Friday, October 23rd, 2009Yesterday was the 6 month anniversary of Capitol Avenue Club’s opening. I first opened this blog after my last project ended up going south (had nothing to do with me, the site’s owner decided to close shop).

More on Quentin-McLouth
Saturday, October 10th, 2009First of all, let me start by saying I have no agenda here. In no way am I “lobbing” for the Braves to trade Nate McLouth for Carlos Quentin.

Let’s take a look [...]
