Three straight one-run losses

2-4 on current road trip

tick…tick…tick…

Yeah yeah everything is way overpriced – on a recent trip I offered to buy Cyclones Fan a beer, but I baled when he wanted one of fancy imported beers. I’ll buy you a beer but the cap is $10. I offered to give him a $20 but I’m not paying $11 for a cup of beer.

>Oh man. I really wanted Big Brown to win the Triple Crown. Once again we see how hard it is to pull this off.

It was kind of nice to have some excitement around horse racing for a change, and I gotta tell I felt genuinely excited when the entered the starting gate.

Quote of the day, “I had no horse.”

Sorry BB, and congratulations Da’Tara
