Charter Oak 21 Diamond Ranch 0 FINAL

Note to Friends: I’m completely aware that this initial attempt at live blogging was utterly pathetic…Please stop clicking!
4:29 A.M. (Dec. 12th, 2009): As the Tommy’s burger goes to war with my body…The thought that comes to me, again, is Amari Staten needed more touches… Only one in the second half…What gives?

With the temperature hovering a little below 50 I can at least say I’m warm unlike the rest of the staff
Didn’t get any grub…beautiful field…marvelous facility…but donde Hospitality Room for press?
Fairly uneventful first half…Crowd quiet…but cold
So it works this way…I tease Robledo and the Trib with a pic and smart comments…and then I go offline for the entire first half…except for the last 30 seconds…I’m getting schooled tonight…
