Best Place to Play Darts in Houston?

Posted in Houston, Leisure, Sports on January 22nd, 2009 by koree

So, where is the best place in Houston to play darts?  Don’t say Rudyard’s, please.  I’ve tried to play there, and there are just too many people, both playing and not playing, and the boards are in bad, typically high-traffic spots.  I’m looking for a place where I can just chill out and play and have a pint.  Any suggestions?

Cards GM Takes Questions from Fans

Posted in Saint Louis on January 22nd, 2009 by admin

In this article from STLToday, the Cardinals GM, John Mozeliak, answers fan questions.  I particularly like this exchange between Mo and a fan going by the name of “I Hate Bill Dewitt!!”:

I Hate Bill Dewitt!!:  Mo, Please describe what it’s like living in your little land of make believe where you honestly believe that Cardinal fans should be excited about this team.  If you wouldn’t mind, go into details, about how in MO’s world people are celebrating are three horrible new lefty relievers, and the signing of our awesome new .213 hitting shortstop.

John Mozeliak: First I rather live in my world then yours…it is sunny out today???  No you’re right it is 30 something degrees, my girl friend dumped me, and my car won’t start.

First, it is not we stink (unless you ask yourself these questions in the mirror) and we make decisions based on scouts, stats, and other information. If we thought Greene was going to hit .213 we would not, I repeat, not make the deal.  Go back to your world and I hope by mid summer you’re ready to come out for air.”

Astros Sign Backe and Byrdak

Posted in Baseball, Houston, Leisure, Sports, Uncategorized on January 22nd, 2009 by admin

The Astros have re-signed Brandon Backe and Tim Byrdak to contracts around $1Million.  As much as I love Backe, I’m not sure this is a good move by the ’stros, but at least it’s a move.

Thoughts on Yesterday…

No matter what you want to say about Barack Obama being President of the United states, one thing is certain:  It appears we now have a real leader.

Bush was not a leader.  Whether you think the decisions he made were good or bad, he never inspired us as a nation, nor do I think he really tried.  I am in no way arguing for or against his decisions, I’m merely stating that he had no ability to inspire us as a nation.  Barack Obama certainly has that ability, and I look forward to seeing what comes out of his Presidency.
