Memorial Day
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
Happy Memorial Day, everyone! I love these long weekends. They’re perfect for short road trips. I stuck around town for this one, though, since I’ve got a road trip planned for next weekend. We thought about heading to the beach, but inclement weather thwarted that idea. Instead, my girlfriend and I went to Target and bought a Slip-N-Slide for $10. I was going to use my 2-year old nephew as an excuse to buy one, but he didn’t even get a chance to play on it. But I figured out that a Slip-N-Slide is just as fun when you’re 26 as it is when you’re 6!
Speaking of 26, my birthday is this Thursday so I’ll be a year wiser (I’m trying to ignore the fact that 27 sounds a lot older than 26). I’ll be in Houston celebrating - that’s the planned road trip. I''m going to at least one Astros game and I’d like to invite Houston’s newest fan to join me. Welcome to the Astros fan club, Kris!
For those of you who haven’t been tuned in, I made a friendly “wager” with Kris, a Brewers fan, over the Astros/Brewers series over the weekend. Since the Astros took two out of three, Kris has to cheer for the Astros the rest of the year. But since I’m such a gracious winner, I’ll even pull for the Brew Crew some (especially when they play the Cubs).

Well, Congrats . . . should have known better than to put my team against a SPORTS GUY'S TEAM!! Oh well . . I will cheer loudly for the Astros every game that I hear or see . . . .and you'll have to keep me posted on which players to watch in particular. Oh, if only Ben had been in a little better health in that particular first inning. You win some, ya lose some.
GO ASTROS!!

Actually, I had my concession speech ready before the series started. Since the 'Stros had won a grand total of THREE road games before this series, I didn't have much faith in them.
Mr. Sheets went to high school right outside of the town that I work in, so I hear a lot of news on him. It's good to see local guys succeed, so I'll definitely cheer for the Brewers when he's pitching (unless it's against Houston, of course).
