Game # Who Cares: Turds V. Hosiery
Twins: Not even close, Pale Hose: Way too many
LP: Yeah
WP: Is anyone actually reading this?
Save? Heh. Right.
Cole De Vries was too depressed to live journal after the game, you guys. That's how bad this game was. Nick Blackburn burnt the last of his remaining bridges. I guess that's a positive, right?!?
Culture Club: The Cochon Butcher. The BBQ pork sandwich is better than any art I've ever seen. Ask DPWY. In all seriousness, I raved about this sandwich for weeks after I first devoured one in March. Dr. Chop grew tired of me talking about it. She begged me to stop telling anyone and everyone who would listen that there was this mystical sandwich made from a wonderful, magical animal in New Orleans. Then she had the opportunity to eat this delight and said to me, "you undersold how good this sandwich is". Seriously, you guys.
Minor Details: Games of 7/25
New Britain and Fort Myers put their hitting shoes on. A huge day for Aaron Hicks. Strong outings by Matthew Hauser and Jason Wheeler.

July 26, 2012: Habit
Even when we suck and they don't, I still can't stand watching my team lose to the Hosers.

July 25: Amendment
I've been asked to dedicate this CoC to The Dread Pirate's attempt to pass the bar. I always assume one of our forty-seven budding lawyers is in the middle of attempting to pass the bar, though.
