The storm fans down at Joe’s were in full form last night as cows and mostly demolished barns were cheered on with much gusto. Your feerless author managed to take a pic of the destruction — ignore the word copter — he was really there.

Sunday night had the electric buzz of the post season as Ben Sheets mowed down 18 batters to secure a sweep in the most spectacular week of fantasy baseball thus far.

RETURN TO GLORY, PART 1
After beating down the Vadahadas 9-1 after some early lumps, the All-Stars turn their sights on the motherland — 1st place. Squatting squarely on that spot are the Diamond Anarchy Bots, whom are best known for their coy style of management (see managerial move of the week below).
This week’s heated […]

After all the uproar over an iTunes price hike, it looks like Apple has announced that they have multi-year contracts and will not raise the prices during those contracts.
