEC championship, a BCS bowl bid or a national title, there will be no claims from outsiders that this team received too many ...
Dogs overcome injuries and own defense in win
I’ll post my full column off of Georgia’s narrow escape -- a 34-31 overtime win over Tennessee, later on MyAJC.com. Until then, here are my three "Short Takes on the game. 1. GEORGIA'S PROBLEM ISN'T RESOLVE, IT'S LIGAMENTS: The Bulldogs' offense finished the game effectively without its top two running ...
Mike Minor gives Braves ace-like start they needed
There are several questions that the manager of a division-winning baseball team generally faces in the days leading up to the first playoff game. But this isn’t usually one of them: Who’s you ace? Even if it’s not mandatory for a team to have a clear pecking order in the ...
Braves in Game 1: No hit, no field, no chance
Well. That wasn’t very pretty, was it? The Braves, looking too much like the team that has lost in so many previous Octobers, lost their divisional playoff opener to the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 Thursday night. Here’s a link to my column on MyAJC.com. And here are my three “Short ...
Braves look like typical October selves
It was 2-0 after the second inning. It was 4-0 after the third, 5-0 after the fourth and really, after that, there wasn’t much reason to pay attention. It was like watching a punch-drunk boxer just standing in the corner, getting clubbed, waiting for the round to end.Ding. Must be ...
Falcons’ Dimitroff, Smith defend moves, remain confident
The Falcons are 1-3. It’s not necessarily a season-defining start but when a season stretches only 16 games, 1-3 is significant enough to create angst and anger among fans, doom and gloom in the media and second-guessing of every personnel decision made over the previous offseason. Which leads to Thomas ...
UPDATE: Braves leave Uggla off playoff roster
So it's official: The Braves have left their $13 million second baseman off their playoff roster. And who in spring training didn't expect that Elliott Johnson and Paul Janish would be the team's two second basemen in the playoffs? Dan Uggla is not among the 25 players the Braves can ...
Expect Georgia to rise vs. BCS field
The new Associated Press (media) and USA Today (coaches) rankings are out and Georgia has moved up to sixth in both of them. The first BCS standings come out in about two weeks. But with the same five teams currently ahead of Georgia in the two major polls, it’s safe ...
Aaron Murray is reason Georgia in title picture
Georgia officially announced its candidacy for the national title Saturday, and there should be no confusion how this team got here. It’s not because they were lobbed some puffball of an early schedule (then-No. 8 Clemson, then-No. 6 South Carolina, Saturday’s No. 6 LSU among the first four opponents). It’s ...
Credit Fredi Gonzalez for navigating through mess
It’s understandable why so many Braves fans would have a fatalistic view of Octobers. When a franchise wins one World Series in 48 years, despite a long run of division dominance and a line of inevitable Hall of Famers on the pitching mound, belief is going to fray around the ...
