Turns out most mainstream doctors and professional dietitians. They're attacking these latest fad diets on CNN and making Leeza seem like the McLaughlin Group. Last week 9,000 of them met in Atlanta for a conference of the American Dietetic Association, and even though the organization hadn't scheduled any Atkins talk for its seminars, it blasted low-carb diets as "a nightmare." JoAnn Hattner, a clinical nutritionist at the UCSF Stanford University Medical Center who attended the conference, worries about the high levels of protein and fat in many of these diets, as well as their lack...
There are some who say that Atlanta cannot be considered a great team, or the Braves' Bobby Cox a great manager, if they can squeeze only one world championship out of eight consecutive first-place finishes. They forget that the Orioles' Earl Weaver, generally acknowledged to be the best manager of the post-expansion era, pulled only one championship out of six firsts, and he never had to chain-smoke his way through three rounds of play-offs. Cox could have retired last Friday and history would recognize him as the outstanding manager that...
...exhausting, rain-sodden rumble the Atlanta Braves survived against the New York Mets for the National League championship last week consisted of six games decided by a total of seven runs, the last two games comprising 26 innings of struggle more nearly reminiscent of rugby union than of sunlit summer afternoons at the ball park. In the American League, the Boston Red Sox's lightning comeback against the Cleveland Indians in the first round was more histrionic than their testy five-game loss to the hated Yankees, but not remotely as dramatic. No script in baseball comes close...
Like Weaver's, Cox's success--Atlanta's success--has been built on three foundations: starting pitching, starting pitching and starting pitching. Like Weaver, Cox has excelled at identifying four strong arms and keeping all of them healthy. Pitching coach Leo Mazzone, who has been at Cox's side for the entire decade, says, "Pitchers are cared for here." Other teams, he says, "blame their pitchers--'Oh, we lost it on our pitching.' Those are the teams that won't be in a World Series anytime soon." Seven of the past eight National League Cy Young Awards sit on Atlanta...
...right - the Falcons are favored over... somebody? For anyone in Atlanta, there?s nothing to see here, please disburse; Carolina will have its rare chance to smile this Sunday. Their defense should get an ego boost against a Falcons team that mustered just 49 yards on the ground against the Steelers last week. In that game, the Falcons gave up just 14 first downs and still found a way to lose, as bad teams do. The Panthers are more talented than their record reveals. Look for the cat to eat the bird...
