One night they don’t show up, the next [...]

Well, if my nice little clock up on top is any indication, then the home opener is right around the damn corner (funny, I remember when I first set that and it was 105 days ago. Sweet christ).
I’ve done my best to preview this team and, just recently, posted the burning top 10 questions facing [...]

I saw that the BoA and BoO guys were rating their blogs, so I gave it a whirl hoping I wouldn’t get the G rating staring me in the face…well, good news:
