I'm not sold on the new album quite yet. Does this mean that I'm over Craig and the boys? I dunno.

2014 Game 59: Houston Astros at Minnesota Twins
Dallas Keuchel

Phil Hughes
The Astros had a poor April, winning just nine of the 28 games. May was much kinder as they won 15 of 29 and so far in June they have won two out of four. The Astros being the doormat of the AL, especially to at-best mediocre teams like the Twins, appears to have ended.

Shortly thereafter, I started to study for the bar and the stress/boredom of that compelled me to start a blog. Yep, the ten year anniversary of the various incarnations of this site/community is coming up. (The actual ten year anniversary is July 17th.)
