[TipOfTheCap] Superb! [/TipOfTheCap]
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

Good job Ron.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

Excellent, and I would also like to call attention to Sphinx's recap of last night's game.

Thanks Ron.  Someday it'll be easier to be an Astros fan.

Very nice!  Not as moving as Jim's previews, but pretty darn close.  I hope you find that picture.

Weird - the worse the Astros get, the better the previews get...:)
