Eric Brunner trade turned into a solid deal for Columbus. (Getty Images)
Since we are nearly done with the 2009 regular season I figured it was high time we started

it happens and really helps push a club towards the playoffs instead of an early start to
winter.

hallway.

Hey y'all.
Before anything, I would like to address this major issue: I HATE ALLERGIES. Last year was the
first year I had ever gotten em, and I hate it even more this year. Absolutely hate.
But on the bright side - I did catch 6 bluefish and a striper this week. So spring is good for
something.

Hey everyone. Its been a busy news day:
+ Eric Brunner, our 2nd round pick and first pick in the 2008 draft, has
