Help Nick Vogt Meet Tayor Swift!

As many of you found out from this webpage, a few months back, my good friend, Nick Vogt, an officer in the Army Rangers was severely wounded after stepping on a roadside bomb. His recovery to this point has been nothing short of miraculous. 

The other day, his mom told him he had a special visitor and he immediately perked up and said "Taylor Swift?!" but it ended up being his sister (which is awesome too!). However, I know it'd be a real treat for Nick to meet Taylor Swift, so please sign this online petition going around - and spread it to your friends and family! Thanks so much!

Marlins Home Run Feature: Almost as Ugly as Their New Uniforms!

Perhaps inspired by the (actually pretty cool) Home Run Apple of the New York Mets the Florida Miami Marlins have decided to have their own outfield home run sculpture. 

Words can not describe the atrocity that this is, so you'll have to settle for the Youtube video showing what it will look like.

It's almost complete. Woof.

I dare say it's almost as ugly as Miami's new uniforms:


Some Big Changes Coming to the Astros?

Some changes will be welcomed by fans - including lowering many ticket prices - and some may not - including a name change in the future.

I personally am a fan of the name Astros - even if they don't play in the Astrodome anymore, Houston obviously has a rich history with American space flight. Also, the history of uniforms of the Astros, including their infamous "rainbow" jerseys, is so bad it's good.
