First, Brian at MGoBlog breaks down Rivals.com's 2002 recruiting class rankings. I could explain his metrics and hype the article, but I'd rather just say..."Trust me. It's a must read." File under the heading: "Do Recruiting Rankings Matter." (Ht-Fanblogs.com)
Secondly, The Realist looks at the surging Diamond Dawgs. Personally, I find it very frustrating that Perno's Dawgs continue to have such yo-yo like seasons.
The team goes into bi-polaresque funks where nothing goes right for weeks on end, and then the team will hit a manic streak when they can do no wrong. Once Perno matures as a head coach and finds a way to maintain the team's focus for the duration of a season...watch out. He's too good a recruiter to not make this program into something great. He just needs to find a way to develop week to week consistency. (Ht-Dawgsports.com)
Don't forget the Diamond Dawgs vs. Yellow Jackets game at Turner Field has been moved to Thursday.

"Yo-yo" seasons are common throughout baseball, and at every level. It is just the nature of the game. During the Braves run of consecutive titles, most of the year they play .500 ball, but they go on streaks 10 wins or so a couple of times during the season, and the streaks are what separate them from the pack. It is true with hitters and pitchers. Unlike Football and basketball where physical talent tends to consistently win, there are a lot of variables that make baseball much more difficult to control. So, I think Perno is doing fine, and wouldn't expect a lot more as far as consistency is concerned.
