Hello there fellow football and cocktail enthusiasts. Unfortunately this week is another scramble/ thrown together post. I feel like that has become the norm the last few weeks due to re-adjusting from travel and sick kiddos. The latter reason has struck again sadly. Well... Not sick per se, but somehow

I agree with Chris Simms that McDaniel is getting a bum deal and it should be GM Chris Grier that should be taking a fair amount of heat. Although I admit that this ball of "Fire McDaniel" is rolling downhill and there's little to stop it. Flotsam and Jetsam: -As if the

So that's a nice thing. Through 2/5 of the season, tied for the division lead at 7-5. Because almost everyone else is 6-6, because oh, we got parity. Highlights from the first four series (including a 9-game homestand): -Came back from an 8-5 deficit in the 8th inning to salvage the last
