Friday Links and AFL Report
Friday, October 23rd, 2009Yesterday was the 6 month anniversary of Capitol Avenue Club’s opening.

I do [...]

According to some supposedly reliable news source in Tennessee called “The Tennessean”, the Braves have signed their 1st round (7th overall) pick of the 2009 MLB rule-4 draft, Mike Minor.

The Braves Did Something Called The Draft Today.
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009I’d like to start this entry with a personal anecdote: I got home at about 6:45 PM EST this evening. Anxious to find out who the draft selections thus far had been, who the Braves have picked (if they have), or who is left for them to pick (if they haven’t), I opened up my [...]
