As you may notice, some of the wishes have already been taken care of, but there are still several desires yet to be fulfilled. Let's cross our fingers and hope St. Nick can work his magic and deliver this year.

They were below .500 in the first half, below .500 in the second half, below .500 in one-run games and woeful in interleague play. Teams in their division have been active this off season. The Cardinals...

The fortunate thing that happened after that post was written was having to spend thirteen hours at the mall trying to peddle the company's books. Why was that fortunate? Because...
