I'm back...again!

I got back yesterday from my vacation in North Carolina with my aunt, uncle, and cousin. It was the right temperature every day of the week but there was quite a bit of rain. I missed the pool/beach three days because of rain, but it was still a nice week. When I got back to the burgh I went straight to my family reunion which I missed the first 3 hours of. But hey, fashionably late. :P The reunion was very small but still fun. After the reunion I went to dinner with my parents and uncle, aunt, and cousins, not the same ones I went to N.C. with.

In other news, the Buccos traded Nady and Marte to the Yankees for 4 minor leaguers. The only high point for us is that our outfield is still loaded. Nady will be missed for his bat and arm, but we have Jason Michaels and our only good minor league prospect, Andrew McCutchen. However our pitching is good when our bats are not and are bats are good when our pitching is not. We lost four straight to Colorado before winning four straight then dropping the next three. We must win three of the next four with Colorado after being swept by them two series ago.

That's all folks!
