I hate to drop a dime on a brotha but I believe Brandon McElroy was promoted to the A's at Tulsa. I'd double check with the AD before taking my word for it. I'm horribly unreliable.

Beers on me. For the record, this is THE MOST and COOLEST swag I've seen for the Ladies. There is a mountain in my kitchen...it's bigger than my dog and Artemis is a big girl. I cannot say it enough, so I'll just start saying it early: We at TCAA are so proud y'all are coming down to throw. You honor us, and yourselves, by keeping this Games going. The Ladies of TCAA have left no stone unturned in getting y'all some really neat prizes and giveaways; we've called in just about every favor we have to make sure your efforts are rewarded. Personally, I take a lot of pride in this Games, in particular, because it is one of a kind... And it's one of a kind because y'all make it so.
